Top Yala National Park Safaris

We had an absolute all-round carefree trip with our super reliable and highly recommended driver Passindu. The day before the tour everything was confirmed in writing again, so we felt well prepared. Pick-up and transport worked perfectly – on time, pleasant and safe at all times. The safari through Yala National Park was a real highlight. We have seen an incredible number of animals: Elephants, crocodiles, numerous exotic birds and even a leopard! Passindu and our jeep driver explained a lot to us on the way and you could tell that they know the area and wildlife very well. The lunch was also great and overall the whole trip was excellently organised. We felt comfortable and safe all the time. Clear recommendation for those who want to experience a relaxed and unforgettable safari!

We had a fantastic safari in Udawalawe National Park in Sri Lanka with our guide Shameera. It was truly an unforgettable experience! Shameera is a very friendly, professional and experienced guide. Especially helpful is that he can also speak German, which makes the tour even more enjoyable for German-speaking visitors. He explains a lot about the animals and the national park and makes sure you find the best places to watch animals. We were traveling with our 3-year-old child and felt very safe at all times. His driver was very calm, slow and careful, which was especially pleasant for us as a family. During our safari we saw an incredible number of animals, including elephants, even a baby elephant, eagles, peacocks, deer, buffalo, crocodiles, warblers and many different birds. Shameera has a very good eye and discovers animals that you would easily overlook yourself. The whole safari was very well organized, relaxed and exciting at the same time. You immediately notice that Shameera has a lot of experience and knows exactly where to find the animals. We can absolutely recommend a safari with him and would go with him again at any time.

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.
