    Wonderful morning safari

    Samantha_M, Aug 2026
    What a perfect morning I had today! I arrived at the park right as it opened, and the sunrise was absolutely breathtaking. My driver was fantastic, making the experience even better. It was such a delight to watch all the elephants enjoying their breakfast after having a nice soak in the lake. The baby elephants were just the cutest, and by the end of the safari, I spotted them all trying to sneak in some cuddles in the shade with their mom. I can’t recommend this tour enough—it was truly unforgettable!

    Had an amazing afternoon on this safari tour! We saw more elephants than I expected, along with seeing monkeys, water buffalo and peacocks. It was such an incredible experience to see these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat. I recommend this tour while visiting the area.

    This is an incredible experience and must do if you are coming to Sri Lanka! Kumara was the best - funny, very informative, and led us to the best spots to see elephants. He also spotted lots of other wildlife which we were not expecting but so pleased by! The ride is bumpy but the experience is so worth it.
