All Sigiriya Tours & Excursions in 2026

Excellent tour and very very knowledgeable about the national park. Not only did we come up excitingly close to elephants there were a lot of other amazing wildlife pointed out to us too. Our guide was considerate to the environment and the animals. There was no chasing or hunting out the animals. They either came or they didn't. Lucky for us they did. Our guide was lovely and friendly with excellent knowledge and professionalism shown throughout the trip. We were very happy with Sinhigari tours and would recommend them especially this driver. We did start 40 mins late as pick up was delayed but the rest of the tour soon made up for that.

The cooking class with Sajee and his wife Suzy was a really special experience, we really enjoyed it so so much and learned so much. Very memorable. We got to make coconut milk ourselves and 7 different Curries and all of them were great. We really liked that all but one were vegetarian. Sajee is very friendly, provides a lot of useful information and makes it a really unique experience. When we needed help booking a car to get back to the hotel he was also very kind to help us.

I was staying in Sigiriya and booked for a 3pm safari on my own. Booking process was easy and I was contacted by WhatsApp to advise me that Minneriya was flooded at the moment, so they recommended visiting Kaudulla instead, which I agreed to. My driver was Kurama, he picked me up and as we drove out we actually came across a group of elephants crossing the road, so pulled over to observe them up close, which was pretty lucky. Once we got to the park and started the actual safari, Kurama demonstrated his eagle eyes, spotting a Brown Fish Owl sitting patiently overlooking the river. Throughout the safari we saw monkeys, crocodiles, peacocks, lots of jackals, green bee eaters, pelicans, cormorants and many other birds. On to the main event though; elephants! We saw probably 40 elephants, including several close up encounters, most notably with a playful baby elephant. Kurama was knowledgeable and told me about each animal as we came across them, but more importantly he was respectful towards the elephants, ensuring we never encroached upon their space or caused them undue stress. I had a great time on my safari and would recommend it to anyone.
