Amazong safari with great tour guide! - We had an amazing day in Wilpattu Park! We had arranged pickup from Sigiriya which went super smoothly and our driver was very friendly and had a calm driving style. Our tour guide at the park was great as well, very knowledgeable and had eyes like an eagle! I think we would have missed at least half of the animals we have seen without him. He made sure we got to see as much as possible and we even saw a leopard on the hunt. On top of that, we were provided with an amazing lunch, which was completely vegan as we had asked for. All in all, i would definitely recommend this safari, it was 100% worth the money.

Beautiful tour/safari - A great tour with jeeps that roam around the park and show you a large amount of animals of all kinds, elephants, monkeys (beware that they steal your food) buffalo, crocodiles, leopards, snakes and others that make the day pleasant as it is a nice sight! I'd love to do it again.

Good trip to see a variety of animals - Very well organised trip. Driver on time and friendly. Transferred to safari jeeps, guide was interesting and informative. We saw Elephants, a leopard, sloth bear, water buffalo and various other animals and birds. Very long day, but we were regularly given drinks and served breakfast and a lovely lunch. Great communication from company for this trip( I booked it before we came) Would recommend.

Magical safari day trip! - This safari was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, all in a single day. KaNe, the driver who brought me from Colombo to Wilpattu National Park, and back to Colombo was professional and courteous. Upon arriving at the Park I met Jothipala Herath, the guide. Mr. Herath spent the day showing me the park and so many beautiful animals and plants. We saw lots of birds- storks, peacocks, and even a plover- to name only a few. And monkeys, water buffalo, an elephant, a gorgeous leopard, and a sloth bear. Reptiles included two species of turtles, a crocodile, and a cobra. Beautiful butterflies and plants too! As a biologist, the biodiversity within all the regions of the park was breathtaking. Mr. Herath drove the jeep like a pro, and finding the animals seemed to bring him as much joy as it did me. The day was long. With the drive from Colombo to and from the Park, the adventure lasted from 0400-almost 2200, but definitely worth it. Highly recommend this experience!

Disappointing! - The organization in advance was good and the transfer from Sigiriya to Wilpattu was also very pleasant. The safari itself was unfortunately a bit disappointing. We booked the full-day version and canceled it after lunch. Our guide was very friendly and made an effort to find the animals. Unfortunately, however, he did not have sufficient knowledge of English. He could only give us the name of the animals. We had many questions (about the animals, the park, the process) and none of the questions could be answered. Sometimes the driver talked to the other drivers and left us unaware of what it was about. So we stood around several times for over 15 minutes without being told what we are doing here. We then had to ask other tourists what to see here and where to find the animal. So other tourists have taken on the duties of a guide. The descriptions of the guide were also misleading. The communication behaviour of the guides was significantly better in the competition. For this reason, we stopped the safari as it was unfortunately wasted time for us, without sufficient communication. Furthermore, Viator stated that binoculars would be provided. There were 1 binoculars that we had to share with the driver. We assumed that there were binoculars for each participant. Breakfast (toast with curry and boiled egg) and lunch (various curries) was very delicious. 3 stars so because of good organization and great transfer as well as good food and the friendliness of the guide. However, in retrospect we would book another provider, as there the communication is better. Especially for the immense price, I would have expected significantly more. Too bad!
