1.From Sigiriya: Minneriya National Park Private Jeep Safari

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 415 reviews · 4 hours · from $38Our pick

Travel by private jeep from Sigiriya or Habarana to see Sri Lankan elephants, baby elephants, birds, deer, monkeys, and more. Guides such as Prasad, Prabath, Sami, and Sarath are praised for sharp wildlife spotting and respectful driving. Park choice can change with rain and elephant movement.
