A WILD AFFAIR
Right before summer, Bali Safari & Marine Park (BSMP) held a Wild Affair media gathering that included resident local, Indonesian national and international media to showcase the theme park’s Wild Affair Campaign. This event was held in the Panorama Lounge of Mara River Safari Lodge as well as inside the Tsavo Lion Restaurant. Hosted by a 3-year-old cheetah, considered the fastest animal in the world, the African safari animal charmed dozens of guests under the full moon. The event was also attended by Hermawan Kertajaya, a marketing guru. He entertained the audience with a lively and informative speech about his experience on the Night Safari, part of the Wild Affair campaign that was created by Bali Safari & Marine Park.
Wild Affair is a nature excursion campaign that features the interactive relationships between human, nature and animals, creating an emotional bond and sparking passion for the sustainability of endangered animals. Wild Affair emerges on BSMP signature products such as the Tsavo Lion Restaurant, Mara River Safari Lodge, Elephant Back Safari, Night Safari, Safari Journey, Safari Poo Paper and many more. After Kertaiaya’s talk, guests enjoyed dinner in Tsavo Lion Restaurant followed by a live cooking demonstration of their signature banana flambé dessert.
