Great full day safari 🐆🐘 - We spend a full day in the park and had a great time. We were lucky to see all kind of animals, including 3 leopards. Ajiith did a very good job as our guide. He was responsive to our questions and generously shared his knowledge about animals and nature.

Excellent tour with Kasun Lakmal - thank you!! - We did two full day tours on 7th & 8th March this year in Yala with our driver for the day who was Kasun Lakmal. We had previously used Kasun in May 2023 and had no hesitation in getting in touch with him again and once again, he didn't let us down. He was patient and communicated with us at all times and showed us all the animals we were desperate to see which included the elusive Leopard...what an absolute treat. We have recommended Kasun and Ajith Tours to our friends and family. See you later this year Kasun...we will be back!!

We had the best driver, Dillan - We had Dillan pick us up at our airbnb and take us on the tour, you could tell while we were there that he was one of the most alert and quickest drivers. It took us a while to see any significant animals but when we saw a leopard he got us the best vantage point to watch it. He even helped us take photos as well. Highly recommend

Yala with Darshana! - Fantastic experience at Yala. The park is stunning. We were fortunate to have Darshana as our guide: the passion he conveys for his work and his knowledge were what made the experience unique. I recommend dedicating a full day to be able to roam around the park more leisurely, following the less beaten paths.

Fascinating wilderness experience - We went on four different safaris in Yala and Udawalawa with our driver Darshana. Darshana is a friendly, nature-loving, sensitive and alert observer who did an excellent job of introducing nature-loving tourists to the flora and fauna of Sri Lanka. He was very attentive to us on all tours and always responded to our wishes and needs. He is also very committed to nature conservation in Sri Lanka! We would like to take this opportunity to thank Darshana for the fascinating experience in the wonderful nature of Sri Lanka.

Safari at Yala - My friend and I were promptly picked up by Kasun and driven to Yala. Kasun was an excellent guide who ensured we had an optimum experience. A family of elephants was found within 10 minutes of entering the park which was amazing. We drove around looking for other creatures and Kusun would spot animals in the rear view mirror as well as general scouting. Lunch was well planned as Kusun had foldable chairs and a tablecloth whilst other people were sat on concrete benches. The food was plentiful and delicious including a lovely range of fruit. The unexpected added bonus was that Kusun is a great photographer who took some fabulous photos of the animals and shared them with us. I would highly recommend Ajith Safari and Kusun as a guide.

Great experience - Safari in Yala National Park - It was a very special experience. We were out all day (05:30am - 06:00 pm). Our driver and guide was Sakun. He was very experienced and competent. We saw a lot - a leopard in a tree, crocodiles at the small waterfall, in the mud bath, iguanas, countless birds, monkeys and an elephant mother with her child. We can recommend the Wärmstein tour.
