Our day in the national park exceeded our expectations, with a rich variety of wildlife and stunning landscapes around every corner. The drive from Colombo was smooth, allowing us to relax and take in the beautiful Sri Lankan scenery. One suggestion for improvement would be to extend the time in the park; we would have loved to explore a bit more.

Set off early from the city, we were eager for a day filled with wildlife and stunning scenery. Spotting elephants up close was a highlight, but we felt the guide could share even more about the local ecology.

Our family had an amazing adventure exploring the wildlife, with a memorable moment being when we spotted a majestic leopard lounging under a tree! The drive from Colombo was comfortable, but we wished the guide had shared a bit more about the park’s history during the trip.
