Rare is the opportunity to be in the heart of a country's metropolis and be able to commune with the wild, just 2 hours away. That is the beauty of Kuala Gandah. Our day started with our guide, Sir Francis, as my grandsons called him, picking us up from our hotel for our first stop, the Batu Caves, which will... More

O wonderful day with the elephants at Kuala Gandah - the tour was booked through the hotel and there were 3 of us in the mini van with a wonderful guide called ben who talked about malyasia the whole journey which was wonderful as it gave us all a great insite into the country. Elephants were great but the best... More

We visited today and it was fantastic. It was very quiet so we had a lot more time with the elephants than I can imagine you would on a busy day. The animals seem very happy, no chains and they seem to really like their keepers. You get to hand feed them papaya and sugar cane, I even got to... More

I visited the sanctuary with my husband and 3 year old daughter last month and had an amazing day. We had arranged to go with a guide Zali who has been a volunteer with the sanctuary for over 20 years. Visiting with someone who had such an in depth understanding of the work of the sanctuary and a clear connection... More

My family and I booked this tour through a private driver CK. He was just wonderful! We were picked up promptly at our hotel and driven safely to the Sanctuary. We met our guide who was wonderful and headed off to meet the Elephants. We were able to purchase sugar cane and peanuts to hand feed the Elephants, this was... More

I was hoping for a closer, more personal encounter with the elephants than we got. Our first mistake was going on a Friday as the program was delayed for about 1hr due to prayer time and it seemed disorganised and filling in time. Our visit was part of a tour with Tour East. You leave your hotel at 9am, get... More

The elephant sanctuary was the highlight of a day excursion organised by Asian Trails that included a trip to the Batu Caves and Deerland. You can just snap the elephants, feed then or even help bath the baby ones. Whatever you decide, leave the smart clothes at home. Entry is free but you will pay to get there depending on... More

When we arrived it became quite obvious that it wasn't quite the sanctuary we had expected. There were no roaming elephants and no large paddocks for them. There were elephants in enclosures that weren't too large yet not too confining either. They were the baby elephants (around 5 years) and you could purchase food to feed them and stroke their...

Last Saturday (27/4) my husband and I had the pleasure of being escorted by Razali to Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary. We caught the monorail from Bukit Nanas to Titiwangsa and were to meet Razali at 9.30am. We were half an hour early and he arrived 5 minutes after us! WOW what a day. The thrill of being so close to... More
