Amazing experience! - Amazing time, we saw a lot of elephants and baby elepahnts as well! Definitely recommend it! We also stopped so we can take a walk and saw the place from a hill. The driver was super attentive as well and explained to us about the park and animals! Is better to go on a safari than to go to the Pinnawala elephant orphanage, dont support places like this because they chain the elephants to give them a bath and it is definitely a place that they care about money and tourist taking pics with animals. It is better to go to a safari and see the animals in the wild.

Amazing safari experience with great service - We had a wonderful time! Kumar was the best guide we couldve asked for!! He was so funny and made the tour even more enjoyable. We are very happy with the experience and service :) Kumar picked us up from the designated pick up point and gave us cold water and binoculars to enjoy the safari ride. He explained cool facts about all the animals we saw and also expertly drove us through the bumpy terrain. He also was in our opinion the best driver and more experienced because he always went to good spots that the elephants would come to instead of where everyone else was going. We would highly reccomend as the team as well helped us book the tour very efficiently and accommodated our late timings as well. 10/10 would reccomend

Amazing Elephant Safari on Christmas Day - Had the most amazing elephant safari, our guide was such a good driver! He advised going from 3 onwards as that was when elephants were most active looking for food & water and was not wrong. We saw so many elephants up close and our driver was excellent, especially at getting past crowded parts of the park to make sure we got plenty of space & chances to see the elephants up close.

Great experience - Amazing safari experience. We were with children 4 and 8 years old. We have seen many wild elephants even few meters from us. Our guide told us about herbs and medical traditions of Sri Lanka. Long tour with sunset view on jungle. I recomand it to everyone.

Best Safari in Habarana - I cannot recommend this Safari tour enough. We were collected from our hotel on time by an extremely friendly guide. As part of the cost of the tour, we were first taken to a local traditional village, where the kindest locals showed us how to cook Sri Lankan food the old way. It was such a beautiful experience - and the food was delicious! We then went to Huluru Eco Park and had a truly magical safari experience. We were worried that all the jeeps would crowd the wildlife, but our guide took us on the quieter tracks and at some points we witnessed wild elephants with no one else around - so special! We also saw some gorgeous birds and other animals like chameleons. We only paid $55 for all of this, but the experience was worth so much more. Thank you!

:) - Tour was changed to Hurulu for better experience due to elephants location. Great tour organisation and safari where we were able to see many elephants!! Top service from Kumara our driver reaching all corners to provide best insights, but always with full respect to the elephants.
