Alpaca Club: Petting Zoo In Sabah That Lets You Chill With Fluffy Alpacas & Enjoy Views Of Mount Kinabalu

Alpaca Club in Kundasang, Sabah


Sabah isn’t just a place to visit if you want to conquer the tallest mountain in Malaysia. It’s also home to a variety of fun-filled attractions set in nature that are every bit as fascinating and don’t require a lengthy hike.

If you’re an animal lover, you’ll want to plan a visit to Sabah to check out this small farm of alpacas – Alpaca Club. Yes, adorable fluffy alpacas. This mini petting zoo in Kundasang, Sabah, is where you can pet, feed and chill with the friendly animals with a serene backdrop of nature and Mount Kinabalu.

Tucked in the hills of Kundasang, Sabah, Alpaca Club welcomes visitors to hang out with their alpacas so you need not travel across the ocean to see these cuddly animals in real life.

Alpacas at this mini petting zoo in Sabah are flown in from Australia. Spot baby alpacas, or cria, and full-grown ones, all with different fleece shades. With their long slim necks, soft tufts and slightly droopy innocent eyes, they look almost like llamas – but are furrier, gentler and just as adorable.

Visitors will be able to get close to the alpacas and learn the names and personalities of each of them. You can even feed them dried grass, give them a good pet, or even a big furry hug.

Photo spots for the ‘Gram


Of course, the main reason of the visit would be to squeal at the cute alpacas. But while you’re there, snap some extra shots for the ‘Gram at photo-worthy spots that have been set up around the place.

While the surrounding scenery is breathtaking enough, a flight of rainbow steps look magnificent against the blue sky and will add a pop of colour to your feed.

There is also a unique bench encircled with twigs, which is meant to resemble a bird’s nest.

And if a few hours of gazing at the mountain views isn’t enough for you, consider spending a few days at the small chalet located inside Alpaca Club. There are two comfortable homestay rooms on the grounds, priced from RM399-RM450 per night. Enjoy prime views of Mount Kinabalu and rolling hills from the balcony, and visit the alpacas whenever you please.
