Highly Recommend Half-Day Safari

Sal_A, Feb 2025
The half day safari was great from start to finish. Our tour guide/driver (Ranga) was very knowledgable of the national park and where to locate all kinds of wild animals. Whilst we didn’t quite see the Leopard up close, we did see it perched on a tree from afar. However, we saw a bunch of other animals during the early morning. The Jeep was comfortable. I would highly recommend the half-day tour, as during the hot parts of the day, the animals are sleeping or seeking shade, so full day seems somewhat of a waste of time. No hassles tour, operated very efficiently.

Great sunrise safari

Very fun morning for the sunrise safari! We saw so many animals including the elusive leopard! Would definitely reccomend

Wow!

We had an amazing day with Amila! He was so accommodating and worked hard to find all the animals. We saw a leopard and a sloth bear, which is the most rare animal in the park! 4:30 am pick up is early, but worth it. We did the full day tour and honestly, I think that just the morning would have been adequate. It makes for a long day for the guests and the tour guide! I would highly recommend booking this tour.

Super experience

Super organisation, prise de contact directe par le prestataire qui vous guide en permanence. J’ai changé 2 fois de dates sans problème. Ensuite le guide s'est démené pour nous montrer un maximum d’animaux même si nous n’avons pas pu voir de leopards. Je recommande l’experience avec ce prestataire.

Überteuert und Eintritt nicht inkludiert

Andrea_B, Jan 2024
Im Preis hier war der Eintritt in den Nationalpark nicht dabei. Das war kleingedruckt ganz unten zu finden und hat zu Diskussionen geführt. Wir mussten dann zusätzlich einen überhöhten Preis zahlen und wurden dabei übers Ohr gehauen. Ich wollte das mit dem Online Ticket vorher erledigt, nur leider sind dadurch mehr Unannehmlichkeiten entstanden.
