Itinerary
Day 1
Private jeep safari. We will collect you from the pickup location you selected (one of the three pickup areas below). The driver and experienced tracker will take you to the national park judged best for wildlife on the travel date (Minneriya, Kaudulla or Hurulu Eco Park). You may remain inside the park as long as you wish during the allocated day; total time for the service is approximately 7 hours 30 minutes from pickup to drop-off.
Pickup from your hotel or agreed meeting point — Rambawilla area
We will pick you up from your hotel or a specific address in Rambawilla and drive to the national park selected for the day (Minneriya / Kaudulla / Hurulu Eco Park). An experienced and expert tracker will join you inside the park. Included: bottled water, fresh coconut and pineapple, park entry fees, binoculars and private transportation.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm your exact hotel address in Rambawilla the day before so the driver can reach you efficiently.
- Dress children in lightweight, long-sleeved clothing and closed shoes — mornings can be dusty and the jeep ride is bumpy.
- Bring any required child items (snack, medication, sunhat); infant seats are not provided and infants must not sit on laps during the safari.
Pickup from your hotel or agreed meeting point — Galoya area
We will pick you up from your hotel or a specified meeting point on Galoya Road and transfer you to the national park selected for the day (Minneriya / Kaudulla / Hurulu Eco Park). The private jeep and an experienced tracker will guide the game drive inside the park. Included: bottled water, fresh coconut and pineapple, park entry fees, binoculars and private transportation.
Tips from local experts:
- If your accommodation is on Galoya Road, confirm the nearest landmark for faster pickup — Galoya Road is rural and exact locations help the driver.
- Carry sunscreen and insect repellent for children; apply before boarding the jeep to avoid eye irritation during the drive.
- There are limited facilities inside the parks; use restrooms at the park gate before the game drive and keep a small snack handy for younger children.
Pickup from your hotel or agreed meeting point — Habarana (Trincomalee Road)
We will pick you up from your hotel or a chosen meeting point in Habarana (Trincomalee Road area) and take you by private jeep to the best national park for that day's wildlife activity (Minneriya / Kaudulla / Hurulu Eco Park). An experienced tracker will guide your safari; park entry fees, bottled water, fresh coconut and pineapple, and binoculars are included.
Tips from local experts:
- Habarana pickup points can be busy; provide a clear pickup landmark on Trincomalee Road (hotel name or junction) to avoid delays.
- Temperatures rise midday — carry a light jacket for early morning and a sunhat for later; children tire quickly so plan short breaks during the game drive.
- Keep camera batteries charged and store extra memory cards; binoculars are provided but a child-friendly compact camera or phone works well for family photos.
