A really pleasurable and informative tour with a knowledgeable good english speaking guide. During the time we visited - end of October 2019 - it was during rainy season but this in no way spoilt the trip. The journey to Galle was broken by a visit to the Turtle hatchery and conservation centre and it was heartening to see what was being done to preserve these endangered creatures. The Fort itself was very interesting and remarkably well preserved/restored with a fine selection of shops and restaurants within the walls.

Went on a morning safari, and had a great time! It was rumored that a leopard was laying on a rock, but then it dissoparied. The other cars went on to chase it, but our driver stayed put with the rock and closed the engine. 5 min wait, and the leopard claimed up on the rock again - and we were all alone to vitnes the beautiful animal! Saw alot of other animals and the driver choose roads with no/few other cars, so we felt "alone" on the safari journey. Recommanded!

I travelled with Dush in Dec 2019. There were two of us, my husband and I. Dush was definitely safe and honest and brought us to the places that we requested and also did some recommendations along the way. We first planned our itinerary and sent him thru whatsapp on +94 773884173 so we could have a plan and discussion. He took us on a 8day 7 nights travel and it was truly fun and enjoyable. He also took us on an additional off the beat path trip to visit his old house and we met his wife and kid. An amazing experience through and through with Dush!

The park offers everything that is needed for an exciting safari. Great landscapes, many animals, especially elephants! We were very close to the elephants and were very lucky to be able to watch a whole herd and also some baby elephants. Furthermore, I would like to emphasize our tour guide - not only did he inspire and excite us with his very good mood, he also saw many small animals with his trained eye and answered our questions thoroughly. The 3 hours passed by in no time and gave us many nice memories. Would totally recommend booking a trip with these guys :-)

I first booked a safari through minneriya national park with Rukmal, which I enjoyed so much I also booked the bird watching tour with him the next day. Rukmal has extensive knowledge about the area and all the animals, birds and plants around, which made both tours an unforgettable experience and thought me a lot about the flora and fauna in the area. If you want an unforgettable experience in Habarana I recommend this guide highly. Thank you Rukmal for 2 great days in Sri Lanka!

Aruna was a wonderful guide; we could tell that he was proud of his country and wanted us to love it too. He was knowledgeable and took us wherever we wanted to go on top of the itinerary. He certainly chose the best jeep driver for the reserve where we got much closer to the wild elephants than anyone else. He also waited patiently as I looked at multiple pieces of jewellery, finally buying a piece in the shop of his favourite hotel - an Edwardian colonial country house. If you can travel with Aruna, do it - some of the other guides are really just taxi drivers.
