Night safari on buggy ride

It was a impromptu decision to visit Taiping night safari after dinner as there’s not much to do at night here , we arrived around 9:30pm . Bought the tickets and we need to line up about 10-15 minutes for the buggy , buggy ride was roughly 40 minutes ride from start to finish with the driver explaining in Malay language and using his torch lights to show us the animals at night . Hardly can see any animals , very visible was the flamingo , crocodiles , giraffe , zebra , elephant which was at the end of the ride .

Nice Experience in the Zoo
There are many animals in this zoo. The best place to introduce the type of animal to your children. Their cages are also clean and the staff on the train explained about the animals in detaily. You can choose whether to walk along this zoo or take a train available but need to queue. If you want to observe the animals closely, you better walk but it require a lot of energy because the zoo is quite large.

Amazing nightlife
We walked through the night safari for an hour and got a good apprehension the of the animals. We were able to watch sun bears playing, tiger swimming, panthers roaming and slow loris crawling and etc. There are shelters to rest at or take cover from rain. However, the night safari did not meet some of my expectations. There were no walking trails for those who are walking. Some paths were poorly lit. No lights on some of the signages and information boards. The trams don't light up, nor do they have headlights. Padestrians clear the path upon hearing its motor sound. The tram may be a good option for those with babies or those who have difficulty walking long distances. Even though the tram driver uses a torch and speakers to explain about the animals to the passengers, it's nothing compared to getting a closer look at the animals through walking.
