Tons of Elephants! - We did the afternoon safari with Bhashitha as our guide and it was an amazing day! He was super knowledgeable and took us to all of the good spots to see elephants, of which we saw at least 50! I would highly recommend this safari to anyone who wants to get close to a lot of elephants.

Great safari - We had a great time on our safari. From the hotel pick-up, the three and a half hour safari with great tips and information from our guide to the return transport including a small surprise, everything was really perfect!

Wonderful day with friendly service - Great alternative safari near Sigirya if you don’t have time to go Yala or Udawalawe. The driver made the trip very personal by telling us about the animals during stops (even knew the names of some of the large ones). He also gave plenty of time to take photos and clearly knew which route is the best to take to get close to the elephants. It was a crowded day with lots of traffic (other tourist off-jeeps) but still he made it go smoothly.

Minneriya safari - We hire the safari thanks to the recommendations of our hotel. It was a great hit! We saw many elephants and the driver Bhashitha, (and Supun as co-pilot), showed respect for the animals at all times and provided explanations about them. A very nice afternoon!!

Best Safari- must di - Bhashitha Was fantstic from start to finish. He was super informative about elephants and always managed to get us the best vantage point for every single elephant gathering we came across. He also pointed out countless many other animals and is very knowledgeable. He was very respectful of the pace he conducted the tour in and always checked with us if we are ready to move on. Also, the company was so accommodating and arranged for a last minute change in schedule. This safari was the highlight of my 10 days in Sri Lanka. We went to Yala as well and this was far superior.

Dozens of elephants - This half-day safari was a excellent experience and highly recommended. We went to Minneriya on a sunny afternoon and saw lots of elephants. I counted over 30. The guide/driver was friendly and bought us some snacks and water on the way to the safari. He happily answered questions we had and also helped us spot some other animals in the area as well, even a crocodile. Pick-up and drop-off from Dambulla went smooth as well. Would recommend to everyone interested. Remember to pack sunscreen and a hat if you are from a different climate.

Wonderful Experience - Wonderful experience. We spent an amazing morning and we were lucky enough to see so many elephants. Impeccable service with pick up directly at the property where you are staying and subsequent return. 3 hours of intense Safaris in search of elephants and discovering enchanting places. Special mention to our Bhashita Guide who was really the icing on the cake. He told us and showed us many secrets of the nature of this wonderful country that we will carry forever with us.
