We had a great elephant safari today and were lucky enough to see three large herds of elephants. The guide always gave us plenty of time to observe them without rushing, which made the experience very enjoyable and memorable.
One thing we only found out afterwards was that the tour is operated by an American organization. Had we known this in advance, we would have chosen a local company instead, as we prefer to support local businesses whenever possible.
Unfortunately, during the tour the driver was quite persistent in asking for a tip, which made us feel uncomfortable.
Overall, the wildlife experience was fantastic.

Amazing safari - so many elephants!
Fabulous safari. We saw so many elephants, including some really small baby ones, which was magical. The park was busy and there were lots of other jeeps, but we also had quiet moments away from the others. The elephants came so close to the jeep, which was really exciting. Brilliant driver, friendly and knowledgeable. Excellent, comfortable vehicle too. Be prepared for a long wait for tickets to get into the park - 90 mins for us and we hadn’t brought anything to occupy the kids so it was a bit tricky, mainly not knowing how long it would take. This was quickly forgotten once we got going though. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

Wonderful afternoon at Minneriya
The tour company informed us the day before our trip that not many elephants were being seen in the morning, and that they recommended we change to an afternoon tour.
Our driver and guide for the day, Asela, picked us up and was such a great host! He got us into great spots that the elephants naturally came towards and he was also very respectful of them by turning off his engine.
Asela’s knowledge of the elephants and other animals in the park was fantastic and we cannot recommend him enough.

Very nice experience to see elephants.
Great experience with our guide! We were able to observe about fifty elephants and a few birds. The few jeeps present in the park do not go for the animals, they approach it and the animals are not wild and come almost into contact.
I recommend this safari!

35 elephants in two hours, reality?
It seems like a small park, but if you want to see elephants in their natural habitat, you're definitely here.
