Marakolliya Beach — Attraction in Southern Province

we stayed here as a recommendation by a friend. it was a great recommendation, our favorite homestay of our trip. the room was clean and had AC. we we were warmly greeted with a mango juice, made of mangos from their own mango tree. one of the nights we opted to eat there, we had a great homemade meal. one of the mornings we took a breakfast there which was an authentic local breakfast

we also booked the full day safari which was a complete package: entree tickets, a great driver/guide a fresh breakfast to go, a great homemade lunch, fruits, cooled water and soda. booking the full day safari gave us pleanty of time to spot all the animals. we spotted a bear, leopard, elepants, deers, monkeys and a few eagles. the driver drove with great care for the passengers and animals. during the safari we also learned about the park, animals and communication of the animals

At some small areas you can only go-in the water and...
