National Geographic LIVE

Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary, Orang Asli Village & Deerland

Deepavali Holiday - Kids wanted to "chill" but mummy dearest wanted to Visit Malaysia!!!! Well, instead of driving 2 days to Lake Kenyir, (and after many hours of debate), we compromised and went to Kuala Gandah for the day. It's only 1 1/2 hrs from KL and is a great place for animal lovers.

1st Stop : Elephant Sanctuary




Ya, I think the elephants are humping!!!










We got to feed the elephants.

-method 1 -> via the trunk

-method 2 -> hand in the gooey mouth!!! (pretty gross)


We got to "ride" the elephants. It was actually a 2 min "get-on / get-off" experience but if you have never felt the bristles on an elephant, it is quite interesting!!!

Nic was trying to take a picture of us on the elephant.......



He was so focused on us, he forgot the elephant!!!!






There was an elephant bathing activity, but the boys decided that the river didn't look too clean, so we gave it a miss. Typical!!!

2nd Stop : Orang Asli Village


It wasn't very interesting, but is located conveniently just outside the Elephant Sanctuary....... The schoolhouse is pretty cool!!







3rd Stop : Deerland


Very very nice.............. and worth a visit.



A small zoo with a personal guide and a chance to feed all kinds of animals!!!




The kids started off a little scared of the deers but ended up chasing after the poor animals and traumatising BAMBI!!!








I think this bear was trying to check out his "manhood"!!!!














The boys fed the bear honey & milo from their hands...... yummy......
Then we tried to feed him biscuits and he got really mad.............. Urgh!!!!!!!!







Mummy got to play with the python. The guy just ate a huge chicken and we could still see the chicken lump!!






4th Stop : Gold Class
After the hot day out........ the boys wanted a treat so we booked tickets at 1 Utama, Gold Class and were treated like kings @ The Bee Movie.
Mat was so tired that he had to be carried!!!
Mat kept calling the waiter in to order milo..... hehe.
The movie was so-so, but it was fun to have the whole cinema to ourselves.
Tim says that Gold Class in Spore is loads better........ (I don't know, it's always fully booked when I wanna go......)
