national park on the island of Java in Indonesia
About Baluran National Park
This park is a forest preservation area that covers about 25,000 hectares of the north coast ofEast Java. The park offers some great scenery and has organised safari activities. Safari is a much misused term in Asian travel circles but in this case it is appropriate - there is something very African about the savannah grasslands of Baluran. Of the three large national parks in East Java, this is the easiest to reach and, despite the neglected roads within the park, the easiest to travel around. The value and unique nature of Baluran was first recorded in 1928 by Dutch botanist AH Loedeboer. National park status was granted in 1984 since which time the tourism potential of the park has slowly been realised. The dominant feature of the park is 1,247 m high Mount Baluran, a dormant volcano. T
