Malacca Butterfly & Reptiles Sanctuary 29 May 2014

On the second day we woke up early having our breakfast, we went to Melacca Butterfly & Reptiles Sanctuary which is located at Ayer Keroh.

It is not only does the flying of the butterfly brings in thousands of tourist to the Sanctuary, amazingly, the magical  friendship between the butterflies and reptiles in the Sanctuary has also attracted the Lizards, the Amphibians, the Crocodilians, the Mammals, the Birds and last but not least, the Koi in the Koi Garden.

 

Butterfly Aviary

Melaka Butterfly and Reptile Sanctuary is home to more than 20 different species of butterflies, including the Black and White Helen (Papilio nephelus), Malayan Birdwing (Troides), and the Malaysian National Butterfly, the Rajah Brooke’s Birdwing – the butterfly that was named after Sir James Brooke, the Raja(King) of Sarawak. Imagine we were surrounded by hundreds of colourful butterflies where flowers burst with colours and life.

Watching these butterflies dance in the morning sun with water trickling over the garden stones will remind you just how simple and beautiful life can be.

 

Reptiles Walk

The Malacca Butterfly & Reptile Sanctuary are simply the snake lovers. We believe that one will not take long to fall in love with these magnificent creatures. Come along with us and take a closer look on their scales, appreciate their incredible mobility, watch-out for their defensive postures and so on.

These reptiles are indeed full of mystery and completely adorable. Be it boas, pythons, vipers or cobras, we have them all under one roof. Here, our giant Burmese python awaits you! Where SIZE DOES MATTER, amazed by our 20 foot reticulated python of which many associate the species as fearsome man-eaters.

 Koi Garden

There is one place in the Sanctuary where the sound of falling water is ever present, it will be the Koi River Valley. This is the place where everyone has space for a simple and wonderful carps’ experience.

In a land engulfed with a variety of tropical plants holds the ponds and streams free from geometric to blend seamlessly with its surroundings. There, hundreds of colourful carps live in its clear azure water.

Simply laze by the pond and throw yourself into any of the activities of these beautiful fishes allows you to refresh your spirit and totally unwind in this jungle stimulated environment.

 

Souvenir Centre

We ended our visit by visiting the souvenir centre. There are various and plenty of the souvenirs such as beautiful paua shell is carved into a magical shinning butterfly brooch, Baba Nyonya’s traditional costume (the Kebayas), a simple animal pencil topper, wildlife glass, stuffed animals, butterfly and beetle key chains, etc.

It was really having fun here! We do not expect this sanctuary would be almost like the Penang Butterfly Garden which we had visited 4 years ago.

It is really great trip!
