Safaris tours - We had a wonderful safari trip. Everything was great with our family and friends. The driver dilanka and the guide lakshan really explained everything about the safari to us very well and he is a really helpful guide. We joined two safaris , one in yala national park and the other in wehera national park. We saw animals very well on both safaris. We Highly recommended safari tour.

Thanks! - We had a great safari experience. Our driver Dilan was very nice, helpful, and easy to communicate with. He arrived exactly on time in the morning, and the trip went smoothly. We saw a lot of animals, including leopards, and Dilan always stopped so we could take pictures. He drove safely and made sure we felt comfortable during the whole trip. Everything was well organized and we really enjoyed it.

Dinuka Safari Experience. - The jeep turned up at our hotel exactly as stated and everything went very smoothly. The driver was extremely skilled and we got close to a number of the elephants and even caught a glimpse of an elusive leopard! All in all an excellent experience.

Great experience! - This was an amazing experience, getting up before sunrise to enter the park whilst the sun was coming up. It’s worth the early alarm! We saw Elephants, many many beautiful birds, water buffalo, monkeys, deer, mouse, crocodiles and a leopard sleeping peacefully in a tree! Special thanks to Dilanka our driver, for being super kind and attentive for our trip. We opted for a private tour due to it being Valentine’s Day and he made an extra effort to make it special. Going as far to prepare us a delicious fruit platter to enjoy whilst overlooking the crocodiles, pretty excited breakfast spot! The early ride into the park can get a little nippy so it’s worth packing a light layer just for the morning before the sun fully rises. Would definitely recommend, thank you!

Fantastic experience in jeep safari - Thanks to the tour company and Dilanka. This was my first time on safari abroad. I saw so many animals. Dilanka took good care of me. Even though I didn't see a Leopard, it was so cool...Dilanka tried to contact friends and tried so hard to make me see a Leopard. Thanks again. I will come back with luck.

Yala safari - We had a brilliant time. Dilanka was an excellent guide and tried super hard to track leopards. We didn't see any but that's nature. We saw lots of other wonderful animals including 3 baby elephants

Experience wasn’t that... - Experience wasn’t that great, in the site, it was mentioned that it would be a 5 hours safari starting at 2PM. But the safari lasted only for 2.30 hours and upon inquiry, I was told that only the morning safari’s are for 5 hours. Spotting was moderate with no luck for leopards, pickup and drop only happens from TissaMaharama area which is almost 40 km from the main safari entrance. People staying in other parts and availing this safari, need to come down here in order to be picked up.
