Adventure Elephant Safari - Nice experience, spotted many elephants in their natural environment, some families with really adorable young cubs. Experienced driver who managed to extricate himself from difficult situations created by mud. Definitely to recommend leaving in the early morning to avoid finding yourself with too many jeeps around

Nice adventure - Our tourguide Sarath was very nice, showed and explained us everything. He even bought a watermelon for us on the way home. And we saw lots of elephants :)

Sarath the best guide - Sarath has been really good and patient. We started the tour quite late and it was raining. For the first hour we didn’t see much. However, after a while we spotted dozens of elephants. In groups. Sarath made sure to give me insights on the behaviour of these groups explaining the age of the babies and how the males don’t join groups. He also took me back to the hotel. I highly recommend this guided tour. And even if the main park is closed, they’ll find alternatives for you to enjoy the experience to the fullest.

Nice jeep safari with Sarath our driver. - Our driver Sarath is very experienced and brought us every time in a perfect position to spot the elephants. This was not so easy, because there where some other cars.

Hurulu morning safari - My guide Sarath was informative and tried his best to get me close to all the encounters we had with elephants, he was happy to take my picture as I was alone on safari. We went to Hurulu park instead due to the season
