What are people saying about Sigiriya

Jolyn_G, Feb 2026

Amazing Wilpattu Safari – Highly Recommended!

We had an incredible experience on our Wilpattu safari from Negombo. Our guide was exceptional – knowledgeable, friendly, and really made the wildlife experience come alive. The day was long, starting with a 4 AM hotel pickup and returning around 7 PM, but it was absolutely worth it. The drive from Negombo to Wilpattu took over 3 hours, and our driver was excellent – safe, smooth, and very accommodating. The highlight? Spotting not one, but two leopards in the wild! The park itself is stunning and less crowded than other national parks, which made the experience feel truly special. If you’re considering a safari from Negombo, this is the one to do. Incredible wildlife, a fantastic guide, and a memorable adventure from start to finish.

The cooking class with...

The cooking class with Sajee and his wife Suzy was a really special experience, we really enjoyed it so so much and learned so much. Very memorable. We got to make coconut milk ourselves and 7 different Curries and all of them were great. We really liked that all but one were vegetarian. Sajee is very friendly, provides a lot of useful information and makes it a really unique experience. When we needed help booking a car to get back to the hotel he was also very kind to help us.

Rachael_B, Sep 2025

Amazing 👏

Amazing experience. We were given lots of information about the Loris, then we got our head torches and set off. The guides were fantastic and so good at finding them, we saw so many. The guides also pointed out moths, crickets, lizards and a nesting owl. So interesting, we loved it. Be prepared for lots of bugs 🤣
