A great day out - Excellent guide and tracker, had a fantastic day tailored to our requests. Food was fabulous and eaten in stunning rest camps in the park. Be aware some roads are inaccessible due to floods late last year. Would highly recommend this safari!

Fantastic - Everything was perfect : pick-up/drop-off from/at hour hotel in Anurâdhapura, delicious meals (breakfast+lunch) and safari of course. Our driver was excellent at spotting animal and we received all necessary information from the accompanying people (Goalma Wilpattu safari owner and a guide assistant). To be recommended without hesitation!

Great safari at Wilpattu Nationalpark - We went on a full day Wilpattu safari today. We left at 5.30 am and returned at 5.30 pm. Anil, a friendly man, was organising everything perfectly. He dropped us at Wilpattu where we climbed into the jeep to go into the park. Our driver was a very good one and spotted a lot of animals. We have seen one elephant and a leopard from far, many deers, crocodiles, monkeys, a variety of birds and a sloth bear. When we exited the park, Anil was already waiting for us. We definitely recommend this tour.

Great first time experience! - It was my first time going on a safari and I really enjoyed the experience. We were picked up early in the morning by Anil and driven to the part, where we met the safari jeep driver. The driver was very friendly and took his time to show us different areas of the park in search of wildlife. We were lucky enough to see leopards and elephants, which made the day feel very special. Definitely recommended!

Too bad - Am a bit disappointed, had booked this full day safari all inclusive with addition from Anuradhapura. I then assumed that the transfer was also there. This tour cost a lot more when booking than when picking up directly would have been in the immediate vicinity. Has already been booked and paid 3 months before. My plan was as we made a round trip and the pick up was in the early in the direct vicinity of the national park (4 km) which we can drive right after the safari to Anuradhapura. We were also taken away with a further payment of the equivalent of 24 euros (9000 SLR). The driver didn't even have a detour as he lived in Anuradhapura himself. Upon request it was said that transport to Anuradhapura would be possible but not included. Then please also omit the additional locations if the transport is included in the immediate vicinity anyway. The tour itself was good, our driver was always trying to make sure we saw as many animals as possible, which he managed to do.
