Fantastic safari trip to lush Minneriya National park. Our jeep driver was a very professional safari driver. We were drove by a comfortable fully opened jeep. So we could spot animals easily. During the two hours trip, we spotted approximately 40-50 elephants. Highly recommended safari trip who is staying in Sigiriya.

Our guide was amazing and we saw many groups of elephants and even several baby elephants that were adorable. Elephants also played in pools of water to cool down. At times we saw some of the other guides seem to get too close to the elephants which was concerning because they are wild animals so they shouldn’t be disturbed. The length of tour was a good length (about 2 hours) and when you wanted to stay and watch or move on from elephants the guide was happy to oblige. It was also fun just riding around in the jeep with the wind in your hair enjoying the scenery. We saw some peacocks and other birds too.

Always enjoy a Safari and this was no different. Driver was average compared to previous Safari drivers. In terms of animals it is really only elephants and water buffalo so once you’ve seen them a few times there is not a lot of variety.

We traveled with Piya Special Green Track and had the best time! Our guide was very kind and knowledgeable and we saw lots of elephants in their natural habitat taking dirt baths and eating fresh vegetation.
