Fun Safari with Elephants!

We had a great experience in the wildlife park with our guides. They were very knowledgeable about the park and took us to many different spots to see animals including crocodiles, birds, water buffalo, and of course, elephants! The tour was well managed and we had an easy time communicating with the guides as well as the company. In the future, it would be good if the guides spent some time reviewing the rules of the park with visitors. We also wish that the jeeps would not get as close to the elephants, as it can cause them stress. While this was not an issue specific to our tour (all of the jeeps from other companies did the same), more elephant-friendly practices would be appreciated.

Great safari experience!

We booked with Gimhana through WhatsApp. We was our guide and driver during our safari in Udawalawe. The contact beforehand was great. During our safari, Gimhana was able to tell us a lot about elephants and other animals we saw. We saw a lot of elephants (30+) We had a great time!

Thank you Dineth! The best guide!

We had the most incredible experience on our safari today with Dineth. He was extremely knowledgeable, so funny and kind and he also knew all the best spots to take us to. We were able to see baby elephants, crocodiles and more! Dineth answered all of our questions and really made the whole experience for us - we were so lucky to get him as our driver and guide. Thank you so much Dineth! Highly recommend to anyone looking to go on safari!

Wonderful way to see the parks!

We used this touring service on three different occasions while visiting Sri Lanka. On our Safari through Udawalawe National Park we encountered so many elephants, and elephant families. Our Jeep safari driver provided all of the transportation from start to finish and was able to point out so many different park animals, as well as those outside the park. We used the same company for our taxi to and from Yala National Park, and for the Yala National Park Safari. They didn’t disappoint. There they helped us spot two leopards—an experience that is never guaranteed given the leopard’s reclusive nature. Our taxi driver, Dharu, was like a tour guide—explaining the customs and values of the Sri Lankan people, as well as helping us spot wildlife along the way. He was a safe driver and that meant a lot to us. Our taxi experience was so good that we requested Dharu from the same company to taxi us to other must-see locations on our third day. The entire day was rich in education as well as adventure, as Dharu led the way. I can’t recommend this company enough!

All round great time.

Had the absolute pleasure of having Gimhana show us around for a afternoon safari! He was super friendly, knowledgeable and just made our experience that much better. Got to see some very cool animals and bird life. He Took the time to explain and answer any questions we had. He picked us up from our accommodation and parks fee included. No stress. I highly recommend 👌
