Amazing 4hr tour - Lahiru Prasad was our host on our elephant tour and he managed to take the 6 of us all ranging in age from 14 to 65 on a 4hr tour packed with amazing sights and so many different animals galore. Including many elephants and babies close up!!
He went above and beyond to make sure our experience was as amazing as we’d hoped it would be and he was a fabulous host with plenty of informative facts given out along the tour.
It was fun, exciting and worth the money.
We recommend you book him for sure on 94762726799

Super experience - We did our safari with Lahiru Prasada and it was an amazing experience! We were really lucky, it rained in the morning, so in the afternoon, when we started our tour, many elephants were out. The driver is very experienced and knows exactly how to position the vehicle to observe the elephants up close without disturbing them. We highly recommend this safari!
Lahiru can also arrange a taxi transfer from Mirissa and then drop you off in Ella afterwards, which is very convenient.

An Unforgettable Safari Experience with a Master Guide - We had an incredible safari experience, all thanks to our guide, Lahiru Prasad!
He showed us deer, eagles, bee-eaters, monitor lizards, buffalo—and even elephants! What made it truly special is that no other vehicle spotted the elephants that day, but thanks to his expertise and keen eye, we did. He was knowledgeable, patient, and made the whole experience unforgettable. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting—he truly makes the safari magical!
You can reach him on WhatsApp at +94 71 483 6490.

Great Family experience - Amazing experience that shared for my daughter’s 12th birthday. Our Travel guide Lahriu went out of his way to make this the most memorable day. Amazing wildlife and we were able to get very close to the elephants which was a dream come true for me.

Unforgettable Safari with an Amazing Guide – Highly Recommended! - My wife and I booked a half-day safari in the afternoon, and it turned out to be an absolutely incredible experience.
I had read some very positive reviews about Lahiru Prasad on Tripadvisor and decided to contact him on WhatsApp. The booking was quick and uncomplicated.
Lahiru is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. He has an incredible eye for spotting animals and often pointed out even small creatures that we would have missed. He explained a lot about the different species and shared interesting facts, which made the tour even more enjoyable.
We truly recommend booking a safari with him. You can reach him easily via WhatsApp at +94 76 272 6799. This safari was one of the highlights of our trip to Sri Lanka and we would definitely do it again.
