Amazing elephant and leopard experience with Sujee - We had a fantastic afternoon with Sujee driving. He spotted wonderful wildlife and birds that we wouldn’t have seen without his expertise. Saw lots of elephants close up, in scrub land and even swimming in the lake. It was truly amazing. Sujee even spotted a rarely seen leopard about to cross the road, stopped the engine at a distance and the leopard crossed in front of us so we got amazing photographs.

Amazing Safari - Rathnayaka was amazing, we started a bit early to beat the other jeeps which was a smart move. Once in the park Rathnayaka spotted bird life and other animals that i never saw. We spent a wonderful time just watching the elephants doing their usual habits (eating grass) and socialising. The time watching the elephants was just so special, and moving to see such intelligent and wondrous animals in their natural habitat. An amazing experience i will treasure always. Thank you Rathnsyaka

A fantastic experience - Fantastic Safari, our driver spotted lots of birds and wildlife and allowed us plenty of time to take photos and just watch the animals. We had a magical time when a bull elephant approached our jeep and stood very close looking us over - An amazing experience. Highly recommend
