Great experience - achieved exactly what we expected. - The operator was very knowledgeable, he understood the assignment when he said our target is to spot a leopard and he took us right to it. It was a good experience overall, it was our third time with the same driver and will surely come back next year again.

Great Safari for Wildlife Photography - I did a Yala safari with Sri Lanka Yala Safari mainly for photography, and it was a great experience. The guide understood my needs and took time to position the jeep properly for good shots. We saw elephants, birds, and even a leopard, which was amazing for photos. The driver was patient and didn’t rush, which really helped. Highly recommend for anyone interested in wildlife photography in Yala.

Fantastic experience with lots of animal sightings - Fantastic safari experience! We saw 2 leopards (one crossed the road near us!), a family of elephants including a young tusker, herds of spotted deer and sambar deer, 2 crocodiles, an owl and a hornbill, few hares and eagles. Guide was very friendly, showed us all the sights and gave us brief explanations too. Beautiful Yala!

Yala Safari Experience - We had an incredible experience. The vehicle was comfortable, and perfectly suited for the rugged terrain of the park. Our driver was not only skilled and safe but also very knowledgeable about wildlife, which made the entire safari even more exciting.

Great safari! - We had a great safari all alone! We booked a full day safari through our accommodation “Yala Hideaway” and were then picked up by our driver and even had breakfast and lunch included in the national park.
