I don't encourage exhibitions of captive animals however this is different. It is situated at the Bolaven cafe, which uses coffee from sustainable sources. The tiger was brought up in captivity but has a wonderful bond with the employer and employees. She has a big space to roam and is fed often. The cafe supports her diet by donation and buying food and merchandise. Food is so-so, coffee is nice. If you are planning to go for the elephant adventure, go there first. You get free black coffee for two at the bolaven if you show your ticket.

A stressed, pacing tiger is bizarrely in an exhibit pen attached to the side of a small cafe in Langkawi's Oriental Village.

One wall of the enclosure is glass, which separates you and your coffee from a beautiful tiger in a tiny, stressful environment.

This is NOT a centre of education or environmental action - it is a coffee shop. We went in for a coffee and were immediately ushered over to the tiger and asked to pay to take a picture.

We actually refused to stay and asked for our coffee to takeway. Please do the same and support true tiger conservation.

Your chance to see a real Malaysian Tiger! I for one am not really for tigers in captivity but since 'Zanah' the Tigress was born in a zoo, I guess she would not survive in the wild..and the centre is to impart education and awareness about Malaysian Tigers.
It was a sweltering day so we had thirst quenching juices and iced coffee at the Bolaven Cafe while observing Zanah.
