Located in the state of Selangor 13 km to the northeast of Kuala Lumpur, the National Zoo is within a few minutes drive from the busy capital. Originally constructed in a virgin forest surrounding a natural lake, the 110 acres zoo provides an oasis-like retreat from the growing city. The long standing history of Zoo Negara, as it is known in Malay, makes it Malaysia’s foremost zoological gardens. The establishment prides itself on having an open concept of lodging animals in skillfully landscaped, large enclosures.

The zoo is home to over 4000 animals, reptiles, birds and aquatic species from both Malaysia and around the world. Several exotic species that are endemic to the region can also be viewed at the zoo such as the Sumatran tiger, the orangutan and the gibbon. The premises have been divided according to a well planned system making it convenient for visitors to find the exhibits they wish to see. Among the most popular menageries are the Reptile Park, Bear Complex, Cat Walk, Savanna Walk, the penguin exhibit and the extensive aquarium which houses a great variety of salt and fresh water species.
