Minneriya and Polonnaruwa - Safari Minneriya and Polonnaruwa tour Kumura is the best driver we have ever met during our trip in Sri Lanka. No risk at all while driving and very kind to funny explaining us what we were happening. During the safari we took all the time we needed to take photos and watch elephants and birds. The tour starts in the morning, we headed to Polonnaruwa (staying for 2h30 visiting all the ruins), then lunch in a typical Sri Lanka’s restaurant. In the afternoon 3h30 spent in Minneryia national park where we watched elephants and birds.

We saw at least 100 elephants - Went on a half day tour, got to the lake around 2.30pm. There were so many elephants! We were the first jeep there so we got a really good viewing spot. Twice a herd of elephants walked through the path and came very near to the jeep, and we also saw several more herds in the distance. Good service.

A wonderful experience - A wonderful morning safari in Minneriya national park. We chose to go in the morning as we had read the park would be quieter and there was still a good chance of seeing elephants. We had saw 3 individual male elephants and each time we were the only jeep present so it was a magical and intimate experience. The tour company were great and the driver looked after us well.

Great safari experience ! - Fantastic jeep Safari !!! Kumara was a great guide as he knew exactly where to find the elephants. Even if there were other jeeps around he found them before other drivers and knew when and where to move on before the place got too crowded. We had a great time and got to see many many elephants without feeling the presence of other jeeps. I certainly would recommend Minneriya jeep safari !

Great! - It's a tour to see elephants! In our case we didn't go to Minneriya but to another park, and saw dozens of them in their natural habitat.

Amazing safari - I highly recommend both the Minneriya evening safari and this company! Traveling solo, I wasn't sure I'd make it in time for the evening safari, but they were incredibly responsive and arranged everything at the last minute. Special thanks to our amazing driver, Kumara, who kept us laughing throughout the safari. He was extremely kind, knowledgeable, and respectful of all the wildlife in the park—not just the elephants. And still, we saw 60-70 elephants!

Nice tour - It was realy nice to see different groups of elephants. The only downside is that I am concerned about whether the tour will cause harm to the animals. They seem used to it, but I think sometimes they also feel rushed.

Safari tour - Very good service! Excellent communication and a brilliant tour guide, definitely would recommend. The afternoon safari is recommended as it is cooler for both the safari goers and the Elephants! So it is more likely to find them then.

Thumbs up - Great experience, prompt and efficient. Note that there’s no food provided but I hadn’t read the info properly so my fault. The safari doesn’t include entrances.
