Amazing Safari-tour! - We went on a safari in the morning with our guide Hishan, who was fantastic! Hishan drove us safely around the park, and we managed to see elephants, a leopard, monkeys, crocodiles, and more. He was an excellent and nice guide! We were very happy with our tour and highly recommend going with Shehan Safari!

Wildlife galore - What an amazing place. So much wildlife and with the right guide its a great way to pass a few hours. Our guide seemed to have x-ray vision and he went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience. Animals and birds galore with a Leopard sighting too. A pit stop at the beach was beautiful, what a wonderful location.

Sri Lankan Safari - Dana oso ondo.
Sasanka oso atsegiña eta saiatua.
Leopardoak, elephanteak eta abere ugari.
Oso gomendagarria, 20 euros bakhach. LKR n eskudirutan ordaindu behar da.

Boring - Make sure you go with an empty stomach. Very dusty and hot and drivers are just driving around under they find an animal here and there... we saw elephants buffalos deers crocodile and birds. After finishing you just want to scrub yourself in the shower for an hour!. Although it was a protected national park ther are so many jeeps there the pollution was suffocating and polluting the park with those poor animals that just want to be left alone in their habitat

must do experience - what can I say except disappointed. It was a wet & miserable day and our guide stopped for EVERY peacock he saw, yet when there were buffalo or deer he kept driving. we have peacocks in Australia!
DIDN'T see a leopard which was the highlight of the safari.
they were in a hurry to get out by 6pm but the safari stated 6.30 then trying to go to the toilets in complete darkness was another safari!

Horrible service- no refund, no accountability - Nobody came to pick us up as scheduled. We called multiple times — no one answered. We requested a refund immediately, and it’s been over 3 weeks with no response and no refund. Completely unprofessional and unreliable.
Not recommending this at all. Avoid.
