Hoteller i nærheden af Minneriya National Park
Beskrivelse
Et stort antal af Sri Lankas elefanter tiltrækkes af græsmarker på kanterne af reservoiret i den tørre sæson. Minneriya-tanken bidrager til at opretholde en stor besætning. Elefanter samlet her tæller omkring 150-200. Nogle rapporter tegner antallet af elefanter til så højt som 700. De migrerer hit fra Wasgamuwa National Park og drager fordel af mad og husly for parkens skov. Turister besøger Minneriya stort set på grund af elefanter, især i tør sæson.
Turmuligheder
Rejseplan
Din safari starter kl. 14:30 ved indstillingen Evening Safari. Hvis dit hotel ligger inden for en radius på 5 km til indgangsporten, modtager du også en gratis afhentning fra dit hotel. Hvis ikke, møder du din guide i indgangsguiden i din valgte afgangstid. Parken har mange jordtyper og vækst. Vådområder blandes med landbrugsarealer og klippeagtige udråb, og skove går hånd i hånd med kratemarker. Dette betyder også, at de typer af vilde dyr og fugle, der bor i parken eller besøger den, er ret varierede. Du kan se en krokodille eller endda en ekstremt sjælden grå slanke loris, hvis du er heldig. En lille flok hjorte kan besøge Minneriya-reservoiret, mens du ser tidligt om morgenen. Hvis du planlægger din safari til månedene august, september eller oktober, kan du muligvis se en chance for at se elefantmenigheden, der hedder 'Elephant Gathering' med sit samlede antal på over 150 elefanter på et sted. Det siges, at elefanterne ankommer fra alle omkringliggende områder til denne samling årligt. Hvis du vælger aftensafari, som er det bedste tidspunkt at se denne park, kan du også se elefanterne tage deres daglige bad og se de mange forskellige slags fugle, der tager af sted til deres rede i slutningen af dagen. Når du er færdig med at se naturen i 3 timer i aktion, vender du tilbage til hotellet. aftensturen afslutter du turen kl. 17.30. Hvis dit hotel ligger inden for en radius af 5 km fra indgangsporten, vil du også modtage en gratis aflevering lige til dit hotel.

It was great! We enjoyed our private safari, so would highly recommend and worth every penny. We had a great guide and driver. He made sure to point out animals that we might have missed. Made it comfortable to keep distance from other vehicles.

It was a fantastic experience. We have never seen so many elephants together, babies, teenagers, moms, dads. Our safari driver had a great eye and knowledge about animals. Also we saw plenty of birds, deer, and crocodiles too. Would highly recommended

The safari itself was genuinely great, the wildlife, guides, and overall experience in the park were all excellent. However, what happened before and after completely overshadowed it. First, the company changed the safari park last minute, which was further. Second, when my original pick-up person had to go to the hospital, I asked to be dropped off 5 km from the park, well within their advertised free drop-off radius so I could reach Wi-Fi and book a ride home. Simple and reasonable. Instead, they argued that the drop-off had to be at a hotel and demanded I pay extra. After back-and-forth, they dropped me off just 2.5 km from the park gate, in the middle of nowhere, with no phone reception and no Wi-Fi access. I was stranded on the side of the road for over 2.5 hours with no way to call for help, load a map, or book a ride. This was not just poor customer service, it was a safety issue. Their policy clearly states free drop-off within a 5 km radius, with no mention of hotel-only restrictions. They failed to honour that policy and left a customer stranded. I would urge anyone booking with this company to get every policy detail in writing beforehand and have a backup plan for transport, just in case.

We booked a 4 hour safari experience.. Our driver Dhanuska was very skilled and experienced. Took us to the best sights.. About 50 elephants were grazing on the grounds.. Amazing experience.. Super
All was okay. We knew most of the elephants had gone to Hurulu but we wanted to enjoy a park with (very) few tourists. We saw a variety of birdlife, giant squirrels, some monkeys and mongoose. What you actually see depends on time of day, season and luck. Interesting vegetation and landscape.
Visited in Sep/Oct 2025. It was a family vacation. I booked a local safari operator who was amazing (TravCeylon Leisure - managed by Dhanushka Weerasinghe). The driver was polite and explained us a lot of things about the elephant reserve and showed us all that was possible. He was quite friendly and made sure the safari was enjoyable, as well as, comfortable. I have been to many wildlife safaris in the Indian Sub-Continent. This is surely in the Top-10.
Highly recommended if you want to go on safari and spot elephants, besides that he also has an eye for other animals.
The Driver was great and kept us save the whole Trip. He always made sure to stay as long as we wanted at one location. We highly recommend the Driver and the Trip
It was a good experience. I ve seen hundreds elephants in 2 hour. Driver was very friendly helpful kind and informative.
