A very special day - This was such a special day. We were collected from our hotel by our driver and guide for the day, Faisal. If possible request Faisal, he was so helpful and informative. The Batu caves are wonderful. If you’re fit you can climb the steps, there’s a lot of them! But just wandering around, taking in the sights and watching the monkeys interact with the other visitors is equally fun. Then it was onto the elephant sanctuary. We paid the extra for the guided tour. We were accompanied by Tajuddin Nasharuddin who has followed in his fathers footsteps to work at this sanctuary. He has an intimate knowledge of these magnificent animals and talks with honesty about the challenges of their work with them. We had a simple tasty lunch and then joined the crowds for the finale show where you see the elephants frolicking in the river. Each elephant is allocated a keeper and they have a special bond which is obvious in the river. It’s wonderful to be able to support and encourage the work they do here, very humbling. Please do go! We’d like to say a special thank you to Faisal for making the day so special.

This place is a must for anyone traveling to Malaysia, it will take your breath away..!! - Oh my god, it was amazing!!!! We had two drivers. My car had Ramzam driving I’m so sorry I can’t remember the other drivers name (who was lovely by the way). What a lovely pair of guys. We got stuck in a jam on the highway, I think the time of day and time of year. 23/12/2023. Ramzam was lovely chatting too. Hugely informative and an absolute pleasure to be in the company of..! So the Batu caves were as always very nice. It’s a bit steep if you’re not so good on your legs. This time there was no monkeys but I think it was a special day as there was loads of people there for possibly a celebration or pilgrimage. I saw a few people carrying (milk I think) on their heads in special vessels. It’s an actual temple at the top here, so please be courteous. You have to be covered up to be able to go up the steps to the top. It was amazing to be able to whiteness this. I’m so so very proud to of been able to. Once we had been to the caves we headed on to the elephant sanctuary. We had a chicken rice meal on our arrival then met with our elephant vet/ guide ‘Dee’ who was hugely informative and ever so passionate about her role at the sanctuary. We found out that this place is a hospital for sick or injured elephants where they rescue them from injuries or trouble. Some of the elephants had lost limbs or tails or were injured and scared from tiger attacks or accidents. The keepers who work with the elephants really do their best for them all. They know the personalities of each of them. The trust between the keepers and each elephant was amazing to see. We watched them take the elephants to the river and wash them down. Both keeper and elephant ended up totally soaked but looked very very happy in the environment. We got to feed some of the younger ones who loved taking the sugar cane from you while in their pens. This place literally took my breath away filled with joy and love. It’s been 2 weeks and I’m still buzzing over how awesome this place actually is. Huge thank you to the government for paying for this place, huge thank you to all the staff at the sanctuary who clearly do an amazing job that is clear to see they all love. Plus a massive thank you to the your operators who we booked this. Our drivers took us after to an unofficial stop for my 11 year old son to try durian the fruit. In the end we all tried it, my son and daughters, myself and my wife. I have to say it’s not to my liking but it was another amazing experience doing in this beautiful country. I’ve been to Malaysia probably 15 times now, my favorite place to be in the world! Thank you to everyone who sorted the trip out. 🙏❤️

Beautiful Experience in the Elephant Sanctuary - Great trip with a Great Guide. Thx Ramzan. Chose the full guided tour in the elephant sanctuary to get the best out of it. Such a great experience

We had such a fun day and... - We had such a fun day and the best tour guide, Faizal! He made this tour memorable and was so kind all day. I really enjoyed this tour and would recommend it to anyone visiting Kuala Lumpur!

Great cultural experience! - The experience of meeting, feeding and petting the elephants was magical. Learning about how they are looked after etc was very interesting. Batu Caves was very interesting too. The driver was excellent.

Fabulous day out - Mohd was a great driver he was informative & a great driver.We loved the Elephant sanctuary & paid for a private guide who gave us lots of information we hand fed the elephants & watched them bath.It was an incredible experience & would highly recommend it.

Brilliant - Ramzan was absolutely brilliant and so informative. Good amount of time at each activity and was really good value!

Caves and elephants - Booked this up months in advance not realising it was Malaysia National Day. Pickup as bang on time however traffic was much busier than usual which meant a little rearranging (elephants first then Batu). Elephants were good, paying for the up-close session. Amazing to get so close to these creatures. The sanctuary guide was excellent, loads of info and knowledgable. Kids enjoyed and bring it up nowadays - result! Food was decent and water provided - it was hit but that’s no surprise. Batu caves next and despite time advancing, had an hour to walk around. It was busy but again being National day, not a surprise. Chatting on way back to accommodation we got some good advice on shopping locations - local knowledge! Overall a good trip.

Elephants, monkeys and caves - a great day out. - Brilliant day out! Ramzan, our driver and guide, was exceptional. From pick up at our hotel to drop off, his knowledge and info about Malaysia, Batu Caves and the elephant conservation was brilliant. Nothing was a problem, he even stopped randomly on the way back for us to try Durian - tastes better than it smells! He warned us of the monkey behaviour at Batu Caves - don’t have water bottles or plastic bags in the monkeys sight, you will lose them. The Elephant conservation park was a highlight. We took a behind the scenes educational tour (120MYR) which was amazing. Our elephant tour guide was fabulous. Got to feed and give a neck rub to the elephants. Saw 3 very large elephants have a river bath and got to meet 3 youngster which was wicked. The education around wild elephants and how they help them was exceptional. Note of help: Take cash to the elephant park. No card facilities out there. Thank you so much Ramzan for an amazing day out!

It is not a trip for... - It is not a trip for worth. 1.5 hour one way trip and there are only a few elephants. Guides and driver are good.
