Enjoyed my experience with my girlfriend booked the half day and regret it as I should’ve booked the full day it was that great honestly! Malith Vidura aswell great tour guide knew every detail part and explained to us eveything definitely would recommend
Excellent journey with a knowledgeable and experienced driver Mr. Theekashana. We took the evening safari at 3pm and morning safari at 6 am and had the opportunity to see all the animals in Yala viz., bear, deer, leopard, crocodile, elephant, mongoose, water buffalo. Many other birds and small animals like iguana and tree lizards were also spotted. The driver/guide had excellent eye and driving skill and was patient enough to let us click umpteen pictures at our will.
The tour met all our expectations. We saw leopards and monkeys. The driver was friendly and helpful and spoke English. His name was Ruvindu. Good value for money, would highly recommend.
My friend and I are both 22 years old and are backpacking around South East Asia. During our stop in Sri Lanka we went with this company for our Yala Park tour as it was recommended to us by a friend. It was very easy to book, the tour guide was incredibly friendly and had a lot of information to give during the tour. The drivers were also very friendly and made the experience very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend going with this company.
A wonderful guided Safari in Yala National Park. Vehicle was very comfortable and spacious and the tour guide was both very friendly and knowledgeable about all the species spotted. It exceeded our expectations of the animals that we were able to see even only doing a half day tour.
We had as awesome safari experience with vidura yala safari tours. We did two half days (one morning and one afternoon) which worked perfectly for our friends of 0. (03adults) our driver ruvindu was very knowledgeable about all of the animals and in particular the birds.He was very patient with my friends taking lot of photos and help out by positioning the jeep for great lighting and spotted so many birds we never would have seen.we saw two leopards on our final day and many great elephants.so we highly recommend vidura yala safari tours jeep service and driver ruvindu for your safari experience.
