Amazing - Our safari in Yala National Park was absolutely unforgettable, thanks to our amazing guide Su. Right from the start we could tell he has years of experience. He took great care of us, involved us in every decision and made sure we got the most out of the trip. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife and, in the end, even a leopard. At first the leopard stayed hidden, but Su’s persistence and deep knowledge of the park made the sighting possible. We honestly couldn’t have wished for a better guide.

Recommend - Great driver, Leopard sighting and delicious Sri Lankan meals - Really enjoyed the safari! Our jeep had four people, and while the vehicle was similar to others, it was comfortable enough. The driver was very kind, spoke perfect English and provided explanations. Despite not having a dedicated spotter (most groups didn’t seem to have one), he was clearly very skilled at spotting animals, and we were lucky enough to see leopards! Breakfast and lunch (both Sri Lankan) were tasty and plenty. Water was provided, and there was one binocular for the group. Only downsides, two people were on a half-day tour, so extra driving wasted time to get to/from park entrance. Driver was super fast but also very skilled one. It sometimes allowed us to get ahead in queues. Additionally, tips are not included and they were implied to be mandatory Overall, highly recommend!

Yala Safari - We had so much fun on our safari! The guide was very knowledgeable and very good at spotting the different wildlife. He was one of the fastest and most skilled drivers we saw on the road. The food was also very delicious. Note that the park closes from 12-2 so there is some downtime after lunch. Thank you so much!

Go with the best - What an amazing day! Damith, our amazing tour guide really pulled out all the stops to ensure we had the best day. There are lots of trucks in Yala and they really aren’t all as good as Damith. We were so glad we’d researched and gone with him - he was in constant contact with other guides to know where to find the best wildlife and avoid the crowds. He really understood the animals and knew when to give them their space. Very respectful and also a great host. I thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone.

Unforgettable Safari - What an amazing experience! Thank you to our driver - Sanju - who was patient with us when we wanted to stop and take photos. He was very knowledgeable, great English and persistent when finding animals. I'm still on a high from seeing 2 leopards. I would highly recommend, we saw loads of animals (all the main ones apart from the bears I'd say) amd we left very happy! Thanks again

Best money ever spent - Incredible experience! We saw, respectfully, elephants, buffalo, mangoose, monkeys and other animal. At the end we also saw a leopard only thanks to our driver, Janaka, and his skills. So grateful for this experience, so grateful to Janaka!

Great full day Yala - Early morning start, great driver and sought out the best that is possible! Ofcourse you go in the line for a leopard sighting, there were also a lot of moments were we drove around and spotted other animals whilst driving solo! Seen two leopards, two slothbears, many elephants, deers, lovely birds, jackals and many more. Also, the service and food was the best, you get a good breakfast and lunch and can ask al the questions you want.

Su is a very experienced guide who deserves 5 stars. - Su our Gide was very experienced and had shown and explained us a lot and guided us well through the park. He had even found a leopard eating a monkey in the bushes. As for Su, the Safari would have earned 5 points. However, the number of jeeps registered in the park is far too high. We already have experience with safaris in other countries. Since it was still raining, there were traffic jams, which I know mainly from after-hours traffic in big cities.
