Private Minneriya National Park Safari

Discover Sri Lanka's wild animals by enjoying this unforgettable private safari around Minneriya National Park. You can't miss this must-see experience from Kandy!

Activity Details

We'll pick you up from your hotel in Kandy to travel 2.5 hours by minibus to Minneriya National Park. At the entrance, we'll board a jeep for a photograph safari around the wetlands of this protected area, which hosts a diverse range of species, including crocodiles, monkeys, and slow loris.

After a picnic stop, we'll continue the safari, focusing on the famous Minneriya elephants, which can weigh up to five tonnes. These animals typically form small herds and are visible at various locations throughout the park.

During the safari, we'll also aim to spot various Asian bird species such as pelicans, herons, and ibises sharing the park’s lakes and waterholes with Ceylon buffalos. Although they appear intimidating, Ceylon buffalos are peaceful animals.

To conclude the safari, we'll return to the minibus and head back to our hotels in Kandy, arriving 8.5 hours later.
