An amazing experience with Janaka, You must do it - What a wonderful journey from Colombo. It’s not only the safari we were stopped many places like temple, river and I just got experience of rural life of Srilanka and the the way they enjoy their life, it’s amazing to have this experience through this safari tour. We stopped at lake tissamaharamaya and I was watching the people enjoying the weekend. I’m lucky to see that. Regarding the safari experience it was great to see bears,crocodiles, deers and elephants. I was lucky bcz there were 2 leopards crossing our way and that was unbelievable. I would like thanks Janaka who drove us there and he was informative and really helpful. I enjoyed my day there and this was amazing.

100% PERFECT. More than what you expect, A tour you must do. - An Unforgettable Yala Safari Experience with JK Travels! I had the most incredible experience with JK Travels on their Yala Safari tour! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and handled with professionalism and care. Our driver was punctual, friendly, and very knowledgeable about the area. The safari itself was the highlight of our trip. We spotted leopards, elephants, crocodiles, and so many exotic birds in their natural habitat, and even sloth bears! The driver was excellent and ensured we had the best possible views while also respecting the wildlife. We felt safe, well taken care of, and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. I highly recommend JK Travels to anyone looking to explore Sri Lanka.

Best Experience - The Yala Safari Tour offers an unforgettable wildlife experience in Sri Lanka’s most famous national park. It's best known for its high density of leopards, but visitors also frequently spot elephants, crocodiles, sloth bears, and a wide variety of birds. The guided jeep tours—especially early morning or late afternoon—maximize chances of seeing animals in their natural habitat. The park’s mix of dense forest, open grasslands, and coastal lagoons adds scenic beauty to the adventure. While the park can get crowded during peak season, a good guide ensures a rewarding and informative experience.

Great Experience - The Yala Leopard Safari Tour offers an incredible wildlife experience in Sri Lanka, primarily focused on spotting the elusive Sri Lankan leopard, one of the rarest big cats in the world. The tour is typically well-organized, with comfortable jeeps and knowledgeable staff. However, sightings are not guaranteed, as leopards are notoriously difficult to spot. Overall, it's an unforgettable experience for wildlife enthusiasts.
