This was honestly one of the most fun and memorable experiences we had in Sigiriya, especially for my kids. Our guide is a very friendly young man who clearly loves what he does and his father also joined us during the walk, helping to spot wildlife and making sure everyone was safe throughout the experience.
We saw so much more than I expected including lorises, chameleons, frogs, spiders, fish, flying fish and lots of other little creatures. They were able to spot things in the dark that we would have walked straight past on our own.
Everything was also very well prepared. Headlamps and water were provided and before we started, our guide made sure everyone had bug spray on, so you really don’t need to worry if you don’t have these things with you.
My only advice is to wear long pants and closed shoes. I learned a useful trick during the walk which is to tuck the bottom of your pants into your socks to stop fire ants or other insects getting inside. Also watch where you step, although the guides are constantly looking out for you.
What made the experience special was how personal and genuine it felt. It wasn’t just about finding a loris, we spent the evening exploring nature and discovering all kinds of wildlife along the way. The guides were patient, knowledgeable and really good with my kids.
I would absolutely recommend this experience and especially this guide. It’s also a great opportunity to support a young local guide and his family who are doing a wonderful job. Definitely worth booking!

The walk is a very personal experience where we saw Loris and other wild animals. Pasindu is very welcoming and caring tour guide. He has provided us with some information upfront, some water for the walk and mosquito repellent.

We had a wonderful time at the night safari. The mood was very calm and relaxed. We strolled through the woods for 2 hours and were able to see lots of Loris, a scorpion, some birds, geckos and insects. It was really interesting and Pasindu cared very good for us. I would definetly recommend doing this tour.

I had such a great tour last night! I was the only one but the enthusiasm and passion was still high and we were out for a good 2 hours so no rushing at all, even though we saw a red loris very early into the walk. Saw multiple loris, two of which very clearly. We saw a frogmouth bird with its baby, a palm civet, 3-4 fishing cats and some of your usual night critters. Thank you so much, great tour, highly recommend :D

The guides were so nice! They really tried to show us so many different animals! We walked 5kms so get ready to walk around in the forest. They also provided red headlights and mosquito repellent. We saw a lot of animals. Just don’t expect to see the lori’s from nearby. Tip: wear long clothing.

Me and my partner had an absolute blast!
I didn’t have to high hopes for us to actually see the loris but we ended up seeing 3! And two of them very clearly! And a lot of other cool animals aswel such as fishing cat and Indian owl. You could tell Pasindu and his friendly dad had experience and really loved what they’re doing.
I really recommend this if you’re as passionate about animals as I am.
