Viral Visitor Gets Out of Car in Wildlife Area, Check Out the Safari Park Rules You Must Know

Kapanlagi.com - Recently, the online world was shocked by a video showing the reckless actions of a Safari Park visitor who got out of their car in the middle of the wildlife area. Even more shocking, the visitor also brought a small child along! Nearby, a warning sign clearly stated "Do Not Exit the Vehicle".

This attention-grabbing video was posted by the Instagram account @folkshitt on Tuesday (18/2/2025), and it immediately triggered a wave of condemnation from netizens. Social media users deemed the action very dangerous, not only for the safety of the visitor themselves but also for the animals living in the conservation area.

Unfortunately, such violations are not new. Safari Park Indonesia (TSI) has repeatedly reminded that opening windows, feeding animals indiscriminately, or even getting out of vehicles in the wild animal area can have fatal consequences. This reckless behavior not only endangers oneself but can also disrupt the ecological balance of animals that should be allowed to live peacefully in their natural habitat.

1. No Getting Out of Vehicles in the Wildlife Area

At Safari Park, there is one golden rule that must always be remembered: never get out of the vehicle while in the wildlife area, especially in areas with wild animals such as lions, tigers, and bears. This rule is not just a formality; the animals here still exhibit predator instincts that can trigger their hunting instincts at any time, even if they appear tame.

History has shown that violations of this prohibition can lead to very serious incidents. Therefore, the management of Safari Park emphasizes that this rule is non-negotiable, and any violations will receive strict penalties.

2. Don't Stop Too Long in the Wild Animal Zone

Safari Park has established strict rules for the safety of visitors and the comfort of the animals. In addition to prohibiting visitors from getting out of their vehicles, they are also not allowed to stop too long in the wild animal area. This policy aims to maintain the smooth movement of vehicles, so as not to disturb the animals' habitat or the experience of other visitors.

Vehicles must drive slowly and may only stop under certain conditions; otherwise, it could attract the attention of animals that may pose a danger. Violations of this rule are taken seriously and can result in warnings or even expulsion from the tourist area.

To ensure compliance, officers have been deployed at various strategic points, ready to maintain order and safety for everyone.

3. Feeding Animals Randomly is Prohibited

One of the very important rules at Safari Park is the prohibition of feeding animals randomly. Although it may seem trivial, this action can have fatal consequences for the health of the animals present.

Recently, a shocking incident occurred when a hippopotamus was found chewing on a plastic bag that was suspected to have been given by a visitor. Fortunately, the staff acted quickly to remove the plastic before more serious health problems occurred.

Such actions clearly violate Law Number 5 of 1990 concerning the Conservation of Natural Resources and Their Ecosystems, and visitors who violate this rule can face penalties ranging from warnings to being expelled from the tourist area.

4. Close Vehicle Windows While in Wildlife Zone

When entering the wildlife area, visitors are reminded to close vehicle windows to ensure the safety of everyone involved.

Although the temptation to take close-up photos or feed the animals is very enticing, such actions can risk provoking aggressive reactions from the animals present. The Safari Park firmly urges all visitors to comply with this rule.

If you want to capture the moment, simply use the car window as a barrier or use your camera's zoom to get clear images without having to open the window.

5. Follow Signs and Instructions from Officers

The Safari Park has equipped its tourist routes with various warning signs designed to help visitors understand the applicable rules. However, unfortunately, many still ignore these instructions and act recklessly.

In addition to the clearly displayed signs, the on-duty officers are ready to reprimand anyone who violates the rules. Serious violations, such as getting out of the vehicle or feeding animals with dangerous food, can have fatal consequences, with visitors being asked to leave the area immediately.

By adhering to the existing rules, the experience of visiting the Safari Park will be safer, more comfortable, and certainly more respectful of the natural habitat of the animals that inhabit this beautiful place.
