magical, intimate, and truly a once in a lifetime experience. we did the safari with our 3 year old and have nothing but positive things to say both about the safari and our guide, prasad. upon meeting prasad for the first time, he had the brightest and most lively smile. what a way to start our trip! the jeep ride, although bumpy (as expected), was also comfortable for our toddler. he was enthusiastic and knew of all the spots to go to. we were in such close proximity to the elephants - we were literally rubbing shoulders with some of them! it left us speechless and there were so many moments that took our breaths away. to see such magnificent creatures in their own natural habitat living going about their day - we couldn't have asked for more. this was by far the best safari we've had (and we have done a couple around asia). thank you so much hina & prasad for making our experience such an unforgetable and beautiful one. we'll cherish these memories and experience for a lifetime.

The tour was excellent despite lots of cars in the park - I especially recommend our guide, Iendiko, who did everything so we could see the elephants up close and with no other cars around. They were also very acccommodating with the pick up and drop off locations. Highly recommend!!! 😊

Full description

Hurulu Eco Park is a sanctuary nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka, renowned for its breathtaking natural beauty and diverse wildlife. One of the park's most popular attractions is the Elephant Safari, particularly when paired with the Thilini Jeep Safari, which enhances the overall experience.

As you embark on the Elephant Safari, you'll be greeted by lush greenery and the soothing sounds of nature. The park's serene ambiance sets the perfect stage for an unforgettable adventure. The safari is typically led by experienced guides who are well-versed in the park's history, wildlife, and conservation efforts. They provide insightful commentary throughout the journey, enriching your understanding of the ecosystem.

The elephants are undoubtedly the stars of the safari. These majestic creatures roam freely in their natural habitat, creating a mesmerizing sight. Observing them in the wild, displaying their natural behaviors such as bathing, grazing, and socializing, is a truly humbling experience. The park is home to a significant population of elephants, giving visitors ample opportunities to witness these gentle giants up close.

The Thilini Jeep Safari complements the Elephant Safari by offering a different perspective of the park. The sturdy jeeps navigate through rugged terrain, allowing you to explore areas beyond the reach of the elephant trails. This safari is ideal for spotting other wildlife species such as leopards, sloth bears, deer, and a variety of bird species. The thrill of encountering these animals in their natural habitat adds an element of excitement to the adventure.

Throughout the safari, you'll be surrounded by the park's rich biodiversity. Towering trees, colorful flora, and picturesque landscapes create a scenic backdrop for your journey. The guides also share insights into the park's flora, highlighting unique plant species and their ecological significance.

Safety is paramount during the safari, with strict guidelines in place to ensure the well-being of both visitors and wildlife. The park authorities prioritize conservation efforts, aiming to maintain a harmonious balance between tourism and environmental preservation.

In conclusion, a Hurulu Eco Park Elephant Safari combined with a Thilini Jeep Safari offers a holistic wildlife experience. It's a chance to connect with nature, witness incredible wildlife moments, and gain a deeper appreciation for Sri Lanka's natural heritage.
