Delighted to finally see elephants before having to head home - As advised by guide, we went Hurulu Eco Park as the best place to see the elephants at this time. We were not disappointed. Also saw water buffalo and a variety of bird life. I recommend taking binoculars to make the most of the trip. Sorry to not see Minneriya- will just need to come back!! Bhashitha was a friendly, knowledgeable guide. Thank you

Best Safari Ever - The whole experience was amazing. Saw plenty of animals and were able to see elephants less than 6 feet away. Padeep was a great guy and a really good driver, I wouldn’t have changed a thing!

So many elephants! - We had a great safari and saw lots of elephants up close. The elephants seemed very relaxed and not bothered by the jeep at all. We booked direct with the company though WhatsApp and communication was great. We were picked up from our hotel at 12.30pm and drove to Huluru where we were told most of the elephants are at this time. Once we got to the park, our driver removed the jeep canopy so we could stand up, and he told us lots of facts about the elephants. We also saw water buffalo, hornbills, peacocks and bee-eaters. The day finished with time at a lookout where we could see dozens of elephants grazing. All in all, a very special day.

Great experience! - We had a great experience with our driver Pradeep! He is experienced with the jeep and will take you safely through all roads and weather conditions. He is up to date with the locations of the elephants and we have seen many of them. Not a standard experience, he really makes it something special. Recommended!

Great afternoon in the Eco Park - We went to Hurulu Eco Park rather than Minneriya, as we were told that’s where the elephants had moved to (our hotel had also told us this). Saw lots of elephants including quite a few baby elephants, which was lovely. Great guide, also stopped for us to walk up to a rocky viewpoint in the park, and did another stop for a coconut drink. A great afternoon, thank you.

Yeah, good! - We had our very first safari with Bashi in Hurulu Park. It was really perfect, we saw a lot of elephants and a few birds. Bashi was very friendly and explained a lot about animals. I really recommend! 🤩

Great trip to see elephants - Great trip! The tour company was very nice and helpful and took great care of us. They even changed the vehicle when they noticed that people were having issues with getting into the high clearance jeep. Lots of elephants!

Amazing trip to see elephants in the wild - Excellent trip with very knowledgeable driver. We changed national parks in the morning thanks to the recommendation of the guide and it paid off. We saw 20-30 elephants during the day it was amazing.

Beautiful safari experience - We were advised to go to the Hurulu Ecopark instead because more elephants had moved there due to the high water in Minnereya park and we weren’t disappointed! The park is beautiful and we saw many elephants. We were especially lucky that we got to witness a whole family bathe in the river and play with their babies, an unforgettable memory! Thanks for a great safari.
