“What a delightful day! Plentiful peacocks, playful monkeys and majestic elephants all around! Gimhana was a knowledgeable guide, teaching us about all the animals we encountered and determined to show us as many different species as possible. We were so enthralled with the elephant family that were feeding mere feet from the jeep! At one point, we counted 11 elephants in our immediate vicinity. Amazing!! Additionally, we saw a few jackals, beautifully colored green bee-eater birds, Sri Lankan jungle fowl, water buffalo, a large mongoose, a beautiful little star tortoise, a crocodile and countless egrets and cranes.

“Nationalparken var bra men Viator sysslar med lurendrejeri. Står överst på bekräftelsen att man får inträdesbiljetter mot uppvisande av bekräftelsen. Står även att man får jeep + biljetter. Det stämmer INTE. Inträdet till parken fick man betala utöver. Ca 1200kr för familj på fyra. Vem fan bokar en Jeep till safari, men safarin ingår inte???? Och vilka biljetter betalade jag för om det inte var till Safarin???”

Mr Irfan talked about various as we drove past which was very interesting, and also offered a few extra stops with things to do, in addition to slowing down so we could take pictures.
