Awesome elephant safari - The excitement started building up even before we actually started the safari because on our way to the national park, we saw at least 3 wild elephants casually walking along side the road . At the park, we saw several herds of elephants , some chameleons, a turtle and a peacock . The driver and the guide knew where to take us and we were fortunate to see so many elephants up close . Wonderful experience and highly recommended

Excellent - Excellent day with our great guide to Sudath Safari. Respect for animals is clearly a priority and his keen eye has allowed us to discover a good number of elephants in Eco Park. Finally, he often chooses routes that avoid other jeep, which makes the experience more intimate. Thanks again!

great safari - It's been a blast, the cool guide. My sister recommended it to me that it was a week before us and the truth is that a 10. We've seen a lot of elephants, explained how they behave, made us feel safe at all times. He picked us up and took us to the meeting point, which we agreed to. I recommend it!!!!!!

Fantastic tour - Sudath was a great guide, listened to our wishes (we didn’t like it when the other jeeps crowded the elephants and asked not to be in that environment for the welfare of the animals) and saw lots of elephants in their natural habitat. Sudath also took us to a viewpoint and pointed out lots of birds too. He was very attentive and professional. Thank you for a great experience!

Great experience! - This trip was great. Pickup from our accommodation, very good ride. We saw so many elephants, different families. We spot also another animals (turtle, peacocks, birds, chameleon). The guide always showed us all of them right when he spotted them. We had a little rain but it also gave the whole trip a mysterious feeling. It was really amazing to see these beautiful animals in their natural habitat. Highly recommended.
