Excursion privée d'une journée à Sigiriya Hike & Minneriya Safari

Thanks to our guide’s excellent guidance, we were able to see many wild animals, including elephants. I’m so grateful for these wonderful memories—I never thought I’d be able to have this kind of experience in Sri Lanka, thinking it was something you could only do in a country like Kenya in Africa. It was wonderful to see so many animals, and it was also a lot of fun to ride standing up in the jeep as we traveled through the park. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

We had a very good time with our guide Kumara who explained it very happily and stopped when we found animals!

Absolute amazing day with Kumara on the Sigiriya Rock & minneriya safari experience. The views from the rock are stunning and Kumara made sure we had a guide and water to take us up the rock. Following that, we went to a craft shop with wonderful wooden carving and then to a Herb garden. The finale of the day was a visit to Minneriya National Park to do an elephant safari. We saw so many elephants and Karmara was amazing taking us to all the spots he knew that elephants would be. I throughly enjoyed the day and would highly recommend it.

Excellent trip well worth the money and longlife memories Driver kumara was very good Minneriya wild safari experience

Absolutely amazing experience. We went to Sigiriya Rock first and then to see wild elephants and beautiful birds in Minneriya National Park. Our guide Kumara was extremely friendly and knowledgeable and I would definitely recommend Minneriya Wild Tours

Wild nature. Free animals. The best combination for a day we will remember.

I did the the lion rock then we went to safari And there is more in the experience I recommend it

Everything went well! Pick up time was accurate and our drivers were very kind and professional!

Everything was as expected. The only thing that we think has to change is to give a tip everywhere. We are tourist not banks, we understand that our posibilitéis are not them but we are trying to do our best and to fit our money to the trip as well. Thanks

Overall, we had a great day! We started at 7am for Sigiriya Rock, which was the perfect time as there were very few people around. The grounds were beautiful. Entry was $45 per person and not included in the tour, but you can pay by card at the entrance. We also paid 15,000 rupees cash each to the guide for Minneriya park entrance fee. Afterwards we did the Sigiriya Village Tour, which included an eco farm growing herbs and spices for Ayurvedic medicine. We were given a massage using different oils and products, which was unexpected but very good. Small tips are encouraged throughout the village tour, usually around 200 rupees, but they seemed optional. We also bought some oils and creams from the farm. Next was a tractor ride, they even let us drive it briefly, followed by a handmade raft trip across the lake. The two men paddling made flowers, necklaces and hats from plants they picked along the way. Very peaceful experience. Lunch was excellent. A local lady demonstrated traditional Sri Lankan cooking and showed us how to de-shell rice, prepare coconut leaf thatching, and process coconuts before serving a large traditional meal. For the safari, our guide explained that due to the weather the elephants had moved, so we went to a different park instead of Minneriya. He explained everything clearly using a translator app. We still saw lots of elephants, which was the main thing. The jeep ride is (as you’d expect) extremely bumpy though, so be careful if you have back problems!
