Do I Need Insect Repellent for Minneriya National Park?

Insect repellent is sometimes helpful at Minneriya. It is most useful after rain, around damp spots, and in the later hours.

Still, insect numbers can change a lot. Because of this, many visitors do not need extra protection beyond regular travel insect repellent.

On most game drives, you stay in the jeep for the majority of the trip. You are not usually walking through thick plants.

In many cases, putting on a regular travel insect repellent before you leave works well. This is most true when insects are out and active.

If you are travelling with kids, read the label to check whether it is suitable for their age and how to apply it. Try not to spray repellent near animals. Also, do not use aerosol sprays when the safari is already in the wildlife viewing area.
