Visit to A-Famosa Animal World Safari, Malacca - 10th September 2002

This post is actually taken from one of my old websites. I did not actually manage to finish the write up at that time but here are the pictures anyway.




I had decided to check out the A-Famosa Animal World Safari before recommending my friends to visit it. Conveniently located off the Alor Gajah exit on the PLUS north-south highway, it is about 1.5 hours away from KL or 15 minutes from Malacca. Upon exiting from the toll plaza, turn left at the roundabout. At time of my visit, there were no advertisement sign near the roundabout except for the road signs located in the middle of the roundabout. Bad idea - since there was a big sign put up for the national day celebrations that blocks the view.
The A-famosa resort is a big family oriented resort with hotel, holiday banglows, water theme park, riding and lots of other recreational facilities. Upon driving into the area, I felt very relaxed. The landscape has been well laid out with wide roads and big shady trees along the way.
The Animal World Safari is located quite a distance away from the entrance but the road signs are adequate. Upon reaching, I was surprised that each car would be charged RM2 for parking fees. I glossed over this minor issue (but more would be on the way), paid the fees and parked my car.
Tickets are RM32 for Malaysian adults. Foreigners have to pay slightly more for entrance.
