Leopard safari - Easy to organise on WhatsApp the day before.
Arrived at hotel on time so we were one of the first in the park.
Udayanga was a great guide, knew where to go and be one of the first there to get the best view.
Lunch was decent as well!

Definitely recommend - Thoroughly enjoyed our Yala Safari day with Sudu, much more than a normal tour, he made sure that we would be happy with the day and making sure that primarily the animals were happy. Always open to be asked questions about the safari.
Would definitely recommend to anyone thinking of a Yala Safari Day

Far exceeded our expectations - We initially heard mixed opinions on Yala safari but so glad we chose to do it! We had the jeep to ourselves and our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. I could tell he was motivated on getting us there as early as possible with the highest chance of seeing wildlife. We got to see all sorts of wildlife - elephants, native birds, hogs, crocodiles, and even a leopard! We opted for a half day tour which we found was ample time. We definitely recommended this tour guide!

Great Safari in Yala - Great Safari, we saw elephants, leopards, crocodiles and lots of other animals. Out guide was patient, knowledgeable and very good with the kids. The highlight was that he filmed the leopards on his very good camera and we could have that video. So appreciated and special!

Greatest Safari in Sri Lanka!!! Loved it - Seriously loved this experience. Gihan was a 10/10 tour guide. We saw so many animals including 2 leopards. Thanks so much again, the service couldn’t have been better and I am so happy

The best tour to the national park! - We spent the whole day in the park. Thanks to our guide Udayanga, we saw a lot of birds and animals and took great photos. We were lucky to see a leopard twice. Udayanga also prepared a delicious lunch for us.
We liked the trip so much that we immediately booked a tour with Udayanga to another park

amazing tour! - We were with Gihan for this tour and spotted a leopard about 1.5 hours after we entered! He knew what he was doing and showed us leopard tracks before we saw the actual animal.
We were also the first group to see the leopard which gave us an excellent view - and Gihan shifted the jeep very quickly to track the leopard’s movements so we could get the best views. And we did!
This was amazing because we were also here for a full day tour yesterday, with another company, but had no luck spotting leopards. We really lucked out with Gihan today.
Highly recommended to book your Yala Safari tour with this company!
