Ever wondered what goes on at night in Zoo Negara? A different group of animals come out to play!
Zoo Negara offers an educational programme called Zoo Camp.
It is a fun and informative experience that combines learning about wildlife with a sleepover adventure.
For the price of RM122 per person, the programme includes a 2D1N stay, camping in tents, and a night walk, during which you will observe nocturnal animals in their natural habitat
Expert educators will guide you, sharing their knowledge about these fascinating creatures and their unique adaptations that allow them to thrive at night.
There will also be a wildlife enrichment session where you will be guided to prepare feed for the animals, followed by a small feeding session at the end.
You will get to prepare some food and watch zookeepers provide them for the animals.
