Great safari tour at the Hurulu Eco Park - An amazing experience visiting the Hurulu Eco Park. Everything was perfect and the driver went over and beyond to make us feel comfortable and finding the best spots to observe the wild life and taking great pictures. A company I would greatly recommend

Amazing adventure - We had such a great adventure with Sanju our driver. He had a great ability to find the elephants so we had an up close encounter of them in the wild. He was very knowledgeable and respectful. He found a spot and they slowly moved towards us. We loved helping another 4 WD vehicle that got stuck out of the mud…All part of the adventure. We highly recommend this safari. Excellent value!

Great time with a super nice guide/driver - We had a lot of thanks to our driver. Also we got really lucky because there were elephants right at the beginning of the park. It was quite busy so the ratio jeeps to the elephants felt a bit off. Our guide told us that it’s way less crowded in the morning. And we did feel a bit bad for the animals. We were very happy that he avoided the big crowds and tried alternative routes to help us spot some animals. We managed to spot quite a few birds as well and he took off the top cover of the jeep so we could stand which also made the whole trip a fun ride. Right as we left the park there were elephants along the roads and he stopped so we could watch from a safe distance each time. So we managed to spot a lot of elephants. He helped us with a quick stop and dropped us off at a restaurant we requested. But not before he got us a coconut.

Great! - I think this experience is really good - you would see lots of elephants in it's natural habitat. Our diver was really good at spotting them and making sure we had a best view of them.

Lots of elephants in Hurulu Eco Park, that was very nice. Too bad our driver was more interested in his phone than in se - Lots of elephants, also very close, that was great. The driver, however, was only interested in his phone. Any information for the guests?

Not the best driver/guide. - Way too many jeeps. Our driver spent the whole time on his phone. Didn’t get up close to any elephants.. at one time I think there were more than 20 jeeps. May be saw 10 elephants in the park. I wouldn’t recommend doing this activity. We may have had bad luck.. but our driver was way more interested about his phone than us. He didn’t tell us anything about the animals at all. Zero!
