Great safari tour

Published on Apr, 2025

We went in the morning and it was not crowded with jeeps, so that was really good. We were lucky to see lots of eleohants and also coming pretty close without disturbing them.

We booked this for one location and was advised elephants move around parks and was advised to the other park. It was a clearly a good change . I had comuniction with the tour arrangers to explain a date /time/location Mahesh come to collect us . He was a great tour guide. Friendly , welcoming and got us close to elephants in a respectful way to the animals. I would do this again

Memorable experience to see so many elephants.

Published on Apr, 2025

Our tour was to Hurulu Eco Park as that’s where the elephants were at the time. While entrance fee was less than what we paid for Minneriya, we had a full afternoon with plenty of time at the end for sunset overlook. We saw close to 50 elephants at different places, including a 3-day old baby being fully protected by its mother and other females. Our guide worked hard to get us good views and at one point found a spot where we were the only jeep that happened upon a couple elephants and could enjoy watching with only the natural sounds of the animals and birds. All in all, a memorable experience to see so many - from a large, tucked bull to the young new-born.

Amazing safari experience

Published on Apr, 2025

The safari was amzing! Mehesh was a great guide and took us to the best places in the park. We saw lots of elephants and he was also trying to find spots were not too many other jeeps and tourists were. He was also looking out for the best spots to get a good photo and told us a lot about the elephants in the park. In the eveving he drove us to a little hill to see the sunset. Would defintely recommend booking a tour with him!
