Amazing Safari Experience - We did a private safari in Kaudulla National Park and it was a fantastic experience. The organization by the agency was excellent; punctual, friendly, and very professional.
We saw a large herd of elephants in the morning, which was truly magical. They also recommended doing the safari around midday to avoid the busiest hours, and it was the perfect advice, there were only two jeeps in the whole area, making it peaceful and special.
I fully recommend this agency for anyone looking for a well-organized safari with great service.

Great tour - Great Tour - very nice guide
Spotting lots of birds, pelicans, an owl, eagles, deers, elephants, 3 different kind off monkeys, etc.
Making all stops possible and offering to take as much time as needed
Highly recommended!
The owner is also very friendly and helps organizing Tuktuk tours and taxi transfers for good prices!

We had an unforgettable elephant safari! 🐘✨ - We had a fantastic tour! Since we started in the morning, we were almost alone in Kaudulla National Park. We have seen sooo many animals, not just elephants. our guide was just great: punctual, very friendly and with a lot of knowledge that he imparted excitingly and understandably. He brought us closer to the animals and nature.
An absolutely unique experience that we can only recommend. Thank you for this special day! 🙏🌿

A charming and respectful tour - We stayed one morning on the Minneriya safari.
After booking our guide was super helpful in contacting us to agree on various logistical issues, offering to pick us up.
Appointment in the morning, the car was in good condition just washed and we left on time.
Our guide, a young boy, was very good: welcoming, very respectful of nature and especially animals and helped us see a lot of animals, especially birds that we had missed.
We drove for a couple of hours in the park and the meeting with the elephants was very exciting and very peaceful, he wanted to turn off the engine of the jeep at every opportunity to make us feel good the peace that reigns around these animals.
For the price paid we were super satisfied, you see that there is the commitment and seriousness to try to give you the best experience possible and so we highly recommend!

Great experience! - It was one of our strongest experiences in Sri Lanka, we were picked up from the hotel and were traveling alone with a vehicle. The guide also pointed us to smaller animals and explained a lot about it to us. The highlight was of course the 80 to 100 elephants. After the safari he drove us to our next hotel in Nilaveli- Beach.

Perfect safari - They recomended us to go to Kaudulla National Park instead of Minneriya and do the safari at 11H instead of 13H and it was a total succes. We enjoyed te elephants with no other vehicles around, and the two guides were super aware of other animals hidden in the trees. We recomend this safari because they have a lot of knowledge of the zone and they give you a complete experience.

Super safari - This tour operator is phenomenal. Because he knew the original park was fully booked we went to Kaudulla. He had arranged for a ranger who had an eye for detail and time. We've seen whole herds of elephants, lots of different small mammals and birds of all shapes and sizes. It was a great safari. You can't get any better.
