"I had an amazing experience on the Kaudulla Safari Tour! The park is a hidden gem, offering incredible wildlife sightings, especially the majestic elephants that roam freely. Our guide was highly knowledgeable and made the experience even more memorable, pointing out various animals like crocodiles, peacocks, and rare birds. The scenery was breath-taking, with vast open fields and a serene lake adding to the beauty of the journey. This safari is a must-do for anyone looking to connect with nature and experience Sri Lanka’s wildlife up close!"

Today's guided trip was a surprising and wonderful adventure! We saw about 40 elephants, some very close, as well as several species of birds and reptiles. Our guide showed an extremely sensitive eye for animals, as well as great courtesy and a lot of knowledge. The park was beautiful and the whole trip was straight out of Nat Geo Wild. Gratitude for this experience!
