Elephants, sloth bear and a leopard
Our guide Udayanga was the best. We had several amazing experiences with the elephants and also observed a leopard and a sloth bear and avoided the crowds. It felt like we had the park to ourselves . He was friendly and knowledgeable and ensured we had a terrific safari.

It is a long day and an early start but we'll worth it.
The train was amazing got to see he drivers cab and talk to the driver about his years on the train.
Lunch very nice and our driver the best.
The tea plantation was educational wish they had a shop

Fantastic safari at Yala National Park
This tour was fantastic!
Everything worked as planned.
Pick-up on time, the tour guide Damith, was super experienced and that made all the difference.
We were able to see all the must see animals (elephants, crocodiles, many deers, water buffalos, birds and of course the leopards)
We had a great time!
Thanks Damith for the great experience

Great Choice of Safari company
Enjoyed our safari and were disappointed we didn't get to see a leopard. However,,it was not for not not trying. Our guide, Kasun, busted his gut trying to find us a leopard... he was in constant communication with other drivers trying to find a leopard. We did manage to get up very close to several elephants and saw a myriad of other wildlife. Kasun also spoke very good English and gave us a good education on the National Park.

Morning safari with many elephants
The guide was really good, he brought us on different and less crowded roads. We could see many animals and always in a responsible way.
Also, the breakfast was really good, sweet, savoury and fruits.
We haven't been lucky and we couldn't see the leopard but we saw a lot of elephants, even babies, buffalo, crocodile, many colorful birds and other animals.

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 🙂

Great experience!
We had a fantastic full day safari in Yala National Park with our great guide and driver Naja. From the pickup at our hotel until the drop-off, the experience was absolutely tremendous. He was able to show us so many different animals, all of which he could immediately identify in English (which he spoke really well, a pretty rare thing in Sri Lanka in our experience). I specifically want to mention his driving and navigation skills in the park. He was always in full control of the vehicle and the situation, especially when things got a bit more hectic when he was alerted of sightings of leopards and elephants elsewhere in the park. We felt very safe from start to finish. We saw everything we were hoping for and more. Thanks again, Naja, for a day that we will never forget.
