 Nestling
in the Krau Wildlife Reserve, the Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary is managed
by the Malaysian Department of Wildlife and National Parks. The
Center offers visitors a hands-on introduction to the largest mammal
on earth.
Here 'worker elephants are trained to help "guide
and mother' wild elephants during the relocation process to National
Park wildlife sanctuaries. You may enjoy a documentary about the
relocation process and the work of these marvelous elephants and
the humans teamed with them to rescue wild elephants that are
endangered by
being too close to civilization.
Visitors are invited to help
feed and bathe them in the shallow river or ride them. The young
elephants
have sense of humour,
so watch out for a dunking as you try to clamber up their backs!
Open 7 days a week all year, except not open to the public during the
Holy month of Ramadan.
If time
permits, visit the deer park nearby for great fun for the
family. Feed the deer and ostriches and see the rare Asian
Sun Bear.
