Such an amazing experience. Just a few minor things to be aware of. - Since the weather wasn't the best to go to Minneriya we went to Hurulu Eco Park instead. The tour guide, Kasun, was very knowledgeable and took us to many great places in the park. He taught us so much about wild elephants, it was great! We saw a lot of elephants too, so close to the vehicle. It was such an amazing experience. I would highly recommend it. Kasun was a great tour guide as well. The only thing to be aware of would be the price to enter the park. We found out after the tour that we were over charged by appx 2000LKR. We also didn't get a receipt after and was told we would get one. The booking also had snacks after the tour (we booked the 1.30 pm tour) but because there was potential rain the manager asked if we would like to go early, and we did. But then we lost the snack after the tour, which should have been communicated at the time when they requested us to do the tour sooner. All in all the tour was so memorable and was an amazing experience. The tour guide Kasun was so good as well! Just be aware of potential scams that could happen. I am a local and I'm surprised that this happened to us!

Great experience! - It was a really wonderful experience! We could see many groups of elephant sometimes very close. The view of the national park is beautiful and the jeep riding itself is a fun attraction. They provide a competitive price. Highly recomend!

I can see a lot of elephants and enjoy the Jeep! - We had a great time meeting a lot of wild elephants and the feeling of riding a Jeep was like an attraction! We also changed the pickup location from the hotel to Sigiriya Rock car park last minute, but they were resourceful!

Great experience with professional company. - The safari experience was great! We saw many elephants in their natural habitat and they seemed not to be worried about our presence. Our driver was very thoughtful and friendly allowing us to enjoy the time in the park without hurry. We also saw birds, lizards and a fox. The transport in the jeep was very comfortable and the complimentary bottle of water was a nice addition to the experience. Thank you

The best! Excellent choice we made - We chose this one just by looking on the internet and we are proud to say we were very lucky!!! We had the best trip, with the best driver and excellent guide! We have the best time in the park, we get to see the elephants way before the others.... The guide have a quick eye for some animals that we wouldn't see.... Just perfect 👌

Best safari ever! - The Guide picked us up at our accommodation, which was extremely nice. Immediately checked if we had enough water and sunscreen etc with us, which was great! Then drove to the park and enjoyed all the elephants enormously. What struck us most was the passion the Guide has for the animals, and that he went his own way in the park. That allowed us to take the best photos and videos, because only later the rest of the jeeps came our way. Apart from elephants we also saw a lot of other animals and along the way it was cozy and relaxed with the Guide. A perfect afternoon!!

Minneriya - Hurulu Eco Park Safari - Good Safari Overall..could not be better..taking point away only due to less time in the Jungle area..started at 1230pm ended at 230pm.. There was perfect coordination even though we booked it a day before..it was a rainy day so they shifted the safari timings from 230pm to 12pm..due to rains the elephants move from Minneriya area to Hebbarana area..so they changed it to Hurulu eco park..wise call taken by the organisers..now onto the safari itself.. Mayura was the jeep driver cum driver..should call him photo expert Mayura..perfect guide for people who want to create social media reels or stories..clicked good pics..we saw few elephants and peacocks and birds..no leopard sighted..overall good safari and would recommend it to others.

Exciting Safari - The Safari was exciting, we saw many elephants and also other animals. We went late in the morning and were the only ones in the park, on our return we saw many people enter so Recommendation to go in the morning. Experience recommended.
