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.

Amazing nightsafari

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.
