What are people saying about Sigiriya

Bonnie_J, Oct 2026

Pasindu and his father...

Pasindu and his father were super knowledgeable about local wildlife and fantastic spotters, we saw 3 loris, multiple kingfishers and an array of other critters and birds! Would recommend if you’re up for a hike, however get ready to overheat as long sleeves and pants are a must to avoid being eaten alive by mosquitos!

Safari

An excellent all round experience. This was made even better by our excellent guide, he was so knowledgeable of all of the things we saw on the safari and was really accommodating throughout. We were picked up directly from the hotel right in time, the guide spoke really good English and made the whole experience very good. We saw absorbs of interesting things on the safari such as herds of elepahants very close up, water buffalo, chameleon, deer and monkeys. I would highly recommend this tour and if your lucky you will get the guide we did!

The cooking class with...

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.

Kaudulla afternoon safari with Kurama

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.
