 Verified 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.

 Verified 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)

 Verified 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.

 Verified 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 !

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dieser Nationalpark war der erste auf unserer Sri Lanka Reise und auch die erste Safari die wir gemacht haben. Wir hatten das Glück sehr viel zu erleben, das man vielleicht sonst nicht sieht, wie beispielsweise zwei miteinander spielende Elefanten. Was sehr positiv ist, dass es nicht so überlaufen ist wie in Yale und die Tiere dadurch auch sehr unbeeindruckt von den Fahrzeugen.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ganz ehrlich: viel.Geld gezahlt für wenig - grosse Enttäuschung mein Rat: wählen.Sie einen anderen Park!! Wir haben eine morgen Safari Anfang August gemacht. Die 3 Elefanten, die wir zu sehen bekamen wurden von allen Fahrzeugen umzingelt. Es hat sehr viel Gebüsch,die Elefanten können sich gut verstecken, was sie auch taten..Aber allgemein kam mir der Park sehr leer vor..Kaum Tiere, sogar weniger Affen und Pfauen als man sonst überall in Sri Lankasieht.
