Pickup
We'll pick you up from your hotel
Pickup is free in Habarana and Minneriya town, because they're right next to the parks. From further away there's a small extra fee to cover the drive. The price is per jeep, there and back.

Money-saving tip: staying far away? Take a taxi or tuk-tuk to Habarana Junction or the Minneriya park gate and meet your jeep there. Pickup there is free, and a car is more comfortable than an open jeep on the main road.
Going to Gal Oya? That park is on the other side of the country, so we meet you near the park instead. Read more.
