Everything went well. The guide was very nice. He stopped all the time to let us see the animals from every angle. There was quite a language burden, but we still got to enjoy our safari: he showed us the animals through some app he had, and for further explanations we could check on the internet - he did his best! We loved the safari

We did the 9 hour safari. Our guide was really helpful in pointing out animals we would have otherwise missed. Seeing the elephants was magical. Lots and lots of different bird species. The last 2 or 3 hours or so didn’t really see much new however.

It was absolutely fantastic! Few days we were in Uduwalawa National Park which was also beautiful and we saw like 5 elephants. But this trip to Wasgamuwa was completely different level! We saw around 40 elephants including babies and they were so close to us we could touch them (of course we didn't :).
