Our Elephant Sanctuary Tour takes you on an interesting 8-hour tour through Malaysia's biodiversity. Our tour to Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary promises encounters with gorgeous elephants and a mix of wildlife adventure by providing a rare opportunity to engage with majestic Asian elephants while also contributing to their conservation efforts.
The tour, which departs promptly at 9:00 a.m. from your hotel lobby in Kuala Lumpur, takes a 30-minute drive to head to the first stop of the tour, Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary, which takes an hour and an half-long drive. As we go to the Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary, our driver-guide explains Malaysia's diverse biodiversity and the necessity of elephant conservation. Enjoy the picturesque trip through lush countryside and traditional villages.
When you arrive at the sanctuary, you are welcomed with the sight of gentle giants grazing freely in their natural habitat. Learn about the sanctuary's mission of rehabilitating and protecting orphaned and injured elephants.
Step into the world of elephants and serve them their favorite snacks under the supervision of experienced caregivers. During these sessions, visitors are given baskets of fruits and vegetables and instructed on how to properly feed the elephants. Visitors come up close to the elephants and feed them bananas, pineapples, sugarcane, or watermelons. They may witness elephant activities up close, such as how dexterously they use their trunks to acquire food.
Learn more about elephant conservation with an entertaining documentary that highlights the sanctuary's work to protect these wonderful creatures. Visitors can learn about elephant populations' concerns, such as habitat degradation and human-elephant conflicts, as well as conservation measures to safeguard them.
Moving on, you will also get the opportunity to explore Deerland, a neighbouring nature area with several deer species and other exotic animals. Wander through lush foliage and get up close to these exquisite animals, learning about their homes and activities.
As the day comes to a close, you’ll get back into your designated vehicle as we head for an hour-long drive back to your hotel in Kuala Lumpur for your drop off.
