Minneriya National Park Private Jeep Safari with Expert Guide
Unforgettable day spent up close with elephants
An incredible day with our children who were so thrilled to see the elephants so close! We also saw a crocodile, peacocks, buffalo, and magnificent birds. A huge thank you to our incredibly kind driver, Kumara!

Minneriya National Park Elephant Safari
Adventure Elephant Safari
Nice experience, spotted many elephants in their natural environment, some families with really adorable young cubs. Experienced driver who managed to extricate himself from difficult situations created by mud. Definitely to recommend leaving in the early morning to avoid finding yourself with too many jeeps around
