コロンボとニゴンボ発ヤラ国立公園プライベートジープサファリ

It was a disaster, the driver who picked us up had too few seats in the vehicle, so we had to go to his house first so he could install another seat. Time lost 1 hour After that, three sat on two and the 4 hours. Lang. Booked was for 8 adults people with lunch, snacks and water. We only got snacks after four hours no water and no lunch. This excursion lasted from 8:30 am to 10:45 pm without lunch without dinner. Booked was a vehicle in the nature park for the entire group of 8 people we got two vehicles. Binoculars incorrect display although included in the price. The only thing we got right coconut tried the red bananas have gone down. We booked the whole thing for the group a German guide and again misrepresentation. We got it in English. We tried to clarify the whole thing with the given contact right away, unfortunately he refused our call all the time and only after we already on the way back around 9 pm he sent us a WhatsApp message asking if we should have what problems we should call him he would take care of the problem. The park is great, but not with this tour.

Stay away from this operator . No safety equipment on when we got bogged in mud . Dangerous situation in the park . The tour started nicely with a good safe drive from Colombo . Transferred to a very very old 4x4 and headed to the park. After about 40 minutes the 4x4 got bogged . Sure that happens , unfortunate but it happens . What happened next was unacceptable . There was no winch rope on board that was in working order . It was metal rope tied together ( see pictures ) . We waded out through the mud after being covered in sprayed mud and water in the vehicle ( see pictures ) . The tyres on the vehicle had next to no tread on them so getting out was near impossible . We stood in the blazing sun for almost an hour , thankfully we encountered no animals !!! We are too old to run from them . Eventually we hitched a ride with another vehicle that we had to pay them to take us from the park back to the town . Lesson learned that cost ( $808 aud ) does not guarantee a good service . Communications before writing this review with the company provided little satisfaction . Viator have given us 10% refund as a token I guess . I am surprised that they support such a company that provide unsafe vehicles . The drive back to Colombo was again satisfactory although we were pretty exhausted and traumatised by this point in the day .

Phenomenal trip to Yala! Glen was a great driver and got us to the park in plenty of time. We were fortunate enough to see elephants (including a baby elephant!), cheetahs, iguanas, and crocodiles. The safari car itself was comfortable and had big seats and a cover to protect from the sun.

It is a long but scenic drive from Columbo to Yala, and our driver made the ride easy and informative. Thanks Vidu! The park ride is an adventure in open topped safari jeeps and can be dusty so bring along water and sunscreen. But the animals were great and though we did not find a leopard on our afternoon safari we saw allll the other things and lots of amazing birdlife. Vidu our driver was super accommodating of our schedule and turned lunch into dinner for us so we could get into the park quicker. Then took us to a great local place for hoppers on the way home, which made for an extra special experience. Definitely recommend this trip if you are wanting to see the wild life of Sri Lanka, and would recommend Vidu as a great driver. anytime you need to go anywhere!

Vidu and Gihan both delivered exactly what they offered. Comfortable modern vehicle with a safe driver arriving exactly on time. Yala was 2.5 hours from Bentota but the time was filled with excellent information regarding Sri Lanka and its varied climates. We began our four hour Safari at 7am and it lasted four hours. We saw Elephants, boar, deer, crocodiles, buffalo, eagles and numerous birds. We saw the back of a Leopard but the issue with this was the number of people wanting to see the same thing . The number of other vehicles and their guests made it impossible to see but otherwise it was a great day. We were taken to a local restaurant and given a selection of local dishes and it was very enjoyable. There are many shady operators and this company are not one of those. They offer so much more …

This could not have been better organized....this is theeeee Safari experience you want in Yala!!! I got picked up at my hotel in Colombo and comfortably transported to Tisse where my safari guide was already waiting for me in the safari Jeep....my guide was really knowledgeable and tried hard to make sure I got to see all the highlights...we saw elephants crocodiles a leopard wild boars peacocks... mongoose monkeys buffalo lizards deer and more....I am beyond happy with this experience....it deserves a 20 out of 5 stars!

A great tour with a superb driver. Would 100% recommend! The driver was accommodating and tailored the tour for us to have the best experience.

A fantastic experience. Especially Roshan, the driver, who gave exceptional service. The drive was smooth, with comfortable seats, good air conditioning and excellent music during the journey. We had some extra time before the safari started so Roshan also stopped by a couple of temples and a picturesque lake so I could spend some time there. He also bought samosas for breakfast and some fruit for the drive back. We stopped at a restaurant for lunch which had a nice selection of local and international food. The safari itself was great - my safari guide managed to find a leopard within the first hour. It was an excellent day trip, highly recommend it!

Vidu was a great driver and coordinated the trip very well. He provided great driving to and from Yala, and went out of his way to get me red bananas to try and lunch. Thanks for a great visit to Sri Lanka. Saw elephant (see baby elephant photo), leopard, crocodiles, many types of birds, and more!

Great tour and my guide Vidu was excellent. A lot of times the success of these tours definitely depends on the quality of the guide and in this case I couldn't have been luckier to get Vidu. The national parks of Sri Lanka are excellent. There is a ton of wildlife and I'll have memories of this tour for the rest of my life.
