Thankyou for the amazing service. Mr Dilanka is very professional - well explained each & every animal and that was very funny ride. He driven safely. Again Thankyou for your service hope to go again with you ! 💚
We did two full-day safaris with this company, and wow did we make some unforgettable memories. From the beginning, the communication was great - including a phone call to go over details with recommendations. We wanted a quieter experience, and did a full day safari with Lakshan in Yala Blocks 5/6. Incredible, quiet, uncrowded. He was so kind and knowledgeable, teaching us about animal habits, calls, and tracks. Plus, he had an incredible eye for spotting birds. Our second day, we went with Dilanka to the popular Yala Block 1. It was crowded to enter and at some popular animal sightings, but he also made sure to tour us around the park where it felt uncrowded. He made every effort to get us to see leopards - and we were very lucky for an amazing experience. The vehicles were safe and comfortable. The breakfast and lunches were great. And every effort was made to accommodate our wants. We would happily use Dinuka Safari again in the future.

Do not search for another Safari provider! An amazing experience! These guys certainly know what they’re doing. We managed to see elephants very close-up the leopards, a leopard the following day on a half day Safari, crocodiles, lots of monkeys , water buffalo, mongoose, and a huge variety of birds. They know where to go, where to look, and certainly delivered the goods. A better Safari you will not find.

We had a great morning safari with Lakshan. He was amazing and I think we saw almost everything the park has to offer including the leopard. We had a great view of a leopard in a tree staring right at us. Breakfast was delicious and Lakshan picked the best spot to sit and eat it. I can absolutely recommend this tour. They organises a private tour for us as we had the kids and it was super comfortable. Thank you.

An absolutely unforgettable day on safari with Dilanka! From the very beginning, he did everything possible to give us the best experience, with incredible energy and passion. Thanks to him, we were lucky enough to see leopards, elephants, and many other animals in their natural habitat. Dilanka knows the park perfectly and made every possible effort to show us everything there was to see. He took his time, communicated with other guides, changed routes when needed, and always did it with a smile. You can truly feel how much he loves his job and how committed he is to making his guests happy. A magical, emotional experience that we will never forget. I highly recommend Dilanka without hesitation!

We had a very lovely day, saw a lot of animals including the bear which is rare to see. Driver (Dilanka Rukmal) was very kind and made sure we saw as much as possible. We are very grateful for this experience and I would totally recommend :)

Excellent safari experience with Dilanka! We did the half day tour which started around 5 am and ended at 11 am. Our jeep was comfortable for 6 people. Dilanka was patient and had great insight on where to spot the wildlife. We were fortunate to see so many animals, including a leopard! Dilanka and his team also provided a breakfast that we enjoyed half way through the journey (bathrooms are also located at this rest stop). Definitely recommend for an unforgettable experience!

I had a fantastic day with Dinuka Tours and our driver/spotter Shrimal. We saw not one but TWO leopards and Shrimal did all he could to make that happen. He spotted many animals and shared interesting facts about the animals we were seeing along the way. Communication was good with timely responses to my questions. Everything was well organized. What a wonderful day in Yala!

Outstanding experience from the moment we boarded the vehicle until we left. Our guide Mani was a superb driver and very experienced providing excellent informative advice throughout and had a very keen eye spotting animals which we would have ordinarily missed by the untrained eye. Overall cannot recommend more highly and a must do trip from this superb company.

What an amazing experience. We saw plenty of Elephants plus many other animals all in their own natural surroundings, plus a lunch stop at the beach. Our driver was so knowledgeable and really enhanced the experience. Totally recommend.
