Absolute recommendation! 🐘🐆🌿
We spent a total of three weeks traveling in Sri Lanka and went on four safaris with this provider during that time—and that really says it all. We were so thrilled after the first safari that it was clear to us: If we do another safari, then here again!
Both the guides and the jeeps were outstanding. The vehicles are modern, very well-maintained, and comfortable; the pickup and entire organization were absolutely uncomplicated and reliable every time.
However, we were particularly impressed by the experience and knowledge of the guides. You notice immediately that they truly know the animals and their behavior. They often knew in advance which direction an animal or a herd would likely move and positioned the jeep accordingly. As a result, we always had fantastic sightings and the best spots—all without chasing the animals or crowding them.
While many jeeps sometimes gathered in one spot elsewhere, thanks to our guide, we were sometimes completely alone with a herd of elephants and could observe the animals in complete peace. That is exactly how you imagine a safari!
We saw an incredible number of animals and at the same time learned a great deal about them, their behavior, and their habitat. The guides took plenty of time and shared their knowledge with great enthusiasm.
For us, these safaris were definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Sri Lanka. Professional, respectful toward the animals, excellently organized, and with an incredible amount of expertise.
We would book here again anytime and can recommend the provider without reservation! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great safari experience!
We had an amazing safari experience today! Our driver Ishan was great. He told us so many facts about all the animals and he was very enthusiastic, which made the entire experience even better. We were lucky enough to see a leopard, but we saw so many other great animals. The pick up and drop off all went as discussed. The included breakfast and lunch were delicious. I would really recommend booking!
We had an amazing experience from start to finish! We were picked up right on time from the harbor, and everything was perfectly organized. The team was friendly, professional, and made us feel very comfortable throughout the journey.
The Yala safari itself was absolutely unforgettable — we were lucky enough to spot a leopard along with many other beautiful animals. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! 🐆🌿
What impressed us even more was their punctuality and care — after the safari, they dropped us back exactly on time as promised.
Highly recommend their Yala safari service to anyone looking for a smooth, enjoyable, and well-organized adventure!

Amazing!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What an incredible safari experience! We were lucky enough to see elephants, crocodiles, peacocks, deer, buffalo, leopards, monkeys, and many other amazing animals in their natural habitat. The scenery in Yala was absolutely beautiful, making the whole trip unforgettable.
A very special thank you to Yasanka, who was fantastic throughout the safari. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had the best possible wildlife sightings while making us feel safe and comfortable. His passion for nature really made the experience even more enjoyable.
Highly recommend this safari to anyone visiting Yala, and if you get Yasanka as your guide, you're in excellent hands!

Yalla safari
We had a great guide. We saw lots of animals. We managed to see a leopard which wasn’t easy. They were very accommodating and offered to bring us back to the park after lunch at no cost if we wanted.

Great tour with leopards and elephants!
Our tour guide Yasanka gave us a wonderful experience of a morning safari. He was kind and patient and his English was great. He clearly knew the park well and all of the right places to go at the right times to avoid crowds and see animals. We saw elephants, leopards and much much more! We didn’t have to wait in any jeep lines, and had a wonderful Sri Laken breakfast with a view of grazing animals in a watering hole. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the animals and the landscape, and made us feel safe and comfortable. We highly recommend a tour with Yasanka!

Disappointing
Five hours tour: one hour from the port to the park, another hour to return, one hour driving inside the park, and two hours sitting in a café waiting for the driver because he said it was the rule that they have to stop between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. What a waste of time!
No one told us, and it’s not written anywhere, that we would have to wait two hours in the only café they want us to stay in. In the end, you don’t see much — just the animals that happen to show up on the park’s main road, which is all we did. Snacks and cool drinks were not given too.

This tour was our...
This tour was our absolute favourite. 2 other couples we were travelling with joined us in this experience. We all climbed up into a tall converted Toyota pickup with 6 very comfortable seats, with plenty of room each and excellent visibility, shaded overhead from the sun. Our driver/ guide, Jacintha, was very considerate over the bumpy tracks in the national park. He stopped and pointed out wildlife and birds and gave us time to watch and photograph before moving on.
We understood that spotting a leopard would be a bonus, sadly we didn't get that opportunity. However we saw so many birds, elephants, crocodiles, water buffalo, monkeys.
On our return to port Jacintha sent me a lovely set of photos he had been taking on safari, beautiful professional ones, to share with the group. We can't recommend him and this tour highly enough. The tour more than met our expectations. We would all do this excursion again on a further visit to Hambantota.

We had a lovely and eventful day. It all worked out great. We were picked up at the port and drove in an open jeep to Yala National Park. At the beginning of the trip we received 1 bottle of water and cookies. The drive to the park took about 1.5 hours. Our drivers already showed us some animals on the drive. ( Monkeys, Carrots...) In the park, too, he went to great lengths. Unfortunately, we haven't seen any leopards. But many other animals. An all-round successful day.
