Our guide was very knowledgable and ensured we had time to watch the animals. We didn’t see the leopards but we saw a huge range of wildlife from elephants to the most beautiful birds.

Great tour. Highly recommended. We saw so many different birds and animals. Our guide was very knowledgeable and could answer all our questions. Comfortable ride to Mirissa too.

Everything was as described. The jeep safari was also good, unfortunately when we were there it rained and the elephants didn't come out, but the organizer can't help that.

Sasanka was very patient , gave us information about different animals and birds . Nice lovely personality

Everything was great, we saw lots of turtles and tropical fish! The guides were super nice!
