Minneriya lyxjeepsafari

I arranged the safari through WhatsApp, and the operator was very accommodating in planning the safari according to my budget and preferences. My guide provided a very professional and knowledgeable service. In addition to finding a herd of elephants, we also spotted a chameleon, eagles, and various water birds. What impressed me most was how quickly the guide could identify the species and then find the corresponding page in his field guide to explain more about the animals. It was clear that he has a genuine passion for wildlife, as well as a deep knowledge of and dedication to his work. His enthusiasm and professionalism made the safari a very memorable experience. Highly recommended!

Great afternoon in the national park. We were collected early, which we didn’t mind, but once we got to the park we had to sit in the car for 45 mins waiting on tickets. However once the tickets were sorted the afternoon improved and we were able to see loads of elephants, eagles, monkeys, a chameleon an a baby croc! Would recommend, just prepare yourselves to sweat in the jeep at the start but worth the wait!

Excellent elephant sightings up close. After heavy rainfall, animal diversity was otherwise somewhat limited.

Best safari experience knowledge guide sanjeewa explain very well about wildlife.. good experience highly recommended

I had booked a private jeep half day tour to Minneyira national park, which O received confirmation for. The owner of this company confirmed all costs to me to include parking/ entrance fees. However, on the day of my trip ( when I would be charged 100% if I were to cancel) he informed me that I would need to pay an additional $50

Great experience a must do when in Sigiriya. Our guide had lots of experience and knowledge about the animals in the national park. He looked for elephants away from the other Jeeps which was good. We saw about 20 elephants during the morning safari!

The late afternoon safari is the best as all the elephants gatheres by the lake and sight is incredibly amazing !

Absolutely amazing experience and saw so many animals - herds of elephants, peacocks, deer, mongoose, monkeys, different birds. Driver was very friendly and knowledgeable. 100% recommend.

We had an absolutely amazing experience during the full day safari, our knowledgeable guide and great driver took us on the morning tour to Minneriya and afternoon tour to Kaudulla. The perfect mix to see many birds, monkeys and little creatures such as the mongoose and then of course so many elephants as the highlight, we’ve seen them close by but the driver was very respectful of the elephants. During the lunch break we got on a local village tour with a peaceful catamaran ride across the lake, and we had lunch at a traditional village, we got involved in making a bean curry and had a delicious meal - everyone was so nice and helpful. Please check it out when you’re looking for a safari tour in Sigiriya! We recommend the full day tour so you get a bigger chance to see elephants 100% as we seen only a few in the morning but than so many in the afternoon. Sanjeewa and his team were very thoughtful and checked in with us throughout the day, great and easy communication before and during the trip via WhatsApp.
