Great service ☺️ - We started with Elefant Safari, where we were picked up by our private driver Chamith and driven out to the National Park. Here we were driven around in the Jeep for 5 hours and so many amazing animals, we saw many elephants, buffaloes, paviars, monkeys, crocodiles mf.
After that we had our private chauffeur Chamith for 4 days where we drove around and saw sights. Chamith was absolutely fantastic and provided the best service you can think of. He gets 10 out of 10 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Didn’t see one elephant, we saw loads! - Brilliant tour!
We had an excellent time and everything ran so smoothly. We saw plenty of elephants in their natural habitat doing their thing along with all sorts of jungle creatures. Our tour guide was enthusiastic, knowledgable and kind, with a great eye for wildlife. Lunch was delicious. Overall, it was extremely fun, we recommend it hugely

Incredible - We did the Udawalawe tour and it was amazing. We were picked up at the hotel where we had agreed and taken to the Park. Once there was a guide waiting for us, he had a super good eye and showed us all the animals, we went on a perfect schedule, there were almost no tourists. Very happy.

Amazing time in Udawalawe National Park - We had a fantastic time with Roshan, Yoma Safari and their team. Everything was easy and we really loved how they made us feel from the moment he picked us up. We were under a bit of time pressure and he made sure that there was no stress. Everything was well organised and we felt really looked after. The Udawalawe National Park was great, we saw the elephants in their natural environment, loads of birds, monkeys and baby crocodiles. We could not have had a better time!!! I would highly recommend Roshan, his company and Yoma to make sure that you have a great time in Sri Lanka. We were on a cruise and they really gave us a fantastic introduction to their beautiful country ❤️❤️ We will back 😍

Outstanding trip to Udawalawe safari with Roshan to & from cruise ship - The experience quite honestly was outstanding as we were really looked after by Roshan and his colleagues. He picked us up from the port exit after we disembarked, the drive took us to the Udawalawe national park where we were helped up into a jeep & driven carefully around the park not to frighten off all the wildlife.. We got to truly experience elephants right up next to us as they all fed and interacted, big mum elephants with little ones messing about. A very moving experience that is a must on anyone’s bucket list. Then they got us safely got back to the ship. Throughout we got informed of history and information about the land, people and nature around us, absolutely fascinating & Roshan was so friendly, full of information as well as being professional getting everything going seamlessly. On top of this I am in a manual wheelchair which I told him beforehand, and he still managed to get me up into the jeep with friends helping for an unforgettable experience, thankyou to you all involved, you were brilliant!

Great day - A very well organised trip. We saw lots of
Elephants, including some baby ones. Also monkeys, jackels, lizards, wild pigs, lots of birds. Thanks to Roshan & Driver for a great experience
One thing i like to mention our safari driver said in this forest rarely some days there no much animals come out, this days know by tour operators so contact Roshan before you book a tour then he will tell you about present situation about the forest and arrange everything nicely
