Home to Borneo Pygmy elephants, Malayan Tigers, Deers and even orang utans, Lok Kawi Wildlife Park is a great place to visit especially for those with kids.

Great experience in Lok KaWi wild life park

I am so pleased I went to Lok Kawi. I wanted to spend more time observing orangutans and the conditions were good for them, lots of orangutans to observe. Also an animal show where you could see snakes. Other animals include Proboscis Monkeys, tiger, elephants, leopard, birds, gibbons etc. Spent 3 hours here and was v worthwhile. Although this place is not really big, I would recommend everyone to go. I spend around 2 hours here in total. At the entrance you will find some older bird cages, which are not the best. But later in the park, the cages become bigger and better decorated for the animals. There was quite some construction going on, so hopefully this will result in all bigger/better cages in the future.Had lots of fun during animal show which were full of surprises.My kids having so much time. We found the staff to be very polite and knowledgeable, the animals all looked healthy and content. There are 4 beautiful orangutans which we were able to feed. They was a large variety of animal life. Fantastic experience. #staycation#summervacation#awesomepic#nationalpark#themepark#naturalwonders

Friendly animals 🦧🦤🐘🐃🐂🦚🐆#animals #Wildlife

The place is clean. All the animal looks healthy too.. There was a show they did during my visit there but unable to enter because there was too many visitor at that time. Zoo keepers are very friendly. Will explain about the animals. Also they let you feed the animals (elephants and bears). Bird show was fun. At 11:15am / 3:30pm daily. Takes about 1.5 - 2hours for the whole park. Can end your visit with the bird show at 11:15am. The zoo offers a diverse range of wildlife, providing visitors with a chance to see both native and exotic species. #travelanywhere #sabah #lokkawi #loveanimals #

Lok Kawi Wildlife Park

#malaysiatrip The zoo offers a diverse range of wildlife, providing visitors with a chance to see both native and exotic species. However, some areas might benefit from additional enrichment for the animals and renovations of the park. Overall, it's a family-friendly destination with a focus on conservation and awareness. Do bring mosquito repellents and extra clothes (sweaty day) when planning a visit, alongside tickets can be bought on the spot.
