In the afternoon Exclusive jeep safari in Minneriya National park (Optional). More spectacular than possibly any other wildlife event in Sri Lanka is what is known as the ‘Gathering’. During the dry season (July to September) when water supplies start to diminish, more and more animals congregate around the Minneriya reservoir where the grasses are rich and fertile. For several months of this drought season different herds of wild elephants gather at the reservoir. They come from areas beyond Minneriya, and at any one time it is possible to witness up to 300 to 400 elephants. They are not migrating, they are simply ‘gathering’, to socialize, bathe, drink, feed and possibly mate. Other time visit Eco park or the Kaudulla Wild life national park.

We cannot thank our tour co-ordinator Nilushki and our tour guide Dewa enough for our fantastic holiday. There was such attention to detail around our trip – ranging from a... read more greeting with flowers at the airport, to snacks to keep us going at the safaris – and care shown by both during our time there. I was sick for a day or so during the trip and both Nilushki and Dewa demonstrated genuine concern for my well-being.
Planning the tour with Nilushki couldn’t have been easier. We used one of their standard tours as a starting point and adjusted according to our interests and the extra time we had available. Nilushki suggested places and activities that we might enjoy - all of them spot on - as well as accommodation, which was outstanding too. She was incredibly flexible and nothing was a problem during the whole process. She even took it to the next level, ensuring our itinerary coincided with annual festivals that we didn't know about. This was particularly so for the annual Buddhist parade in Kandy.
And our guide and driver Dewa. What can I say? Dewa really made our trip so special for us. He organised all the tickets / passes / accesses for all of our activities, as well as liaising with our accommodation to ensure we were settled in and comfortable. It meant we didn’t have to worry about any of those small but annoying things that otherwise take up time and stress during a holiday. He was our guide on the vast majority of the activities, he cheerily answered any and all questions we had about Sri Lanka (including some awkward ones ) and he seemed to know nearly everyone in the country! Everywhere we went he knew people and they were all happy to see him. I take that as a good sign of his genuineness and care. He was happy to oblige any requests we had, was always on time (even early), incredibly friendly and open and enthusiastic about the day’s activities. He was there when we needed him but also gave us the space to enjoy our holiday just the two of us. As he realised our interests whilst travelling with us, he suggested and added in other activities he thought we would like. They were spot on too. Honestly, the perfect guide and companion for our trip. I could not speak more highly of him.
Whilst I had wanted to utilise a local travel agent for our trip to Sri Lanka – in no small part because I wanted to give my business to a smaller local company, rather than a multinational travel agency – I was concerned about the quality of the service we would receive. Journeyscapes, Nilushki and Dewa completely transformed my concerns by providing such an excellent trip. I cannot recommend more highly.
September 13, 2023Just wow! - I booked a private 14 day tour with car and guide with Nilukshi. This was my honeymoon and when researching companies to assist with out trip, I wanted the local... read more touch. Journey Escapes came up as an option via Travel Local.
Nilukshi was absolutely phenomenal to work with. She offered many options based on price, luxury, adventure etc and was available night and day to respond to questions or concerns.
Our driver/guide Palitha became like our own family. He was incredibly nice and made ys so comfortable with his constant smile.
The hotels booked and range of adventures provided were so unique that each day felt like a mini trip! Sri Lanka is a stunning and diverse island and an absolute must do!
I highly recommend booking with Jourbey Escapes and letting them plan your trip here! For a truly unique but luxury experience- try to include Wild Coast in Yala and Ceylon on your tour!

We have been driven around and guided by JourneyScapes with the driver Deva De Silva, who is an amazing man and fantastic person.
Everyone who has Deva as their driver/guide is lucky! If so, he will make your trip to Sri Lanka even better than imaginable, as he did with our trip. He has been flexible and kind all the time, and there has been no issues at all.
Thank you for everything!
