    Just need a driver for this Tour.
    You don’t really a tour guide for this booking. Just a driver if you’re coming from Kandy. The view is amazing and not that far. Get a Tuk Tuk motor cart to reach the top.

    Great Safari Experience in Minneriya National Park!
    We had a wonderful time exploring Minneriya National Park with our driver, Asela. The guided tour was excellent, and we were lucky to see a lot of elephants. They were close by and Asela stopped at the right spots so we could watch them very good. We also saw monkeys, a deer and eagles during our visit. Asela was a knowledgeable and courteous guide who shared interesting insights about the park and its wildlife. The jeep we used for the safari was comfortable and allowed us to stand in the back for a better view, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We also appreciated the small touches, like having water available during the tour. Overall, we were very satisfied with the experience and would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.

    Fantastic Seats
    Our five star hotel in Kandy let me know about the Perahera and was offering tickets but never responded to be when I asked to buy some. I then turned to Lakpura LLC. Mewan immediately responded and subsequent communication with his staff was excellent. We ended up with fantastic front row seats in the Queen’s Hotel Corridor. Not only did we get the best views for photos but the seating was also converted which came in handy as it was sometimes drizzling. We also had access to a toilet as the ceremony was long. Sure we paid a lot but it was worth it for such good seats to one of Buddhism’s holiest and most colourful festivals. Pro tip: bring water and snacks. Thanks very much Lakpura.

    Highly recommend this trip!
    Highly recommend this trip, we had a private safari in a very comfortable jeep. Our guide was informative and patient, and drove sensibly and considerately of the elephants. We saw so many elephants and had plenty of time to take photos, videos and just sit and watch them. We were able to get really close without intruding on their space. Was an amazing experience and a highlight of our trip to Sri Lanka.

    Excellent birdwatching experience!
    I was surprised having such a great birdwatching experience just outside of Colombo. Really good wetland with many birds. And Chinthaka is a guide with deep knowledge, which is not easy to find in Sri Lanka!

    Elephants with a view
    Great experience. Our guide was great, had the tickets bought before we got there so we wouldn't have to wait a long queue and took us to the less crowded side of the park. We saw many elephants and astonishing views. Thank you!

    Excellent
    Very good experience. The management of the reservation was excellent. And the safari very nice with a very professional driver who explained everything very well and took us through very good roads, much of the tour we went alone instead of with the jeep group.

    Wonderful family day out with our guide Lahiru
    We had such a wonderful morning at Udawalawe National Park with Lahiru . We were very lucky and saw a great number of elephant groups in the first couple of hours of our visit. Lahiru was very knowledgeable about the area, and knew how to find the quieter viewing spots and routes to see the families of elephants. Especially helpful with my young family. We did not feel crowded or rushed, and had amazing close opportunities with the elephants. Lahiru was also very knowledgeable about the birds and other creatures in the park. All details had been arranged well in advance, with pick up and drop off scheduled well. Thank you Lahiru, we would definitely recommend your expertise to others. Contact details +94762726799

    Great Udawalawe morning safari
    We had a great safari with lahiru as our guide. We received a small sweet local snack at the start at 6 am. Our guide lahiru spotted a lot of animals we weren’t able to spot, from small insects, birds, crocodiles and elephants. In the 4h safari we did a big tour on our own. Staying away from others drivers to enjoy the peace from nature. 10/10 would recommend!

If you like trains, like we do, you should do this train ride, take in all the beautiful sights on the way. You can get snacks and drinks on the train, it does get busy though.
