  Here is a concise ~120-word review in English: ⸻ We had an amazing elephant safari, and the whole experience was truly unforgettable. Our driver was excellent — he drove safely and knew exactly where to go to spot wildlife without disturbing the animals. He always found the perfect viewing spots, allowing us to see the elephants up close and in their natural environment. Our guide spoke very good English and shared a lot of interesting information about the animals, their behavior, and the area. His knowledge made the safari even more engaging and educational. Overall, it was a fantastic adventure: well-organized, exciting, and respectful toward the wildlife. We highly recommend this safari to anyone wanting a real, authentic experience with elephants.

  We had an incredible tour. Our guide, Chamita, was so friendly and informative and seemed passionate that we had a great experience. We were able to see so many elephants, bathing in the lakes, shading in the forest and playing together. Being picked up and dropped off at our hotel in Sigiriya made it such a convenient trip too. Shen safari also were very responsive on WhatsApp making sure that we had everything in order for our pickup.

  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an absolutely unforgettable experience with Shen Safari in Habarana! 🌿🐘 Everything was perfectly organized from the warm welcome to the breathtaking elephant sightings. Shen and his team went above and beyond to make our safari truly special. Their knowledge, friendliness, and passion for wildlife made it the best safari experience we’ve ever had. If you’re visiting Sri Lanka and want a real adventure, Shen Safari is simply the best in the world! 🫶 Highly, highly recommended! 💯🇱🇰

  Highly recommend this tour, we had a fabulous time with our informative & knowledgable guide Shenu. Before departure we discussed the National Parks and what we wanted from the day and he adapted the trip based on his local knowledge to meet our needs. We saw an abundance of elephants in his very comfortable jeep. He knew exactly where they had migrated to. Very considerate to the wild mammal, kept his distance, switched off the engine and knew when to move on and give them back their space & privacy. He picked us up promptly from our hotel and on they way back pulled up and surprised us with a much needed refreshment of coconut milk & fresh fruit. Tim & Lou - 16/9/2025

  Shen was recommended to us by a local. He was very responsive easy to book in with. We were initially looking to go to Minneriya but he recommended Kaudulla as this was quieter and where most of the elephants were. Shen was really knowledgeable about the elephants and other animals. We saw a large herd of 40+ with 4 tuskers along with multiple smaller herds, birds, buffalo and crocodiles. He was great with our toddler too! He was a safe driver and his vehicle was comfortable and clean. And very respectful of the animals in their habitat

• Excellent experience

  Would highly recommend to everyone! Shen was a wonderful tour guide through Kaudulla National Park, telling us all about the animals and making sure we got to see them up close! Took us to a secret spot for sunset and provided complimentary watermelon… what a star

  Shen is a brilliant safari guide. We saw SO many elephants and observed them in their natural habitat. It was amazing, he made sure we were so comfortable on the day and gave us water when we needed. We also saw so many birds and wildlife and learnt too much about such beautiful animals - especially the elephants! He is very knowledgable and kind, we had such a fun day on the Safari but left with a new friend. Thank you so much for all the pictures too. Thank you so much Shen 🐘❤️

  I recommend the experience 💯. I was a little scared as elephants impress a lot. I finally felt very safe. Good car, good wheels and... Good driver! In addition to respecting the animals fleeing the crowds of jeeps, he always explained how elephants acted, always watching over us at all times! It was a great experience!
