Unforgettable ! - An absolutely unforgettable day on safari with Dilanka! From the very beginning, he did everything possible to give us the best experience, with incredible energy and passion. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see leopards, elephants, and many other animals in their natural habitat.
Dilanka knows the park perfectly and made every possible effort to show us everything there was to see. He took his time, communicated with other guides, changed routes when needed, and always did it with a smile. You can truly feel how much he loves his job and how committed he is to making his guests happy. A magical, emotional experience that we will never forget. I highly recommend Dilanka without hesitation!

Absolutely Great - We had a very lovely day, saw a lot of animals including the bear which is rare to see. Driver (Dilanka Rukmal) was very kind and made sure we saw as much as possible. We are very grateful for this experience and I would totally recommend :)

Great safari tour! - Excellent safari experience with Dilanka! We did the half day tour which started around 5 am and ended at 11 am. Our jeep was comfortable for 6 people. Dilanka was patient and had great insight on where to spot the wildlife. We were fortunate to see so many animals, including a leopard! Dilanka and his team also provided a breakfast that we enjoyed half way through the journey (bathrooms are also located at this rest stop). Definitely recommend for an unforgettable experience!

Great Yala safari tour! - I had a fantastic day with Dinuka Tours and our driver/spotter Shrimal. We saw not one but TWO leopards and Shrimal did all he could to make that happen. He spotted many animals and shared interesting facts about the animals we were seeing along the way.
Communication was good with timely responses to my questions. Everything was well organized.
What a wonderful day in Yala!

Outstanding Company - Outstanding experience from the moment we boarded the vehicle until we left. Our guide Mani was a superb driver and very experienced providing excellent informative advice throughout and had a very keen eye spotting animals which we would have ordinarily missed by the untrained eye. Overall cannot recommend more highly and a must do trip from this superb company.

Safari in Yala - A wonderful experience, I relied on Dinuka Safari and I did very well. Besides we have seen the leopard that is not so obvious. They pick you up if you stay in the area and meal is included. Fantastic.

Love safari tour - a leopard will forever be etched in our memories. Our guide had heard distant alarm calls and made the decision to wait patiently near a shaded rocky outcrop. Minutes later, a magnificent leopard emerged from the brush, stretched, and calmly walked across the road right in front of us. It was surreal-silent, powerful, and awe-inspiring. Seeing a leopard in the wild is a rare privilege, and we were incredibly fortunate. This was the highlight of the trip and proof that Yala offers one

Good safari tour - As a photography enthusiast , Yala was a dream come true. The lighting in the early morning and late afternoon was perfect , and the variety of subject from majesitic elephants to tiny bee eaters was staggering. I managed to capture a leapard stretching on a tree branch , a deer silhouetted by the sunrice , and a stork mid flight.

no value for punctual travellers - we were charged for private jeep and said initially we have to share with two other person, we had kids but still managed to show up at a time decided by the trip manager, but they kept 4 of us waiting including infants for hours because the two other people got late or the jeep which was supposed to carry them got late, not sure what story they built up. All the jeeps went in except ours although we came at 4:30 am in the morning. Very unprofessional it was even after paying a very hefty amount and we returned without seeing a leopard as well
