The peak of Mount Arjuna who was blue and covered with mist rising in the north. On the east, stretches of green valley with fields and rice fields and houses among trees. That's as far as the eye could see from Jatiharjo Village, Kec. Prigen, Kab. Pasuruan, East Java. A village developed into a tourist attraction which is interesting since the presence of Taman Safari Indonesia (TSI) in the region.

On holidays, Prigen Safari Park, a distance of approximately six kilometers from the highway Surabaya - Malang westward it was pretty solid. But on a typical day, whether the street from the highway Surabaya - Malang and in locations which achieve the Safari Park-an area of 400 hectares was deserted.

Prigen Safari Park attraction has been felt, when the visitors had time to consider rustic along the road between the highway Surabaya - Malang to the Safari Park. On either side of the narrow road snaking up and down, people's homes seem shady by horticultural crop plants.
Almost in every village resident Jatiharjo yard, overgrown with fruit trees, like rambutan, mangosteen, mango and others. While the moor that looks fertile land overgrown with growing vegetables and verdant expanse of rice fields by rice plants.
