Baluran National Park, Indonesia This is his African ...

has the widest expanse of savanna in the Java Baluran National Park in East Java. If you visit here certainly seemed to be in Africa, although I have never been to Africa he-he ... Baluran National Park is a tourist destination that is quite different. 

Why do I say different? Because here we are lucky if can find a lot of wildlife that is truly wild do not like in a zoo or Wild Animal Park. Wherever we look at the Safari Park close to various animals, even they can approach us if they smell food from the car. But not here. The reason to enter into its National Parks that we must enter somewhat damaged the dirt road for 40 up to 1 hour drive.

Baluran National Park is located in District Banyuputih, Situbondo, East Java Province. North boundary is the Madura Strait, east of the Strait of Bali, and in the middle of this region are Mount Baluran which is no longer active. 

But being a pretty sight when we saw from a distance savanna. Baluran National Park is representative of dry forest ecosystem in Java, consists of savanna vegetation types, mangroves, monsoon forest, beach forest, lower montane forest, swamp forest, and forest evergreen throughout the year. 

For lovers of photography you should come here during the dry season, June-July-August because the water in the dry forest, and yellow grass. In the dry season, animals such as deer, bison, peacocks in the forest out towards savanna. 

Party National Park provides water and puddles, so the animals out in the dry season and were close on the road. These animals are very shy, because if there is a car approaching they will run away into the forest.

If you come during the rainy season and the plants are very abundant water so that residents park like bison and wild buffaloes chose to go into the interior of the park to meet with visitors. 

In order to better enjoy the trip in the National Park Baluran try before you enter this area you visit the information center to get a brief explanation of Baluran National Park. After hearing lengthy explanations usually we can better appreciate, do not disturb, damage, take, or hunting flora, fauna and ecosystems. 

Facilities Section Head of Digital Distribution and the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy, said Budi Supriyanto access to Baluran National Park is not expensive and it seemed like in Africa. Along the way to Savana Bekol in Baluran National Park is on the right side of the road a lot of oak. 

Suggested start the journey in the morning. Hopefully find a fog so that images can be more dramatic for photography lovers. I recommend if you come here at 04.00 am. Why? Because sunrise (sunrise) in Baluran National Park is very nice.

Here there is a spot Bama Beach to see the sunrise , around Bama Beach there are also many mangrove trees and conservation areas. But please be careful here because a lot of wild monkeys. 

If your guard down a little, it could be your phone or camera can be taken by the monkeys. Bama On the Beach we could hire a boat to get around the National Park. In addition here is also pretty good snorkeling spot, but you need a little bit to the middle and could see lots of fish and marine life. 

After that we can move on down the Padang Savana throughout the National Park. If you want maximum see animals that were here you'd better walk away, because the animals here are very afraid of humans. Hearing the sound of a car engine or the motor alone these animals ran away into the forest.

Why should walk away? Yes reckoning outdoor sports, can all be healthy and good photo is not it? I am grateful to come to this location since dawn, as it turns out in the morning a lot of animals out. 

I found the Java bull, peacock clustered, even peacocks fly freely in the wild. I was lucky to capture this moment. When I can be a lot of photos of these animals, in many social media because they asked me to come here at the time did not find a lot of wildlife. Though the key is coming early to the Baluran National Park.
