We took a tour in Yala Park with this provider. It was a great experience and the driver was super nice and professional. Would gladly do it again. We can gladly recommend the provider.
Brautifull and super orgaized tour. We saw so many burfs and never regret doing amazing journey.
The park was very beautiful with many different birds, as well as many elephants and crocodiles. It was very quiet in the park, not many jeeps were on the road. We booked through Yala La Safari Tours. The jeep we rode in was very new. The driver knew exactly what he was doing and could tell us all the names of the birds. The guide is also available in German.
We had a nice evening, the safari went about 4 hours. Many animals (elephants, crocodiles and birds) could be seen. The SUV was new and modern. All in all I am very satisfied
Thank you very much for review
Bundala Park is home to a lot of beautiful birds. We also saw crocodiles and elephants. Best of all, only we were alone with our jeep on site and no other cars/jeeps. The driver was super nice and has a lot of experience. Very great safari for little money! Highly recommended.
An unforgettable experience: Yala La Safari Tours gave me an incredible adventure in the heart of Yala Park. Between the beauty of the landscapes and the diversity of wildlife, every moment was magical. The Guide was extremely competent, showing us elephants, leopards and beautiful exotic birds. An experience that I highly recommend to all nature lovers
