An unforgettable Safari - We had a great experience on our 4hour safari. It was perfectly organized and comfortable. We even had the drive from ahangama organized and Amal was a very kind driver. Our safari guide Navil was so knowledgeable about the park and its wildlife, and he shared so many fascinating insights about the animals and their behaviors.

A wonderful safari, couldn’t be better! - The Safari was a special highlight of ours! We saw like 8 or 9 elephants, lots of crocodiles and other animals. Our Driver/Guide Nawi was super nice and knows all the good spots for seeing animals. He has great knowledge of the animals and the area and gave his best efforts to get us as close as possible without disturbing the animals. Also worth mentioning was the communication with the business owner. We texted him on WhatsApp and he was really nice and fast to reply. He helped us not only with booking the safari but also other questions we had for our stay in Udawalawe. The Accomodation he recommended us is the best we had in Sri Lanka. We thank them very much for a wonderful time in Udawalawe.

Private tour in the Udawalawa with Neveen - The communication with the company was great and fast. Very polite and transparent with the prices and location. We paid 35.000 rupees for the private tour (car, driver and entrance fee) The driver, Neveen, was great., very friendly and keen on finding the best spots for elephants, crocodiles, bulls watching! I would definitely recommend the company and the driver Neveen.

Professional service and knowledgeable guide - A very professional service from the booking to the hotel transfer. Naveen was a very good driver and knowledgeable guide. He stopped and showed us many animals and birds hidden in the undergrowth and trees that we would not otherwise have seen. A highly recommended company, tour and guide !

A day to remember in the wild - The view was absolutely breathtaking. Our guide Naveen made the experience even more incredible – he was driving, coordinating with other guides, and spotting animals all at once, even those hidden in plain sight. Thanks to his sharp eyes and guidance, we were able to see a wide variety of wildlife: elephants, monkeys, crocodiles, buffaloes, deer, peacocks, and numerous bird species including hawks. We were especially lucky to encounter more than 30 elephants during our tour – a truly unforgettable moment. A heartfelt thank you to Naveen for making this day so special.
