      Your boat ride will take you across the pristine waters of the Lagoon in Alankuda which borders the Wilpattu national park and extends towards the sand dunes and Salt Pans in the distance. You’ll be able to witness the hard work put in by the locals, who earn their living from the locally available natural resources, as you pass through the little fishing villages and local communities sited on the borders of the Lagoon which stretches up to the mighty ocean. Small and large scale fishermen share the same space in the lagoon and you’ll get a glimpse of the shrimp farms which are a booming business in the Lagoon area of Kalpitiya.

      Great, we saw a lot of elephants. Good communication before the journey. He picked us at the bus and drop off at the hotel (we paid for that).

      Amazing
      What a fabulous day we had. Driver, forgive me for not remembering your name, was excellent. He was totally flexible, with excellent knowledge. Made suggestions and gave us all the time we needed at different sites I can't recommend this tour company enough. You will not be disappointed. Karen Blackburn

      Great option if you’re staying in Ella!
      The safari was great! The transfer to and from Ella was seemless. Coordinator was very responsive via whatsapp. We got to see a leopard, elephants, buffalos, crocodiles, etc… the jeep driver knew very well where to go and made sure we did not miss that elusive Leopard when the chance presented itself! :)

      Wonderful experience, arranged with ease and good communication
      Amazing trip, I highly recommend Lakpura and Raveesha for all your Sri Lankan needs! It was amazing to be so close to the elephants. All the organisation was so smooth and a cake was even arranged for my brother. BIG RECOMMEND!

      Comfortabele safari with so many elephants
      Awesome elephant safari! Our driver was super kind and besides the elephants that were easy to find he pointed out numerous animals in the trees such as a crocodile, specials bird and monkeys. Also the jeep was the most comfortable jeep we have ever road in. Tip! Our driver contacted us the day before to suggest we move the time and location to be able to see more elephants. We highly recommend you follow up on his expertise and experience. We saw around 75 elephants that day!

      Great driver and great experience!
      Fantastic safari with our driver Asela! We saw so many animals - loads of elephants, some foxes, eagles, water buffalo and lots of other birds. The scenery is beautiful. Asela has great English and was very knowledgeable about the elephants and could answer all of our questions. Would definitely recommend!

      Great safari!
      Asela was a brilliant guide - he took care of us and everything for the day! We must have seen 80+ elephants and plenty other animals during the safari.

      Go early and avoid holy days
      Buddha’s tooth was apparently snatched from his funeral pyre and smuggled in to Sri Lanka by a princess and here it is kept in a casket and is considered very holy. People come to make offerings and hope their prayers are answered. Beautiful flowers are sold at many stalls outside. One must not take photos of anyone in front of the buddhas. There is a memorial to a faithful elephant and people can light incense sticks for loved ones. Most people wear white. All must show respect by covering legs and shoulders. Shoes are not worn in the whole complex. 200 rupees to have them looked after. Go early and avoid holy days.

      Great service
      Having read other travellers’ experiences of not being able to secure train tickets we didn’t want to take any chances so book them in advance. The tickets came through via email and the agent was great and made regular contact via WhatsApp - even to check we were safely on the train. The train ride was great (only 1.5 hours late which we understand is quite good!) We booked first class seats as thought we would need the air conditioning but as it’s much cooler due to the altitude 2nd class would have bern equally good with the added benefit of being able to open the windows to take photos. However we could move around the train and were able to take plenty of photos of the magnificent views.

      Great experience
      Great experience and great driver. We saw a lot of elephants, and the driver that took us around explained us lots of interesting things around all the wildlife we saw. Highly recommended

      Just need a driver for this Tour.
      You don’t really a tour guide for this booking. Just a driver if you’re coming from Kandy. The view is amazing and not that far. Get a Tuk Tuk motor cart to reach the top.

      Great Safari Experience in Minneriya National Park!
      We had a wonderful time exploring Minneriya National Park with our driver, Asela. The guided tour was excellent, and we were lucky to see a lot of elephants. They were close by and Asela stopped at the right spots so we could watch them very good. We also saw monkeys, a deer and eagles during our visit. Asela was a knowledgeable and courteous guide who shared interesting insights about the park and its wildlife. The jeep we used for the safari was comfortable and allowed us to stand in the back for a better view, which made the experience even more enjoyable. We also appreciated the small touches, like having water available during the tour. Overall, we were very satisfied with the experience and would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Sri Lanka.
