Ran seamlessly, worth every penny. - Booked on getyourguide for safari in eco park the evening before and I got a WhatsApp confirming my booking shortly after! They picked us up from our accomodation on time and were friendly and informative throughout the safari!! We saw lots of elephants and then they dropped us off at our accomodation after the safari! All ran seamlessly! And much cheaper than we were being quoted when asking people around the area!! Thanks

Great experience! - The landscapes are beautiful! We saw a lot of elephants. The guide was very friendly and was able to answer all our questions. That is undoubtedly the reservation to be made. Tip: in the morning it is all the more beautiful!

Great!!! - We booked the safari only the night before and were contacted immediately afterwards to clarify everything organizational. So we were picked up, for a fair extra charge, on the morning of the safari directly at our hotel. Our tour guide Mayura was also top and chose the best spots and responded to our wishes. Approx. 5 minutes after entering the park, we have already seen the first elephants from a distance. After that, we didn't see any for some time, but during that time we could see water buffalo, peacocks and other birds. Later we could see some herds up close, about 2-3 m. Also a bull elephant with tusks. All in all a really great safari.

Nadeesha is a great guide - Our safari was incredible. We had Nadeesha as a guide and found he was great at reading the elephants, often going away from the crowds and we had many secluded moments with just our jeep and the elephants. We also went at 3:30pm which helped to increase chances of seeing elephants as we were advised they sleep during the morning & afternoon can be better. Would definitely recommend Huluru eco safari and Nadeesha an incredible guide!

If You Want to See Wild Sri Lankan Elephants - We chose the Hurulu Ecopark safari with pickup at Sigiriya. The driver came on time, gave us all a chilled water bottle, took care of the tickets, and drove us around the reserve. It was slow going at first, but eventually we were able to see wild elephants. Our driver did his best to explain to us a bit about Elephants with his limited English, we appreciated his effort. We tried to get a Naturalist for the booking, but getting one depends on availability. We're grateful to have seen so many elephants, including a super close up of a baby when we were driving back to our hotel. Just know it can get really hot, so bring sunscreen, a hat, sun glasses, and wear comfortable clothes. The vehicle we were in was modern and clean.

Great Eco park experience - We really enjoyed seeing groups of elephants in the park. We also saw a few birds. I believe there are other wild animals but we didn't see them. We had plenty of room (6 adults) to stand up and look out of the roof.

Very nice way to spend an afternoon in Sigiriya - Positive: - The park is very beautiful. Mostly jungle and bush. - The whole staff was very friendly. - The jeeps are in pretty good shape and a good way to ride around the park and take pictures. - Very fair price in my opinion. - After booking the Safari, i was contacted via WhatsApp. I could normally talk to this person and clarify any details regarding pick up, start-time etc. Negative: - Guide was completely unable to speak english, would have been nice to have someone tell just a couple facts or something about the park and the animals. - Have to buy ticket AND pay for the safari. None is included in the other. - Time promised was 3h, in reality it was more like 2 hours.
