This is a trip to " RIDIYAGAMA SAFARI PARK " we went with my family. This is kind of adventure experience that i got in my life. This Safari park located in Hambantotha. In Sri Lanka first time ever to get a this kind of a experience. In this safari park animals lived in freely and we were taken a round trip from their buses. Also we can go near to the animals but we are not allowed to get off from the buses.
You can find the some lovely pictures i have taken.
