Lok Kawi Wildlife Park

Introduction

The Lok Kawi Wildlife Park is managed by the Sabah Wildlife Department. Occupying an area of 280 acres it is one of the largest wildlife parks in Malaysia.
It is home to a fascinating and varied collection of tropical animals comprising mammals, birds and reptiles. These animals live in large enclosures designed to be like their natural habitat. Water is used as barriers wherever possible, together with low fences and walls camouflaged with vegetation. This open environment concept provides for easy viewing and unique opportunities for wildlife photography.

The park encourages the public and particularly schools to use its educational facilities to provide an authentic learning experience through observation and also by listening to tour guides and park staff during the visit.

A botanical garden has been developed to highlight common plant species of the rainforest as well as some of the more unusual species such as pitcher plants.
