Safari Tour at Minneriya National Park
Description
Bunches of Elephants can be seen in their natural behavior and visitors will be amazed to see hundreds in bunch. You will be transferred by a off-road/ 4WD jeep which is specially designed for outdoor activities like this. Out chauffeurs speak good English and equipped with good local knowledge. You will not regret about the decision after completing the tour. There are two National Parks located within close proximity. They are Minneriya & Kaudulla National Park. Normally the Elephants are switching between two parks during the different months of the year depending on the rain situation and the level of the water of the lakes inside the parks. We will advise the guests about the best location to witness the Elephants on the particular time period and proceed to the relevant park with guest's approval.

Our safari tour of Eco Park was a real highlight. The organization was through Bawantha was smooth and very friendly. The guide was very friendly and explained everything clearly and understandably in English, so we as Germans could follow without any problems. You can tell he has a lot of experience. Clear recommendation:)
Since the Minneriya National Park was unfortunately drunk at the time of our vacation due to heavy rainfall, we were informed at short notice but in time and then changed the safari destination to the Hurulu Eco Park. Here we saw mainly elephants up close
Best experience ever Nature at its best Driver was excellent and on time Vehicle was comfortable and clean I want to do this again before I die
The safari was a wonderful experience! We saw elephants up close, enjoyed the jeep ride, and the guide was very friendly. The nature around was beautiful and peaceful. Truly a memorable trip!
We had a great time in Minneriya National Park. The tour lasted about three hours, which was plenty of time to see most of the animals roaming the park. If you visit during the right season and want to spot elephants, I highly recommend this tour.
A great tour to see so many Elephants, including babies, as young as just a few weeks, young ones and tusked adults. The Elephants come quite close to us while casually eating the grass. Young ones playing together were fun to watch.
We had a wonderful time on the safari! Despite a rainstorm the night before, we were lucky enough to see several elephants up close. The company was excellent, very communicative, attentive to our needs, and they even picked us up directly from our hotel. Highly recommend!
We could see a lot of animals: elephants, birds and reptiles. Our guide was careful not to scare the animals and approached with respect. We really enjoyed our trip to Minneriya Natural Park!
Amazing tour. We were not in the usual pickup area but transport was arranged for us. The company was very responsive and easy to deal with. We saw many animals but in particular lots of elephants. Our guide was knowledgeable and easy to communicate with. Thanks so much.
We had a fantastic time on the safari. Our tour guide was so friendly and informative. I would highly recommend booking with Mahaweli tours for the experience of a lifetime.
