Kuala Gandah, Pahang

Elephants
Riding on River
Actually
the park ranger (elephant
trainer)
commands the elephant to drop the tourist
into the river.
|
This
centre was established in 1989 by the Department of Wildlife and
National Parks. A base for the Elephant Relocation Team which started in
1974.
Being the only centre in Malaysia, the team is dedicated to locating,
subduing, translucent problem elephants from areas where their habitats
are constantly being encroached by plantations, to Malaysia's National
Parks such as Taman Negara.
Over
the past 25 years the strong team has helped to prevent the further
decline of the elephant population by relocating more than 300 wild
elephants!
Kuala Gandah also aims to promote public awareness of the elephant's
plight in Malaysia and to support research into elephant translocation
and conservation. It also aims to educate the public about the
importance of habitat and environmental preservation.

What
Marty & Anna has to say about Elephant Sanctuary
"This was our first trip to Malaysia and Michael was very friendly, had great local knowledge and the tour exceeded our expectations. Travel was very comfortable in a private, air-conditioned car and we think the tour was great value for money. We highly recommend MM Adventure Services to all and the next time we visit we will be booking in another
tour!"
Marty & Anna, Brisbane Australia
What
Ronald Green has to say about Elephant Sanctuary &
Batu Caves
Just
a short note to follow up on my sons trip with you to Batu
Caves and Kuala Gandah; he was very impressed with the
knowledge and friendliness of the tour guide, thoroughly
enjoyed his company, I will pass your details to anyone who
is going to visit Malaysia. I would not have expected any
less!! (I lived in KL for 3+ years) but still good to see MY
represented so professionally.
