Talkkok

Melaka is blessed with many tourist attractions,one of them is the A’ Famosa Resort,located in Alor Gajah. I went there with my family last couple of weeks, supposed to post this earlier but was bogged down by few PCNs projects which need to be issued out before Xmas break.

Finally, I found a time now to share with Talkkok’s supporters.

The A Farmosa resort

The A’Famosa Resort is rated by many as the region’s foremost leisure and holiday resort. Situated on a 1300-acre site in Alor Gajah, surrounded by rolling hills and a lush countryside, A’Famosa is a dream getaway which will entice your senses, calm your nerves and leave you totally refreshed and rejuvenated.

It’s strategically located off the North-South Highway- just half an hour’s drive from historic Malacca city, 45 minutes from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport and about an hour from Kuala Lumpur. The resort is also extremely popular with Singaporeans as it only takes two hours by road to go there from the Lion City.

A’Famosa offers an international championship 27-hole golf course, the highly-acclaimed Animal World Safari,Water World Theme Park, Equestrian Club, Resort Hotel, Villas , Condotel, excellent conference/banquet facilities and much more. It’s one of the few resorts in this region that can truthfully claim to have ‘something for everyone’ regardless of age, whether you’re an avid golfer, animal lover, watersports enthusiast, or just someone who enjoys a blissful, worry-free escape from the hustle and bustle of modern city living.

These were the introductory and enticing words from the resort’s website…..

We started our journey from the Animal World Safari:

The Animal Safari World map

Before entering, you can see these beautiful creatures already:

Camel offered for ride

And beware of stepping on its’ peanut-sized feaces on the ground:

Guess what are this black particles?

The Pony

And the Twin Elephants

The entrance ticket sticked around my wrist

A big entourage of Iran tourists were visiting too

Grand welcome by this Tiger at the entrance

This Tiger is placed at the entrance to welcome the guests and photo can be taken with it for a fee of RM10 if not mistaken..Actually no personal photographing is allowed but i managed to take one …

Next you will be greeted by this pair of Parrots

Same for this, you can have a photo with these for a fee. This time is slightly more expensive-RM15.

The next one

One noteworthy thing about this Animal World is the whole area is well maintained,clean,bright and visit friendly,compard to our state Zoo (refer to my Aug 7th post on the Melaka Zoo visit) .

The clean pavement

Even the grass is cut and dry instead of marshy ones seen in Melaka Zoo

Immediately we queued up for the Safari ride. The A’Famosa Animal World Safari is an amazing wildlife Safari that houses over 150 of the finest species from the animal kingdom. Watch in amazement as you encounter the majestic Tigers, Lions, Giraffes, Camels, Zebras, Elephants and other creatures roaming freely in the Safari. You can also explore the magic of wildlife habitats and environment in the bumpy safari trucks.

First was the horse

Then crocodiles

Then girraffe

Next i saw Lukas & the camels of course...

Then Zebra

followed by more exotic animals like this one

In Melaka Zoo, I can’t expect to see this animal at close range like this!!! This was a good one…Not only this, i also had the chance to see following:

Lion

Another TIger resting on the displayed jeep

Another TIger resting on top of the displayed jeep

This must be either too lazy or been tranqualized by the care taker

Another one see drinking water...

Honey bears

The beautiful white spot deers

There are many of them,more than you can see in the State Zoo

That ended our Safari trip,though was brief but the animals were lively and attractive. After the Safari, we went to the chicken farm. What? I wondered why chicken also worth displayed then…But, you will think differently after seeing this farm:

The Chicken Farm that you should not miss....

Over 80 species of chicken from overseas are displayed here; they are Phoenix – which has 8-feet-long tail, Brahma – A tame partner, Turkens – A productive poultry, Blue Cochins – Blue fairy, Amherst Pheasant – Cold-resistant hero and many more.

Buff Brahma, see its feet with the bosom furs

Turkens

Blue Cochin --i like it furs colour,shiny and colourful

It's fantastically beautiful

This breed's furs is snowy white-beautiful but face is terribly scary

Amherst Pheasant--the most beautiful of all chickens

All kinds of eggs are on display too

Have you seen this Black color egg before?

If you know which animal’s egg this is, do reply me….Now you should know there are many more types of chicken that you haven’t seen before…Don’t only know how to eat chicken, try to know their extensive family species too.

By the way, the owner of A’ Famosa is Leong Hup, a company involved in big scaled chicken farming & poultry businesses thus they are able to showcase these great varieties of their main product portfolio.

After the chicken farm, we adjourned to the The Walk-Through Area,which is beautifully landscaped and makes for a pleasant walk pass spacious enclosures which house more than 20 types of animals including Greater Flamingos, Black Swans, North American Raccoons, miniature ponies and the indigenous Malayan Tapir.
