Great Jeep Safari to Hurulu Eco park - We first booked safari at Minneriya National Park but Sinhagiri tour told us that with the weather, we might see more elephants at Hurulu Eco park. So, we changed as advice. The trip was excellent from 2 pm until 6 pm which right at sunset. We saw lots of elephants. Many were in close ranges. The driver could find the places that allowed us to see more and more elephants and other animals (eagles, peacocks, parrots, and others). And lastly took us to a sunset view at the lake which is very beautiful. This trip is worthwhile to take if you visit Sigiriya area!

Great half day trip for safari - Great experience going on the Safari. Saw lots of elephants on the early morning tour. Guide provided water and pointed out the local wildlife. Great for a half day trip if you are in Sigiriya.

Amazing time with bay elephants - Truly a magical experience. Our guide was great at working with the other drivers to understand where the elephants were, we even got to see two babies! They were adorable. Plus he pointed out other birds and animals within the park. At the end he managed to find a very zen spot all to ourselves so we could just sit and watch the elephants. Highly recommend this tour, they really know their stuff.
