Observe their delicate nests,as well as their deft movements in the treetops and fascinating feeding behaviour. The guide will also explain the behaviour and characteristics of this unique primate known as the orangutan, or”man of the forest”.

The farm houses over 1,000 saltwater and freshwater crocodiles in enclosures that resemble their natural habitat. Visitors can witness crocodiles in action during feeding time and also see other fascinating animals like bearcats, pythons, peacocks, otters, and the Arapaima Gigas, the world’s largest freshwater fish.
6. Annah Rais Bidayuh Longhouse

9. Gunung Gading National Park
Visit the national park to see the world’s largest flower, Rafflesia, which emits a foul odour to attract insects for pollination.
