Stop At: Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary, 28500 Malaysia

Kuala Gandah Elephant conservation was established in 1989 by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks. The center is a base for the Elephant Relocation Team, which began the elephant translocation programme in 1974. The only one of its kind in Malaysia, the team is dedicated to locating, subduing and then translocating problem elephants from areas where their habitats are constantly being encroached by plantations and to other suitable habitats throughout the Peninsular such as Taman Negara. Over the past 25 yrs the centre has helped prevent the further declined of the elephant population by relocating more than 300 wild elephants.

Meet one of the most majestic animals in the world — the mighty elephant — in a conservation area dedicated specifically to them. Established all the way back in 1989 by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks, the Elephant Sanctuary is a great place to see how elephants live and interact in a natural environment. You will also get to learn about the sanctuary's efforts to relocate the elephants whose habitats have been threatened and discover the challenges facing the friendly giants in today's rapidly developing world.
