About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- X1921EGabigaild0 contributionsAn amazing elephant experienceWe had the most wonderful time on the Elephant safari. Lakpura Leisure went above and beyond to help us celebrate our anniversary. Our guide Asela was very knowledgable and ensured that we had the best experience seeing the elephants. We couldn’t have asked for better, thank you :)Written December 10, 2024
- rosieserge0 contributionsElephants galore!What a fantastic place to visit. We saw so many elephants, at least 40 and all were close enough that if you only have your phone for photos then it would be enough to get great shots. Whilst the elephants were the highlight we also saw buffaloes, jackal, mongoose, monitor lizards, black necked hare, kingfishers, bee eaters, peacocks (which are everywhere), spotted deer, crocodile, fruit bat, parakeets, minor birds, frogs, jungle fowl (the national bird), painted storks, pond herons and numerous other birds. We were picked up and dropped off at our accommodation and the safari jeep was ideal for a great view of the wildlife.Written December 8, 2024

- Q6741PLmichaels0 contributionsGreat tourThis was a great little tour. Shirat gave me a little history lesson along with answering all my questions about Unesco & how restorations were happening.

- laddie1350 contributionsAmazing viewsSlow train ride through beautiful countryside. Views amazing. Train was quite empty when I travelled maybe lucky. I was in 3rd class. Maybe go in second class for a more comfortable seat.Written November 30, 2024
- worldwanderer3330 contributionsA very enjoyable train ride.My husband and I had a lovely trip on the Amtrak train Blue Water from Flint, Michigan to Milwaukee - via Chicago. The ride was great, and smooth - we had Red Coat assistance in Chicago, helping my 80 year-old husband. The trains were very clean, modern, comfortable. The Chicago to Milwaukee is a commuter train, also very comfortable, clean, with professional staff assisting. And they were on time! there was assistance at the doors to the trains for those who needed it. My husband says that the best part of our trip to Michigan and Wisconsin was the train ride.Written November 14, 2024

- Samir O0 contributionsGreat option if you’re staying in Ella!The safari was great! The transfer to and from Ella was seemless.

- timkH2910WU0 contributionsComfortabele safari with so many elephantsAwesome elephant safari! Our driver was super kind and besides the elephants that were easy to find he pointed out numerous animals in the trees such as a crocodile, specials bird and monkeys. Also the jeep was the most comfortable jeep we have ever road in. Tip! Our driver contacted us the day before to suggest we move the time and location to be able to see more elephants. We highly recommend you follow up on his expertise and experience. We saw around 75 elephants that day!Written September 22, 2024
