ウダワラウェサファリ＆象の孤児院ツアー（ハンバントタ港発）

After reading good reviews about Dinuka Safari on Trip Advisor, I had directly contacted Dinuka Sir and set up the Private Safari itinerary as we were going to spend only 5-6 hrs in Hambantota. I had a great experience taking the Udawalawe safari with Dinuka Safari, we had reached Hambantota by Cruise and as informed by Dinuka, the Safari team comprising of our driver/guide Lakshan and Pasidu were waiting for us at the port entrance. They guided us to the vehicle which was an open safari jeep which was well maintained and clean. Lakshan stopped the jeep at every juncture we saw an elephant on our way to Udawalawe, he also answered all our queries, he and Pasidu had good knowledge about the park and the animals housed there. We saw a lot of elephants, Lakshan parked the car pretty close so we could capture them beautifully through our lens, we saw storks, herons, eagles, crocodiles, peacocks, pelicans, egrets, deer, mongoose during the Safari. Lakshan and Pasidu had keen eyes to spot these creatures in their natural habitat. They also bought along binoculars to help us spot far away animals, bottles of water and biscuits to snack on. They also timed our safari trip well so we could visit the elephant orphanage and watch the baby elephants being fed milk during their feeding time. It was indeed endearing to watch these playful baby elephants trumpet their way to get milk from the viewing platform. The elephant walk museum at the orphanage gave us lot of information about elephants which my daughter especially enjoyed. Overall, we had a great tour and would love to return again, I would 100% recommend Dinuka Safari to anyone traveling to SriLanka. My special thanks to Dinuka Sir for prompt replies and calls through WhatsApp.

Unforgettable Safari Experience with Dinuka Yala Safari Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 We had the most amazing morning safari with Dinuka Yala Safari team! We were incredibly lucky to spot a beautiful leopard up close 🐆 This was the highlight of our trip! We also saw elephants, crocodiles, deer, peacocks and so many bird species. Special thanks to our driver - he was excellent! Very professional, patient, and had amazing knowledge about the park and animal behavior. He tracked the animals perfectly and made sure we got the best views. The jeep was clean, comfortable and in great condition. Timely pickup, smooth ride, and they made sure we were safe and comfortable throughout. If you’re visiting Yala, I highly recommend booking with Dinuka Yala Safari. Worth every rupee and a memory we’ll cherish forever! Thank you Dinuka team for making our safari so special 🙏🤍

We started our Yala safari tour with a pick-up service from Hambantota Port. The driver was excellent - very friendly, experienced and professional. The safari was well organized and the Yala National Park was beautiful. We saw a lot of animals and really enjoyed the whole experience. This is amazing to a with baby elephants Highly recommended!"

What an experience to see Elephants roaming everywhere. We also saw water buffalo, crocodiles, monkeys, and many species of birds and we traveled with Mahesh through the park. He took time to stop for photos and get up close. We were thankful he didn’t just go to the easy spots but sought out any private places. The ride was comfortable. We would definitely book Dinuka tours again.

In a word excellent. It went perfectly. We saw what we went to see and more. Our driver was terrific at spotting and, unlike some of the other jeeps on safari in Udawalawe, Dinuka stopped by a water hole for a morning tea and refreshment. We came away thoroughly impressed and have no hesitation recommending Dinuka Safari. The only criticism we make -they need a much larger sign stating the name of the Company in big bright letters. It was not easy finding the company name amongst all the other local operators standing at the gate when we disembarked the cruise ship and, of course if you happen to ask anyone, as we did, they just say "don't know". So, a very large brightly painted sign waving about at the port gate would help immensely. But that is our only criticism. The safari was well worth it and, we are so glad we booked it rather than booking a cruise ship shore excursion.

Dinuka Safari offered a comprehensive & thrilling jeep experience of the Udawalawe National Park followed by the Elephant transit home/orphanage. The cost was not prohibitive and worked out to be good value. Our driver was terrific and a great spotter. We saw more than we expected. We would recommend Dinuka Safari.

Our only goal was to see the beautiful sight of elephants, and our goal was truly achieved. Udawalawe National Park is truly wonderful. Thank you very much for a wonderful safari trip.

I going with Dinuka safari it hos very good service then my gf and me enjoy driver very good we recommend safari tour thanku very our driver Dilka

Normally it is a bit of a risk when booking something via TA, however this time it all went very smoothly. Communication up front was great with all questions answered very promptly and clearly. Pick up from the port gate was on time and transport to the Park was well organised. Even though the driver spoke very little English he was able to make himself understood. He was extremely attentive, polite and friendly, and made sure we were directed to all the correct gates for payment on entry (We used local currency.) The orphanage experience was so cute, but be advised to get there earlier (we arrived at 09.30 and it started at 10.30.) Hoards of other groups arrive later. We then went onto the park, short ride across the dam, and set about our safari ride. We were fortunate to have a very well spoken English speaking guide to accompany us in the jeep. (Many of the other touristds just sat in the back of their jeeps without any commentary on what wildlife they were seeing). Safari was not on the same level as an African one, as species in the park were limited, but there were some lovely sights. Overall extremely well organised. Travel time to the park approx 1 hour 20 mins each way, and a tasty packed lunch provided. Thank you

had a wonderful time at Udawalawe National Park Udawalawe is another great safari destination in Sri Lanka, known for its large herds of wild elephants and stunning natural beauty. It is often less crowded than for a more peaceful experience, it was great experience Did you get to see elephants up close? Udawalawe is famous for its elephant herds, and many visitors are lucky enough to see calves playing with each other or getting a drink from the park’s many waterholes. In addition to elephants, you may also see deer, crocodiles, and various bird species.
