Full recommend - Exceptional Yala Safari: A Must-Do Experience!"
Our Yala Safari experience exceeded all expectations! From the moment we set off with our driver, we knew we were in for something special. His friendly demeanor and expertise made the journey both educational and entertaining. Seeing a majestic leopard in its natural habitat was the icing on the cake. We left with memories to last a lifetime and a newfound appreciation for Sri Lanka's breathtaking wildlife. Don't miss out on this extraordinary adventure!

unique experience - We booked the seven-hour morning safari, which was a unique experience.
Our driver Hicchi was great, we always felt comfortable and he went to great lengths to make sure we saw a leopard.
And indeed, after only 2 hours we saw a leopard at close range.
We would book the tour again and can highly recommend it.

Great experience with Shehan Safari - Good tour with Sasanka. Knowledgeable guide, punctual, and he has a network of contacts who will share locations of some animals. He has good time management. He drives quickly to and from the pickup point/ hotel, weaving in and out of traffic thus saving time and ensuring you have more time in the park itself.

Safari at the top - We had our dream sunrise safari at Yala National Park with our guide Sasanka. Thanks to his patience we had the chance to see leopards in addition to elephants, iguanas, buffaloes, birds, peacocks, warthogs, deer... In addition to his kindness, he taught us a lot about the animals and their life in the park. Thanks again, go for it!

Outstanding safari trip | March 2024 - We were fortunate to have Sasanka as our guide on our safari, and he did an outstanding job. His speed, driving skills, and politeness exceeded our expectations. Not only that, but he also explained a lot to us about the wildlife, which made the experience even more valuable.
Thanks to Sasanka, we were able to witness baby elephants with their herd, leopards, water buffalo, and many other animals up close. His knowledge and skills made the safari an unforgettable experience. We couldn't have wished for a better driver and guide.
A big thank you to Sasanka for his excellent work and for making our safari an unforgettable adventure!

Awesome Safari! Top driver showed us all the animals! - We had the best Safari ever! Sasanka, our driver, picked us up on schedule at 0530 at our hotel. During the Safari he gave us informations about the animals we saw. He was trying very hard to show us all the animals, with success. We were able to see buffalos, crocodiles, elephants, and leopards!!! We also saw so many different colorful bird's. It was way more than we expected, and it was just perfect. Sasanka also managed to always secure a front row spot for us when we encountered all of the above animals, awesome. Sasanka really knows what he’s doing, so he knows where to wait for animals and where they will appear most likely. 10/10 recommend this driver and agency.

Great Safari - Greate Safari! We were lucky and saw plenty of animals (including 1 leopard, 25 elefants, 5 crocodiles, buffalos, peacocks and many other birds, deers). Our guid Yashara was very competent and made sure we saw as many animals as possible. He also arranged us a taxi to Mirissa afterwards. We can definitely recommend this tour.

Fun adventure - Ive booked the Yala National Park tour directly with Shehan and initial responses via email were prompt. As the tour got closer, I wanted confirmation and the driver details and received no response via email for over a week. Switched to WhatsApp instead and got a reply. Overall the safari was good as we saw a variety of animals and birds. We did not see the elusive leopard. Also one thing to note is the tour is unguided. There is only the driver and no explanation of the animals. Set your expectations low and you'll have a good time.
