Unforgettable safaris – absolute recommendation!
Absolute recommendation! 🐘🐆🌿
We spent a total of three weeks traveling in Sri Lanka and went on four safaris with this provider during that time—and that really says it all. We were so thrilled after the first safari that it was clear to us: If we do another safari, then here again!
Both the guides and the jeeps were outstanding. The vehicles are modern, very well-maintained, and comfortable; the pickup and entire organization were absolutely uncomplicated and reliable every time.
However, we were particularly impressed by the experience and knowledge of the guides. You notice immediately that they truly know the animals and their behavior. They often knew in advance which direction an animal or a herd would likely move and positioned the jeep accordingly. As a result, we always had fantastic sightings and the best spots—all without chasing the animals or crowding them.
While many jeeps sometimes gathered in one spot elsewhere, thanks to our guide, we were sometimes completely alone with a herd of elephants and could observe the animals in complete peace. That is exactly how you imagine a safari!
We saw an incredible number of animals and at the same time learned a great deal about them, their behavior, and their habitat. The guides took plenty of time and shared their knowledge with great enthusiasm.
For us, these safaris were definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Sri Lanka. Professional, respectful toward the animals, excellently organized, and with an incredible amount of expertise.
We would book here again anytime and can recommend the provider without reservation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Beautiful day
Super organized. The jeep was on time at the harbor, was in good condition, and our driver arranged the ticket purchase with euros.
Dilanka, our driver, pointed out all the animals to us and even showed us a leopard up close. That was a special experience. We were the first vehicle and had plenty of time to observe the animal. Beautiful memory.

Get close to elephants
The staff were very friendly and helpful, nothing was to much trouble.
From the very start we saw a group of elephants with a baby. The elephants pretty much ingored us and carried on eating and drinking. We got some lovely pictures.
The guide was excellent at spotting other animals from the jeep.
Overall a very good memorable day out.

Udawalawa park and elephant orphanage.
We had a fantastic time visiting the elephant orphanage and watching 35 baby elephants get their morning milk. They were like a bunch of toddlers. Then we went to Udawalawa park and saw lots of elephants , monkeys, deer and water buffalo . Maidu was our guide who was very good . I would definitely recommend this tour.

Great service, great vehicle, great variety of animals
Great tour guide/driver would was very knowledgable about the wide variety of animals and had wonderful customer service. We saw a wide variety of animals and appreciate the effort that invested to ensure we saw as much as possible.
The safari vehicle was brand new and incredibly comfortable - definitely the best vehicle in the park!
Would highly recommend this provider and plan on returning with my daughter ASAP.

Wonderful Safari🐘
Our safari tour was simply excellent. A huge thank you goes to our driver Nawi, who made the difference: He was not only super nice, but also took an incredible amount of time to explain everything to us exactly.
Nawi's experience in particular has allowed us to have an exclusive highlight:
We were able to enjoy two elephants in complete seclusion. The animals passed our vehicle at close range. Just us and the gentle giants🐘

Good value excursion from the ship
Good communication with the company. Good value excursion. Was waiting to greet us from the ship at the gate as arranged. Coach was clean and air conditioned. Took us to a town where we swapped into a jeep. Thought that the park would be a short distance away but there was still another 30-40 mins to go. As we approached, saw 2 elephants - one of which came right up to the jeep and allowed us to stroke him. Amazing. The guide was really good, kept stopping to point out different bird species as well as the red deer, water buffalo, crocs, monitor lizards. Jeep ride was more like an off road experience but very good all the same. Return journey seemed much quicker than the outward journey. Got back in plenty of time for the ship.

Highlight of our visit to Sri Lanka
Had a great day out on this tour. The jeep ride to the national park is quite an experience on its own as you see lots of local villages along the way. The national park is very impressive and very beautiful. We had an excellent guide and once we were in the park he knew exactly where to stop to see lots of wildlife. We saw many exotic birds, monkeys, water buffalo, deer, crocodile, jackal and of course the wild elephants. It was amazing to see the elephants in the wild and so close by to our jeep. The elephant orphanage was very crowded when we visited but is clearly doing good work returning the young elephants to the national park when they are old enough. A great day out highly recommended

Yala experience
This was an amazing trip!! If you love animals you will love this. Our driver was excellent and our guide was well spoken, knew the park really well and could find the animals instinctively!
We had a really authentic lunch and had more than enough time to enjoy it. The area overlooks the beach and had we known that we would have brought a towel to sit on and dry our feet after a walk on the beach experiencing the Indian Ocean.
The ride is bumpy, you need to climb a ladder to get into the jeeps, but it was well worth it!!
