Leopard Safari Tour in Yala National Park

JainaMishraWOVENSOUL, Feb 2026

FABULOUS Afternoon. Saw a majestic LEOPARD

FANTASTIC Experience - Terrific driver. He was extremely alert and very enthusiastic ... eagerly followed the clues and we went back and forth looking for the prized animals. As a result of his determination - and of course a little luck - we did see a full grown male leopard. Also saw an elephant mother with two young ones. And crocs, spotted deer, many birds, many monkeys, monitor lizards... Was a very satisfying trip. One point to be noted though ... somehow, the operator had omitted to send the driver to my hotel by 2.30pm. Knowing the chain - Viator to operator to driver, I knew there might be a slip-up so I'd called up the operator at 1.18pm to confirm. They did confirm and confirmed that someone will pick me up between 2.15pm and 2.30 pm. When no one appeared by 2.45 pm I called again. They apologised and offered to book me for the NEXT day and said it was a technical glitch so they did get the booking. (Clearly this was incorrect as we had spoken) This was upsetting as the only reason to be in Yala for a day was the safari and I could not stay back the next day. However they DID manage to cool me down by saying they will send someone right away and that it was not too late to start. So my final conclusion is that mistakes happen, but the operator did what was necessary to correct the mistake and took urgent steps to make it all work out. I'd recommend a pre-call with booking number and hotel confirmation so that any disappointment is avoided. Am grateful that all went well in the end as it was a fabulous trip.

Request Sri Mal - he is the best!

Our full day yala tour was great, mainly due to our driver and guide Sri mal. He worked very hard to make sure we saw every single animal and we ended up seeing leopards three time, elephants, a bear, water buffalo and more. You can tell he is also passionate about animals which made the whole experience more enjoyable. He constantly checked in to make sure we were doing ok. Couldn’t have imagined a better tour and am very thankful for all we saw! We went on another safari the next day for a different park and the service and experience was not the same. Overall, would recommend this service, but would specifically recommend our guide 🙂
