The most amazing day doing an elephant safari at t The most amazing day doing an elephant safari at the Habarana Eco Park!! We saw at least 50 elephants, including loads of babies which were sooo cute 😍🐘

The elephants are wild there and so you have to be careful, even though they seemed pretty chill with us and came super close to our jeep! 

We had a private jeep with a driver who picked us up and dropped us back at our hotel, all for $20 USD each 😳😍

Sadly I won’t be flying business class, but I will be experiencing Qatar airlines for the second time! From what I can remember when I flew with them from Auckland - London back in 2017, they were amazing!
