The Sri Lankan countryside features various natural jewels. Experience one during this safari through the Minneriya National Park from Dambulla.

Minneriya National Park Safari

You will be picked up from your hotel in Dambulla and then drive for 40 minutes to Minneriya National Park.

To explore the park, we take a safari through Minneriya on an all-terrain Jeep. During the tour, learn about the unique creatures in this ecosystem, including loris monkeys and Sri Lankan crocodiles.

A short break will follow the first part of the safari for lunch, so bring a picnic. Afterward, one of the highlights will be observing the famous Minneriya elephants. Notable characteristics include their distinct trunk and ears, which differentiate them from African elephants.

The safari continues with the observation of a variety of birds of Minneriya, such as herons, pelicans, and ibis, commonly seen by the park's lakes alongside large buffaloes.

The jeep safari concludes at the park entrance. Following this, you will return by minibus to your hotel in Dambulla, arriving 5 hours later.
