Come meet one of Malaysia’s most endearing mascots at the 35-acre Orang Utan Island – a breeding sanctuary cum conservation, research and education centre. Observe these primates as you walk through the 100m steel ‘cage tunnel’. Don’t miss the opportunity to interact with the star attractions, two orang-utan babies, at the end of your visit.
The island is part of the Bukit Merah Laketown Resort, which also has a water and eco park. The resort is just an hour’s drive from Ipoh.
