Probably our favorite...

Lauren_L, Jun 2026

Probably our favorite experience in our whole trip in Sri Lanka. We saw wild elephants, peacocks, monkeys, etc. The tour guide was a younger guy - very friendly and accommodating. I read some other tours trick people into going to different parks that have cheaper entrance fees...we followed the exact itinerary as described online and it was perfect. We went around 11am and only saw 1 other vehicle in the one area with lots of elephants but when we were leaving there were a dozen vehicles lined up, so recommend to go early to avoid the crowds.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 😊 We always want to give our guests a memorable and unforgettable safari experience — even better than they expected. I’m really happy you enjoyed the safari and our respectful way of watching elephants. Hope to see you again in Sri Lanka! 🐘🇱🇰
