Bathe an Elephant
Good for Kids, Must-Do Experience, Nature & Wildlife, Animal Park
In lush tropical rainforest an hour and a half drive from Kuala Lumpur, the Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary is an ambitious conservation program implemented and managed by the Malaysian Wildlife Society. Visitors to the Sanctuary have the opportunity to come into close contact with resident semi-wild pachyderms.
Activities include feeding the animals fruit and peanuts; bareback rides in which passengers are tipped into the water; and the highlight – bathing with and washing the elephants, including the babies, in a nearby river. All activities are under the watchful eye and careful supervision of skilled trainers.
The staff members at the sanctuary are specially trained wildlife experts, dedicated to the protection and preservation of the Asian elephant. A 30-minute documentary on the conservation activities and programs carried out by the team is shown on site.

LOVED THIS!!! We had an amazing tour guide (his name unfortunately escapes me) not only do you see the elephants and go to deer land you are given a very informative trip and we learnt a lot about rubber too and its production. We also had a very scrum my lunch and this is trip well worth the money!

A memorable experiance, it was a shame that there was significant rainfall the day before and the river was running too high abnd fast to allow entry into the water to swim with the elephants. Our driver was very helpful, friendly and informative, well worth the effort to go.

Our tour guide was amazing, really attentive. There was 2 of us so he customised the day around what we wanted to see. He even took us to the wet markets on the way home because we said we thought they would be interesting. He was considerate (stood in line for us in the hot sun so we could rest) and knew things like we should buy bananas on the way there because elephants love them more than peanuts. Definitely an amazing experience for animal lovers!
