Very well organized tour. - We did our day trip in December 2023.
We were cruising at that time and were picked up from the port. Everything was organized very well. The cars were waiting for us in the designated area and were easy to find. The car was clean, the driver was very polite, Delicious lunch was provided as well as bottled water.
We saw a lot of elephants and many different birds.
This tour is highly recommended.

Perfect experience! - Our driver was waiting for us with a sign upon arrival. We were driven to the park. Once at the park, we met our safari driver and guide. We saw lots of elephants. We also saw 2 types of monkeys, mongoose, land monitor, deer, peacocks, and more. Highly recommend!

Fantastic service - Our holiday rep booked a safari day for us before we left England. It was an absolutely fantastic day out we hadn’t realised it was a private tour just for us so that was a bonus. Sam the manager rang us the evening before we went to confirm times and drivers name. We had Dinesh who was amazing he picked us up at 5 am and we got back after 6 pm. He pointed out lots of interesting facts on our journey too. We decided we would go to Galle the following week so messaged Sam to see if we could book same driver and not do everything that was on the list and it was no problem. We did Galle fort then silk factory and tsunami museum which was all very interesting. We stopped to have some lunch on the way back to hotel. Would highly recommend this company. If we come back to Sri Lanka again will certainly be using them.
Thank you very much Sam and Dinesh

Better Than WOW - Amazing day with a professional service. We did the morning safari and we were picked up from our hotel on time. Safari was breathtaking. heaps of Elephants and many other animals. It so was nice in the morning than we thought. Our Jeep driver was so cleaver and Jeep was so comfortable too. Then visited Elephant Transit Home before reached back the hotel. Best day of hour holiday. Really worth it. Could not be any better.
