Safari Tour at Minneriya National Park
Overview
This park is located close to the world heritage Sigiriya Rock Fortress and Dambulla Cave Temple. You time will be perfectly managed when all three places are covered within one day. Bunches of Elephants can be seen in their natural behavior and visitors will be amazed to see hundreds in bunch. You will be transferred by a off-road/ 4WD jeep which is specially designed for outdoor activities like this. Out chauffeurs speak good English and equipped with good local knowledge. You will not regret about the decision after completing the tour.
There are two National Parks located within close proximity. They are Minneriya & Kaudaulla National Park. Normally the Elephants are switching between two parks during the different months of the year depending on the rain situation and the level of the water of the lakes inside the parks. We will advise the guests about the best location to witness the Elephants on the particular time period and proceed to the relevant park with guest's approval.

They will pick you up from the parking with a jeep and drive 15 min to the lake where the elephant herds are coming. It was a very pleasant experience.

We Cannot praise Mahawelli Tours enough. We have just come home form 14 days touring Sri Lanka and thanks to Mahawelli we have had the most memorable experience. From my first communication with Prasad, we were guided and advised on things do and see. We faced delays with the start of our holiday due to flight delays, which meant we missed our train to Kandy. Prasad quickly arranged transport for us, which waited 4 hours for us to arrive. On day 1 we met Gamlath, he was our guide for our first week in central province. He was amazing, he listened to our needs, explained everything to us on our excursions clearly and made our hole experience more memorable. The vehicle was very comfortable and the right size for us and all our luggage, including the oversized surfing equipment. The highlight for our stay was definitely Minneriya, seeing the amazing elephants including babies! We also visited Sigiriya and Dambulla, the Veddah people and a fabulous day in and around Kandy doing the sights, all fabulous. We changed our travel plans in the end of our holiday because of the professional service we had received, booking our onward transport to Hikkiduwa with Mahiwelli and then our final airport transport. The roads and driving in Sri Lanka are crazy, it is most certainly an experience, we felt totally safe with Gamleth at all times. A massive thank you to Prasad and Gamlath for making our holiday amazing!ShahidL21

It was a great experience at the national park. Weather was a bit rainy. Roads were muddy. But at last we could see many elephants in herds. We had also seen birds, peacock, eagles and even few jackles.

Una excursión muy interesante. Vimos muchos animales y bastantes elefantes, eso que la época del "gathering" ya había pasado. La experiencia con la empresa organizadora muy buena. Nos recogieron a tiempo y nos enseñaron adecuadamente el parque
