Epic day! - We had a wonderful tour with Gehan who has years of experience! Very informative tour and lots of laughs, he is knowledgeable on all of the birds and animals and it was a pleasure to spend the day with him! The food was lovely as well. We were about the 8th jeep in, had some nice down time between 12-2 where we lay on sun loungers and had lunch while the park was closed. Thank you Gehan :)

Amazing safari with brilliant tour guide - We had an amazing time on the safari at Yala. The driver was fantastic and took his time so we could see all the animals, and was very knowledgeable about best spots to find them. The short break for breakfast was also on a wonderful beach where we spotted more elephants. We saw elephants, mongoose, monkeys, water buffalo, lots of birds, deer, crocodiles and much more! Uchich who organised this for us was very helpful and the trip was very reasonable with no hidden charges. Highly recommend !!

Nice experience - Our driver Bhashika was very accommodating and took great care of our concerns. We had a wonderful experience through him we saw some animals among others looking for a few elephants. He tried very hard to make sure we could see everything.

Amazing Service and a Great Safari at Yala National Park - We had a great half-day safari experience at Yala National Park thanks to this company. From the very beginning, they were extremely caring and attentive, making sure we didn’t miss any of the highlights of the tour. Even though the road to our hotel was difficult, they went the extra mile and picked us up right at the door, so we didn’t have to worry about transportation at all. Everything was very well organized and smooth. I would highly recommend this company to anyone interested in doing a tour at Yala National Park.

A Memorable Yala Safari with an Attentive Driver - We also did our Yala safari through the homestay, and it was a great experience overall and excellent value for money. Our safari driver was very attentive and receptive to our questions, constantly checking in with us and asking whether we’d seen enough or wanted to spend more time observing anything. We did feel that the safari was a little rushed at times, but that seemed to be due to how busy the park was and the fact that we went later in the day, rather than anything within the driver’s control. He did his best in very crowded conditions. Overall, we would definitely recommend booking the safari through them - well organised, thoughtful, and very good value for money.

Horrific! - Yala National reserve is a complete mess with over 300 fuel emitting old jeeps racing inside to get the “best” view of the wildlife. The operator of one Flamingoes vehicle purposely blocked a road and the path of a young elephant calf. The calf was visibly distressed and showed signs of stress. The tour operators are basically rowdy locals with no training or awareness on how to conduct safaris. It is unethical and terrifying with cars going dangerously close to animals. It was sickening to see what a messy profit making scam this is. Shame on the Sri Lankan authorities for even allowing this
