Great experience, highly recommend! - My partner and I found the owner the streets while canvassing for tours. After talking to several, we found the best price with him for a full day tour. We were picked up the next morning. The experience was perfect! Our driver was great at getting us to where the animals were and we even had front row seats to the leopard despite a number of jeeps trying to squeeze in to get a good view of the leopard. Some weren’t lucky enough because they were too far in the back. We had a delicious breakfast at the lake and lunch by the sea. I honestly cannot find a fault in our experience.

Best tour guide there is! - Absolutely incredible, with the best driver in the park there is. He made the experience great, providing a good guide round the park and making sure we saw a leopard. We were able to see most of the animals in the park including leopards elephants crocodiles buffalo’s golden jackal birds and more When we initially saw the leopard in the bushes, he had great experience and knew exactly what the leopard was going to do. He got us right where the leopard was going to cross the road, in the end we saw 3 leopards a mum and 3 cubs. We were delighted. Thankyou so much Menaka

Great experience and value for money - This was an amazing experience! We saw lots of animals and Tharindu was great at spotting them for us and getting us there in time to see them. We arrived at the park very early so we were nearly first in! Tharindu was always making sure everyone was happy on the trip. Would highly recommend this tour :)

Brilliant Safari Guides - Both guys were the absolute best! They saved us +3 other people in the jungle when another Safari went very wrong and made an awful experience into an absolutely brilliant one. I couldn't recommend them enough!

Amazing Safari Experience, all animals viewed! - My partner and I had an absolutely incredible experience at Yala Safari today with our guide. He was exceptional at positioning us at the best vantage points to view the animals, and we appreciated avoiding the typical queues of jeeps that can crowd popular spots. What made the day even better was our guide's flexibility after such outstanding wildlife sightings in the morning, he accommodated our request to extend to a full-day safari so we could continue the experience. I highly recommend this safari. It was truly an unforgettable day

Amazing first ever safari experience! - Our guide was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to give us the best experience possible. He was super prepared (even brought binoculars), stayed longer so we could see a leopard, and worked really hard by checking with other guides to make sure we were in the right spots. We also saw an entire family of elephants, which was incredible. You could tell he genuinely cared and put in extra effort. Would 100% recommend!
