From Kuala Lumpur: Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary Day Trip

1.Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 64 reviews · 8 hours · from $57Our pick

Visit Batu Caves, Deerland Park, and Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary on an 8-hour wildlife day trip from Kuala Lumpur.

“Compared to the elephant sanctuary, Deerland Park is extremely underfunded and needs all the funding it can get to improve, but an enjoyable experience to be so close to these shy creatures. The experience with the elephants was exceptional and well worth it. The guides at the elephant sanctuary are so passionate about the role that they play in rehabilitating these magnificent animals.”
