EXCELLENT Based on 318 reviews Posted on deanVerified Amazing Safari with Ranga! Great driver, great service and cheap. We saw many animals, he knew exactly where to take us.Contact him here 0779931195Posted on dervishVerified For safari Good hotel breakfast. Good staff good people. And very clean room.everything is best here. I ADVICE PEOPLE TO STAY HEREPosted on RKimNYCVerified Safari with Lahiru was Great! I don't even quite remember how I found out about Lahiru (somewhere on Trip Advisor), but I'm so glad we did. I contacted him via WhatsApp literally two days before our safari, and he was immediately responsive and available. Our driver (for the 9-day itinerary -- not Lahiru) was a bit nervous about us using a guide he was not familiar with, but after a quick phone conversation, Lahiru put our driver/guide's mind at ease. Lahiru met us early in the morning and brought us a box breakfast and water. The safari was just my husband and I, which was wonderful. We were able to spend time on the animals of interest, and forego animals that were of less interest to us. He extended our safari by an hour so we could see more elephants (we had seen only a handful prior to the extended hour), and courteously called our driver/guide to ask "permission" to take us for the additional hour. Everything about the safari was professional and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend Lahiru for safari.Posted on Natalka BahriiVerified The animals are happy here ! Great place ❤️The animals do not live in cages there. They walk in the park, give birth to children and feel free beings. We rented a car for 6 persons, and each of us payed $23 for safari (15$ for entrance ticket, 8$ for the Jeep)Posted on kriftelandyVerified Tolle Safari Tour mit vielen Elefanten Die Safari kann man sehr empfehlen, neben Wasserbüffeln, Elefanten und Leoparden gibt es Rehe, Pfauen und unzählige Vögel zu sehen, darunter Bienenfresser und Adler.Posted on DonnaS302444Verified An Amazing Experience! This was the absolute highlight of our holiday in Sri Lanka. Our guide spoke very good English and he was so knowledgeable and passionate about the Park, in particular the elephants. We were fortunate to see many elephants both adults and babies in the wild, a variety of beautiful bird life and crocodiles. I would highly recommend this Park to anyone interested in seeing nature at its best.Posted on john dVerified Top ! Vrienden van ons hadden bad luck want ze zagen amper een paar olifanten. Wij hadden wel geluk en kregen wat wij wilden : vele olifanten, van ver, van dicht, al badend, met kleintjes enz.... Het parcours door het park is mooi en de jeep moet zijn werk doen door de vele putten. Onze driver was rustig en stopte frequent en vroeg erna of het goed was om door te rijden of dat je nog even wou kijken. Een fijne natuurervaring !Posted on Julian KVerified Wer Elefanten sehen will ist hier genau richtig Elefanten wohin das Auge reicht, wir haben am ersten Tag sehr viele gesehen. Sowohl alleine als auch in der Herde.Weitere Tiere wie Vögle und Adler sind auch zu sehen. Bei ein bis zwei Tagen Safari sollte jeder auf seine Kosten kommen! Ein Guide wird nicht benötigt!
