RFI: Tapir at Taman Negara, other wildlife Peninsular Malaysia
Hello,
I will be in Peninsular Malaysia in the second half of June.
Any information about recent presence / absence of tapirs at Kumbang hide in Taman Negara? Any practicalities of getting there, permission, avoiding noisy crowds etc.?
Any other current info of more interesting wildlife in the region of Kuala Lumpur, Kuala Selangor, Taman Negara, Fraser’s Hill?
best,
Jurek

There’s no way of avoiding noisy people. When I was last there I basically told them to come in from their party under the hide and be quiet. One of the guides tried to argue that they never came until late. They weren’t happy but having tried several times over 25 years I wasn’t in the mood for discussion. A tapir came shortly afterwards; I passed my binoculars around and we all parted friends in the morning. We saw two later.
