Afternoon safari at Minneriya NP - Great afternoon safari at Minneriya NP. I've seen plenty of elephants throughout the tour (definitely more than 100), as well as some other animals. The car was comfortable and clean, and the whole process was smooth. I want to give kudos to Travceylon for its flexibility, and transparency regarding where and when to expect the most elephants in the area.

An amazing way to see elephants in the wild. - An amazing experience! We saw so many beautiful elephants roaming free in the nature park. They even walked past our car a couple times so we got to see them right up close. Our guide Asela was incredible too who knew all the best places to see the elephants and taught us a lot about them and the other animals that live there. Highly recommended.

Kaudulla National park safari: watching elephants, eagles, birds, crocodiles. Great day. Good guide, good jeep - It was a amazing day. Im recommending it. We saw about 150-200 elephants, crocodile, eagles, pelikan. And we can find enough time to take picture and videos

Nice experience!! - Nice experience! Good communication beforehand about the best park to visit this period of the year. We had a great time! Thank you!

Great place - Coffee House was a lovely first base for our family. The room was very clean & spacious. The staff were friendly and helpful & it was good value for money. My children enjoyed the pool.

Unforgettable adventure. - Car broke down 10 mins into the trip. We had to wait in the heat at the side of the road for nearly an hour. However we had a great adventure and we saw hundreds of Elephants. So in all, bad unfortunate start but a great trip. 👍

Making our wishes for the day a priority! - The driver/guide was very good, respected the animals but still made it possible for us to se as many animals as possible in the best spots!! He also gave us interesting facts about the elephants at the park!
