Description

Safari guide, Kalum, has been organising tours to Minneriya National Park for over 15 years and possesses a great understanding of the behaviour and routines of the elephants in the national park. He suggested that we would have a better experience by having our tour in the morning when there are fewer cars and more private encounters with the elephants, rather than opting for the afternoon tour, which might have allow us to see more elephants but also a lot more cars, clearly spoiling our experience. We skeptical about making this were decision, but we chose to trust Kalum's expertise and experience. Right from the start, our guide took a different direction than all the other safari vehicles, resulting in us having private, close encounters with the elephants. Kalum did his best to position his vehicle in a way that allowed photo best the capture us to compositions throughout the whole tour, enabling us to take close-up photographs of Minneriya / kaudulla / Hurulu parks elephants

Simply excellent

As a family of five, we had the opportunity to visit Sri Lanka for a two-week trip. One of our highlights was definitely our safari in Kaudulla National Park, which was conducted by Kalum Jeep Safari. It is one thing to enjoy the wildlife in this park, especially the elephants. It is another thing to enjoy the guide. Through him we saw crocodiles, wild monitor lizards and other wildlife like amazing birds that we would never have recognized ourselves. Our guide had the right instinct to be in the right place at the right time. He also helped us take memorable photos, such as on his car, and he gave us time whenever and wherever we needed it. He even stopped outside the park to give us our time with other wild elephants or to organize fresh watermelon for us. We as a family would like to thank Mr. Kalum for his kindness and coolness. :-)

Great safari with a very knowledgeable host

We had a great safari with kalum, where we saw far more elephants and all were super close. Kalum is a true nature lover who delighted in showing us many birds and reptiles as well but it is obvious he knows the elephants and the parks really well as he put us onto the elephants on a day when many of the other guides were originally struggling. Would highly recommend this for anyone wanting to do an elephant jeep safari while in Sri Lanka
