This popular
nature attraction, which is located on a 4-hectare site
at the heart of the still pristine and verdant Krau
Forest Reserve is divided into two attractions - The
Deerland Animal World and the Deerland Nature Park.
The Deerland
Animal World keeps a variety of wildlife in an
environment that replicates their actual habitat.
Visitors can get up close to the animals, which include
ostriches, and the Malayan sun bear (Helarctos
Malayanus). A 200-metre long wooden walkway with an
observation tower at Bukit Rengit facilitates a tour of
the area.
The Deerland
Nature Park houses more than 30 Indonesian deer (Cervus
Timorensis). It offers visitors more
activities to partake, including camping, herb
identification tour (about 40 species of rainforest
herbal plants), jungle trekking, 'flying fox' cable
facility, jungle cooking demonstration, jungle survival,
and bird watching, among others. Packages are available
for one or more activities.
