Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary (National Elephant Conservation Centre) Tours and Tickets

A fantastic trip visiting the Batu Caves and Elephant Sanctuary. Our driver collected us from our hotel and took us straight to the caves. There we were given 1.5hours to explore and take photos which was plenty of time. Then we headed to the Elephant Sanctuary which is a long drive but totally worth it. We paid an extra 70MR to upgrade our package to have a private tour which our driver helped us to sort. This meant we could feed and wash the elephants away from the crowds providing lots of brilliant photo opportunities. Our guide at the sanctuary Kamil was fantastic and provided us with so much information about the elephants. We paid extra for food to feed the elephants but it was a small cost for the experience it provided. Would thoroughly recommend this day to anyone who wants to experience a bit of culture followed by an amazing wildlife encounter!

Had a fantastic overall experience. Our guide Nivan did a great job of providing information, answering our questions and making the tour a good time. Highly recommend this tour

The Guide at the Sanktuary we Hired and Paid for By ourselves. On Fridays no elephant bsthing and only a 10 Minutes elephant Show. The driver Could only speak a Few Words of English.

It was our first time in Malaysia and we were very happy to experience this agency. The day before the journey startet, we got texted one day in advance with details to driver and car. Everything happens as mentioned by the agency, we had no waiting time. Our driver was very kind and had a lot of information about Malaysia and the places we visited. First stop was Batu Caves, then we drove to a shop where handmade silk clothes were sold. Even though it was a shop, I did not feel any pressure to buy something here. People were very kind and showed us their craft of coloring the silk clothes. Afterwards we headed to the elephant orphanage, we’re he organized the access to the areal. He even managed to locate us around the other tourists at the elephant orphanage so that we had a little time without other people at the elephants. Normally the tour would have ended here, but we asked him, if it was possible to go for some fireflies and blue tears. This wasn’t a problem. He called his agents and made a very fair price for the extended tour. After enjoying some local food with the driver, we went to the boat station for the fireflies and blue tears. And here I definitely have to mention, that he really cared about us: He spoke with the salesman from the boat rental who organize the tour to see the blue lights. After that he recommended us not to book the tour, since there would be only a very slight chance to see the blue lights and we therefor may “loose” that money. Thankfully he told us so and we only made the fireflies tour. All in all we spent the day from 10 am to 10pm together. It was never boring, we had always nice chats together and the feeling, that here is someone who really cares about his customers and tries to make everything possible at fair prices. The only thing we have to get used to is the Malaysian style of driving - but that is another story.

Great trip to see the batu caves and elephants. Both places would be difficult to visit if travelled on your own and the help of the guide makes it much easier. You spend upto 1 hour at the caves and then head to the jungle and the elephant sanctuary. Feeding and touching the elephants whilst watching them in their natural habitat is amazing to see. Definitely recommend this trip! Our tour guide gave lots of information during the drive too which we wouldn't get if travelled on our own.

This trip made seeing both of these places easy and it was a great time. The driver communicated with us through WhatsApp to coordinate the pickup time from where we were staying. He arrived in a van and it was just the two of us in our party which was great. The driver was very nice and friendly, and showed up on time. This trip includes the entry fees to both places and the tolls along the way. We even had some extra time at the end of the day and our driver stopped by another place for us to visit on the way back to drop us off. This trip was great, would recommend!

Only had a couple of days in KL and the tour guide and operator, Iliyas was so accomodating of our needs. He went above and beyond. Always very respectful and flexible to the time we had available. He was so good that we booked him for additional tours! In 5 days we had an awesome experience of KL attractions
