The route

A private jeep into Hurulu Eco Park.

Hurulu Eco Park is the closest wildlife option for many Habarana stays. The landscape is more forested than Minneriya or Kaudulla, so the drive feels different: narrower tracks, shade, and a quieter rhythm.

It is a strong choice for travellers with limited time, families who prefer a shorter transfer, or guests who want a safari that still leaves room for a village tour or Sigiriya the same day.

As with every route we operate, the jeep is private and the plan can be adjusted around your hotel pickup, preferred time of day and the rest of your itinerary.
