We had a wonderful full day safari at Yala with Bentota Travel Mart, which I booked through Viator prior to visiting Sri Lanka.
It was a 4am pickup from the Riu hotel and Dinesh was waiting for us with a smile; we were driven the 3 hours to Yala in a comfortable car, and water was provided.
A pit stop nearer the park then we were transferred into the safari jeep for the day. It had been raining continuously on the way but cleared as we approached the park.
We saw lots of wildlife in block 5 of the park, the usual blocks for safari are 1 and 2 but these were closed. Elephants, crocodiles, deer, monkeys, land lizards, turtles, lots of birds including several types of eagles, and many other animals too. Sadly the leopard evaded us despite the best efforts of our guide.
Lunch was provided and was a delicious treat in the middle of the park by the river.
We did a full day, it was very long but enjoyable, recommended.

One of the highlights of our trip to Sri Lanka
We were picked up from our hotel on time. Our driver Ishan was polite and his car was immaculate.
We stopped for lunch which was very nice then our Jeep driver collected us and took us to Yala Safari National Park.
It was an amazing day. Our jeep driver showed us many animals and birds. The highlight for us was the 3 elephants. We did the PM tour, maybe if we had done the AM tour we might have seen the Leopard. But our driver scoured the park trying to find them, he did his very best. We loved the ' off roading' in the jeep, it was great fun and showed lots of skill on the drivers part.
All in all a great day, so well organised by this company. I would definitely recommend them.

Yala Safari
We had a very experienced guide and were lucky to see a Leopard really close up. BTM and our driver were really helpful organising our trips as we wanted them , being flexible and professional.

Great value for money.
What an amazing day for the money. Everything was well organised and we were very well looked after. Word of warning though, if you can help it, don’t eat before lunch. The meal they served for 4 people, could have served 7 or 8 people. Also the food was amazing. Take the morning tour as it was a bit warm the time we finished and other people were going out
Value for money 10/10

Leopards!
A very good day out, a nice car and driver to the park, an excellent lunch in the Red House and a superb tour of the park. Lots to see, the leopards though were the highlight of the day!

Fantastic
After a smooth drive and a nice lunch, we set off in the jeep with Tathum as our driver. We weren't disappointed. In a bit over three hours Tathum's excellent knowledge of Yala led us to monkeys, water buffalo, peacocks, elephants, many different birds, and - bast of all - a leopard!
We'd recommend this trip to anyone

Epic Yala Safari
This was one of the best experiences of my life. The best safari in Sri Lanka did not disappoint. I was lucky enough to see three elephants and two leopards. The private tour was fantastic and included the best excursion lunch I’ve ever had. This tour is an absolute must

Amazing safari experience! Do book with them!
We had an excellent experience with Bentota Travel Mart! The pick up and drive to Yala went really smoothly with a nice driver and car. Our safari driver made sure we saw leopards, elephants, crocodiles and many other wildlife.
A magical moment was watching a mother elephant come running over upon hearing her baby's alarmed cries at seeing two peacocks!
Sam at Bentota Travel Mart also very kindly organised our return journey back to Colombo at the last minute when our original plans fell through, again with an nice driver and car.
