Great safari - We had an excellent driver, and the whole trip went smoothly. Wasgamuwa is not visited as much as other parks, so we benefited from a quite secluded and personal day on safari. We saw several elephants, deer, pelicans, peacocks and other birds, as well as lots of monkeys. We would definitely recommend this tour.
