Safari guide, Kalum, has been organising tours to Minneriya National Park for over 15 years and possesses a great understanding of the behaviour and routines of the elephants in the national park. He suggested that we would have a better experience by having our tour in the morning when there are fewer cars and more private encounters with the elephants, rather than opting for the afternoon tour, which might have allow us to see more elephants but also a lot more cars, clearly spoiling our experience. We skeptical about making this were decision, but we chose to trust Kalum's expertise and experience. Right from the start, our guide took a different direction than all the other safari vehicles, resulting in us having private, close encounters with the elephants. Kalum did his best to position his vehicle in a way that allowed photo best the capture us to compositions throughout the whole tour, enabling us to take close-up photographs of Minneriya / kaudulla / Hurulu parks elephants
