December 28, 2021 Veronika Gaddis

The Sabaragamuwa Province, (Sinhalese: සබරගමුව පළාත Sabaragamuwa Palata, Tamil: சபரகமுவ மாகாணம் Sabaragamuwa Maakaanam) is one of the nine provinces of Sri Lanka, the first level administrative division of the country. The provinces have existed since the 19th century but did not have any legal status until 1987 when the 13th Amendment to the Constitution of Sri Lanka established provincial councils. The Sabaragamuwa Province contains two districts: Ratnapura and Kegalle. It is named after its former indigenous inhabitants, namely the Sabara, an indic term for hunter-gatherer tribes, a term seldom used in ancient Sri Lanka. Sabaragamuwa University is in Belihuloya.

The Elephant Freedom Project was the first stop in my 10 days in Sri Lanka, and it was the best thing I could have started with! Everything, from the lovely driver who collected me from Negombo - and stopped along the way to get fresh coconuts, to the incredible hosting family and amazing experience with Kumari the elephant, exceeded expectations. Everyone involved in the project is so respectful of the welfare of Kumari and it was beautiful to be able to spend time with an elephant whilst her keeper (the lovely Kumar) was taking her through her daily cleaning, walking and feeding - rather than seeing an elephant be forced to take rides and be in chains. The coordinator Kasun was also so helpful and informative (plus a great photographer) and I learned so much about Kumari along the way. As a solo traveler, I felt so welcomed as part of the family and highly recommend staying the night - even just for the AMAZING food prepared & lovely company of Ananda, Mali and Shashini. Absolute highlight of my trip to Sri Lanka!!

Reviewed By lllenny

We had a really great Safari with these guys. The driver was able to show us all the different animals one can see in Udawalawe National Park and could also explain us a lot about them. Other jeeps around us would just stop for a minute wherever we spotted animals, while he had the patience to stay longer giving us plenty of time to take photos and video. Also thanks to waiting a while at most stops, the elephants ended up coming very close to us.

I don't even quite remember how I found out about Lahiru (somewhere on Trip Advisor), but I'm so glad we did. I contacted him via WhatsApp literally two days before our safari, and he was immediately responsive and available. Our driver (for the 9-day itinerary -- not Lahiru) was a bit nervous about us using a guide he was not familiar with, but after a quick phone conversation, Lahiru put our driver/guide's mind at ease. Lahiru met us early in the morning and brought us a box breakfast and water. The safari was just my husband and I, which was wonderful. We were able to spend time on the animals of interest, and forego animals that were of less interest to us. He extended our safari by an hour so we could see more elephants (we had seen only a handful prior to the extended hour), and courteously called our driver/guide to ask "permission" to take us for the additional hour. Everything about the safari was professional and enjoyable. I would absolutely recommend Lahiru for safari.
