Lake Front Resort ", Kap-Ela, Kandalama, Dambulla 21100, Sri Lanka
The elephants are the main attraction here and you can visit by a jeep safari. The elephants move around, so you might see them at Mineriya instead. The jeep ride is Adventure and the driver knew where the elephants were, at the lake and very used to the 10+ jeeps! so we were able to get very close and got some great photos. Best time to see them is around 3 pm, so allow an hour before that to get to the lake. We saw a huge herd of around 200 elephants, some as young as a month old who very well protected by the older ones but were playful and chasing the birds. There were also water buffalo lying down in the lake to cool off and a huge variety of birds in the shallows. Definitely the highlight of the trip. Highly recommend " Srilanka elephant safari " Tours. Safe & Well organised ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very good sight of the elephants in the safari.
Great safari got to see many elephants and wildlife. The driver knew exactly where to go and helped locate some good locations to spot wildlife.
Had an amazing experience on the Kaudulla Elephant Safari Tour! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and we saw plenty of wild elephants up close in their natural habitat. The tour was well-organized and comfortable, making it a must-do for any wildlife enthusiast. Highly recommend!
We saw a lot of elephants, we were very happy. We saw elephants up close. We saw about 100 elephants. The price was very reasonable. We had a good safari. They showed us more species of animals. Very happy. Thank you very much.
