Private Tour : YALA National Park with Experienced Driver/Guide

I don’t recommend this trip. Driver was late 40 minutes to pick us up at 3am, he was unkind, didn’t even say hi. The tour guide on the safari rude couldnt day a word in english. They should be more organized as on the way back we waited 2 hours for one person to come back from safari to drive to the end of a trip. We lost a lot of time.

The company's hospitality is very poor, and they do not understand how to create good client experiences. First of all, the staff's level of English is very bad, as is their knowledge of the park. Furthermore, because they mix transfer shuttles and pick-up trucks, passengers are forced to hold their luggage on their knees. In terms of safety, the vehicles we used had no seat belts, which is highly dangerous and not recommended for the bumpy roads. Additionally, they collect the fee for the park entrance (13,000 rupees) but you never see the official receipt or the real amount they pay for you—just a paper they sign at the entrance. The 9-hour experience involves being on a bus, then transferring to a safari jeep for only about 2.5 hours. The safari itself is nothing extraordinary; you just queue behind 10-15 other vehicles to maybe see something. You will likely see peacocks, elephants, deer, buffalo, and some birds, but that's about it. It was not worth the money. I regret not booking directly via the national park's official government website.

THE WORST YALA SAFARI TOUR EVER - There is hardly much animals to see, people were falling asleep as we drive aimlessly and only saw 1 elephant ! The PRICE for this is absolutely OVERPRICED and so many foreigners have been complaining on the APP - GET YOUR GUIDE (they honestly, don't give a ___ about how S___ the service was) they just want your money and thats it. The main reason why I am complaining, because I know they drop people in the South, but I thought when I paid , I told them I am staying just above the south and I gave them my address as to where I am staying which is not mentioned on the drop-off list... SO IF you know my address why could they have not told me that this is going to be an ISSUE and only tell me this at the end of the tour. sorry we can't take you!!! ARE YOU CRAZY! I have to pay for my own taxi yet I spent so MUCH money on this tour. I spoke to the owner he was a complete nuisance on the phone and did not understand or have any empathy. I then just told the driver to drop me on the random side of the road in the south and had to pay for my own uber. This company is a DAMN JOKE! Honestly, they ruined my day and do not give a _____ if you unhappy.

Great experience, well organized, everything was perfect! We saw two leopards thanks to our driver Asanka! Thank you so much for showing us the beauty and life of Yala!

Superb Company to vist Yala Park. They're experts in ingnore the traffic and drive in private areas of the park, which giving feeling wild life. Good Jeeps. Earliest starting company. We saw Leopard and Elephants too in our Leopard Safari.

I took the safari trip with these guy's and although they were a bit more expensive they were worth every penny. People in other jeeps jusy flying down the tracks and these guys were spotting every little bird and all the animals, stopping everywhete. Had a great day with them. Even manaaged to see a leopard. Highly reccomend then
