Nice experience for Sigiriya rock and Safari in Minneruya - Driver Dilum has good experience for guiding Safari tour. We found a lot of elephants in close distance and others like buffalos, eagles, chameleons, some kinds of birds etc.

Great day! - Great experience. The climb with a guide was very nice. And the National Park with jeep and driver was a fantastic experience. To see the elephants in the wild is really beautiful.

Safari at Kaudulla with Kumara - Kumara took good care of us. He is a good driver and provided relevant informations regarding elephant behaviour and the wildlife. We had the chance to see the bath of an elephant family during the 3 hours safari !

Kaudulla National Park Safari - Our safari experience with Minneriya Wild Tours was amazing and a huge part of that was thanks to our incredible driver and guide Tharidu. Originally we planned to visit Minneriya National Park but after messaging via WhatsApp we were given honest and helpful advice about where the elephants were currently gathering. Based on this local knowledge we decided to go to Kaudulla instead and it was definitely the right call. From the moment we were picked up Tharidu made us feel welcome and excited for the trip. His knowledge of the park and the animals added so much more to the experience. What set this tour apart was how respectful and responsible Tharidu was around the wildlife. He never rushed, always kept a respectful distance and gave us plenty of time to observe and take photos without disturbing the animals. If you’re planning a safari in the area then look no further than Minneriya Wild Tours and ask for Tharidu. Highly recommended!

Perfect day tour in Sigiriya’ - We had a car driver pick us up in Negombo airport hotel and changed the vehicle once we arrived in Dambulla. The jeep driver took us to an amazing Sri Lankan restaurant and the food was amazing with just 2200LKR. But what was more impressive was the Safari! The driver took us to Hurulu Eco Park which he told us that there are more Elephants than other Safaris. We got to see many elephants in a close distance, thanks to the drivers skill and experience! He even let us see a big family with babies! Thanks for a great day in Sigiriya!

Great day - We had a great day with Minneriya Safari Taxi team. The driver was on time and upon learning that we didn't want ro climb the rock, he arranged the tickets to the Sigriya museum (6 USD). With ample time remaining, we went early to the national park and it turned out to be a great move (we were ahead of dozens of vehicles and could observe the elephants at our leisure). We came back to our accommodation dusty but with grins on our faces. There is only one tiny comment: it would be good if the company would provide some water (we didn't have enough for a dusty drive in the park)
