Description
Capture the beauty of Minneriya National Park on a photography safari. Spot Asian elephants, spotted deer, water buffalo, and crocodiles, and enjoy a quiet, focused atmosphere.

Your guide understands animal behavior and positioning, ensuring you get the best angles for wildlife and scenic shots. Expect sightings of Asian elephants, spotted deer, water buffalo, crocodiles, and over 160 bird species, including painted storks, kingfishers, pelicans, and bee-eaters.
Keep your group small to ensure a quiet, focused atmosphere for photography and observation. This is not a rushed sightseeing tour — it’s a professional wildlife experience crafted for those who want to study, wait, and capture the perfect moment in nature.
Choose a half-day, full-day, or multi-day safari with optional extras like a birdwatching extension, photography tips session, or post-safari image review. Hotel pickup is available from Sigiriya, Habarana, Dambulla, or Kandalama.
