Lok Kawi Wildlife Park (GPS: 5.8516, 116.07066) is a zoo in the town of Lok Kawi, some 15 km south of Kota Kinabalu. This is the result of ten years of planning and preparation by the Sabah Wildlife Department. Opened on 17 February 2007, the 280-acre Lok Kawi Wildlife Park showcases all sorts of animals, especially those endemic to Sabah. This is an excellent zoo and one of the few places in the world where you can get to view the extremely rare Sumatran rhinoceros. Also found here are the proboscis monkey, Malayan tiget, the ubiquitous orang utan, the Borneo Pgymy elephant, and much more.

There is a one-square kilometer aviary where you can walk with exotic birds. Then there is also a botanical trail that is 1.4 km in length.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
