Perfect tour, with a perfect guide. - Wow!! Prashath has shown us all the places of the jungle. What was very nice is that he sought the peace for the elephants and not the places where all the jeeps were. And it was our lucky day, because I think we've seen 40 elephants. He also stopped for birds, a camel, monkey and even a huge beehive. We ended with a beautiful sunset. The perfect end to a great safari! I recommend Prashath for 100%

Fantastic early morning tour with a lot of elefants and additional findings - The trip started early on Wednesday morning at 7 a.m. in Habarana, and then all the jeeps gathered in front of the park entrance. Prasad knows the park very well and, in addition to elephants, has a great eye for smaller creatures like birds and chameleons. He deliberately sought out animals in more remote areas, which made the experience feel more personal and let us feel that the animals were not that disturbed. He also provided plenty of explanations along the way. We saw many elephants, including families during our ~4 hours of safari. It was a great tour thanks to Prasad.

Incredible experience with the elephants - We had an absolutely incredible experience on our half day safari, with our wonderful driver Prasad. He went above and beyond to give us the opportunity to see many elephants, and also pointed out many birds and water buffalo. The cost was extremely reasonable for the trip. We feel so lucky to have done this, thank you to Prasad for being so kind and patient. Highly recommend to everyone!
