The route

A private jeep into Gal Oya Park.

Gal Oya Park is not the everyday Habarana safari, and we treat it that way on purpose. It is a longer-distance option for travellers who want a wider Sri Lanka wildlife day and have the time to leave the usual Cultural Triangle circuit.

Because transfer time and park logistics change with your start point, we arrange Gal Oya Park only on request. Share your travel dates, group size and the rest of your route, and we will tell you whether the day is realistic.

If you are staying in Habarana and want the most reliable elephant viewing with the least travel, Minneriya, Kaudulla or Hurulu will usually be the better first choice.
