Amazing experience, best driver in Sri Lanka, had a lot of knowledge and was really nice and safe
Was an amazing time! We saw so many elephants and the park is amazing. The guide knew a lot about the animals and it was such an interesting day!!
Sanju picked us up at our hotel and drove to Hurulu Eco Park. We then went inside the park and ended up seeing about 20 elephants in total. What made this so special and better than we could have imagined was, that Sanju drove the smaller and bumpier but therefore much less crowded roads. That’s why we really had the chance to look at the animals in peace and quiet and not with the dust and exhaust fumes from other cars in our faces. He was also very knowledgable and told us a lot of interesting facts about elephants and the other wildlife that he pointed out to us. We also appreciated that he did not hurry us plus he had a great feeling for the direction in which the elephants were going to move so he parked in one spot and then we could watch the elephants moving past us.
Our adventure in the National Park with Sanju has been great! Sanju drove us in the park with his amazing jeep from which we had a unique view of the wildlife in the park. The highlight: We saw a family of elephants and Sanju explained us all the main things to know about this gorgeous animal! Must see!!
We had the most incredible day and saw many elephants - lone bull elephants as well as herds of females of various ages including a mother & newborn! Our driver Madusha (Sanju) was very respectful towards the elephants and also knowledgeable, we learnt a lot about the elephants and other wildlife.
We contacted them in advance and asked them to organize two different tours that allowed them to join the Village Safari and Jeep Safari in one day. Even if it was a small question, I could trust you quickly if I emailed you. He was punctual, a very gentlemanly and gentle guide and driver. It was fun to move around talking about various things because I was traveling alone. As a guide, he had a very good eye and was very good at spotting animals while driving. Each time they pulled over and took care to take pictures. At first we were planning to go to Mineria National Park, but the rain caused the water to rise, so we changed to Kadurah National Park. Thanks to their resourcefulness, I was able to meet many elephants. It was great.
We had an amazing experience. Our driver Madushe was fantastic – friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we got the best views. We saw so many elephants, including a herd of 18 with a baby elephant – absolutely unforgettable! Highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting the area.
Super nice guide, experience in animal spotting and so we were able to spot many birds and other animals In addition also very friendly to us, other keeps and to the animals. In short, highly recommended!
very nice experience, top guide of a special safari, the guide is available and warm, i recommend it, i see so much elephant, it was a good day.
The trip was amazing! Our driver Madusha was super nice and told us so much about the wild life, and especially about the elephants, in Sri Lanka. We had the best time and would recommend it a 100%.
