A wonderful driver took us safely to the national park from Colombo. He's such a sweet guy and thanks for the long drive! I was lucky enough to see one cub and a family of elephants, which moved me as a family! Drivers in national parks may not even notice creatures in the distance, so stop at the driver when you do! Let's say it out loud. The journey from Colombo to Minnemilia is very long, so be careful about that.
