Elephant Spotting - Great experience; the company discussed moving our trip to Kaudulla, as the elephants had been seen in that park (if they contact you with this advoce after booking, it is worth taking to avoid disappointment); driver arrived on time to collect us, and all told we saw approximately 100-150 elephants, including a number of babies, mainly in three groups plus a few lone males; then on the way home, we were treated to a few more on the side of the road, including a mother and youngster who crossed immediately beside us.

Elephants Galore! - Was an absolutely amazing experience. Also loved that due to weather pattern the tour company reached out and told me I would be better advised visiting another of the national parks. I am glad I listened to them. Saw over 200 elephants and some amazing sights along with other animals. The guides were really nice and very knowledgeable.

So many elephants!! - We had a great time with the jeep safari to Minneriya!! Our driver had a great eye for spotting different animals, and he took us to the best spots for elephant sights - we saw around 40 elephants in 3 different herds. He also brought us fresh coconut on the way back, which was the best idea!

We saw so many elephants,... - We saw so many elephants, it was amazing! Driver took us all around Kaudulla, which is a really beautiful park, and also pointed out birds, water buffalo, and eagles to us. He had great eyes! The only reason I deducted a star is because the driver did not know good English, and so this made it hard to ask questions during the tour and get answers.

In the morning I received... - In the morning I received message that due weather conditions, the elephants have moved from Minneriya national park to Hurulu Eco park and Kaudulla national park. And they recommend to change safari location to Hurulu eco park or with extra 4000LKR to Kaudulla national park. I chosed Kaudulla. The driver tried to show everything and be attentive. Just don't imagine that you will see hundreds of elephants. But overall, everything was fine.
