javaprivatetour.com – If you’re tired of the usual hustle and bustle of Jakarta with its towering skyscrapers and traffic jams, I’ve got a hidden gem for you. Nestled in North Jakarta are some incredible mangrove forests that offer a refreshing escape from the city life. Yes, you read that right – a little slice of nature right within Jakarta!
While many Jakarta residents tend to head out to nearby cities like Bogor or Bandung for a breath of fresh air, there’s no need to go that far. Right here in Jakarta, you can find the serene mangrove forests of Taman Wisata Alam Angke Kapuk and Suaka Margasatwa Muara Angke. Let’s dive into these fantastic spots.
Taman Wisata Alam Angke Kapuk (Angke Kapuk Nature Park)
First up, Taman Wisata Alam (TWA) Angke Kapuk is the place to be for nature lovers. This conservation area spans over 99.82 hectares and is dominated by a variety of mangrove trees, such as Avicennia, Rhizophora, and Sonneratia. The lush greenery here is perfect for anyone looking to escape the urban grind.
But it’s not just about the trees. This park is a birdwatcher’s paradise with species like the little egret, grey heron, white-bellied sea eagle, and many more calling it home. You might also spot other critters like water monitors, mudskippers, and even mangrove shrimps.
There are plenty of activities to keep you busy at TWA Angke Kapuk. From bird watching at the observation bridge, exploring the hanging bridge, to camping out, there’s something for everyone. Fancy a peaceful walk? The trails here are perfect for a leisurely stroll while soaking in the sights and sounds of nature. You can also get your hands dirty and buy mangrove seedlings to plant. And if you’re up for some adventure, renting a rowing boat to navigate the water paths is a must-try!
Visiting TWA Angke Kapuk gives you a unique experience that’s hard to find elsewhere in Jakarta.
Suaka Margasatwa Muara Angke (Muara Angke Wildlife Sanctuary)
Next on our list is Suaka Margasatwa Muara Angke (SMMA). This wildlife sanctuary was first established as a nature reserve back in 1939 by the Dutch East Indies government. In 1998, it was transformed into a wildlife sanctuary by the Indonesian government, ensuring the protection of its diverse ecosystem.
Located in Kapuk Muara, Penjaringan, North Jakarta, SMMA is close to the upscale Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK) area. Despite being one of the smallest wildlife sanctuaries in Indonesia, it plays a crucial role in preserving various species of birds, reptiles, and other wildlife.
SMMA is home to around 91 species of birds, including 17 protected species. You’ll find birds like the little cormorant, grey heron, Javan pond heron, and more. Other residents include long-tailed macaques, small-clawed otters, reticulated pythons, and estuarine crocodiles.
Although visiting SMMA requires prior permission from the Jakarta Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA) office, it’s definitely worth the effort for the chance to explore this unique habitat and observe its inhabitants up close.
