Kaudulla statt Minneriya Nationalpark: Ein unbeschreiblich tolles Erlebnis, an einem Platz ca. 150 Elefanten zu sehen - in kleineren wie auch größeren Gruppen … ich werde es niemals vergessen!!! Auch waren wir nur zu zweit im Jeep; optimal 😎 Zum Abschluss der Safari gab es noch ein kleines, vom Fahrer zubereitetes Picknick auf der Kühlerhaube des Jeep. Ich denke, dieses Erlebnis ist kaum zu toppen!!! Was mir bei diesen Jeep Safaris nicht gut gefällt, ist, dass die Fahrer zu dicht an die Tiere heranfahren und manchmal/öfter den Tieren die „Vorfahrt“ nehmen. Die Parkleitung sollte den Fahrern ans Herz legen: die Tiere haben „Vorfahrt“ auf den Fahrwegen und vor allem genügend Abstand zu den Tieren einhalten!!! Ansonsten kann ich die Safari am Nachmittag empfehlen 😁😎☀️
