Usually I am the person, who always find something for complain. But for these Agency I wanna say, that our safari Driver Tikiri really try to do the Best for us. My opinion like turist from Europa is, that he was first person, who try to give us for our money the most what is posibille. He make our Safari time really wonderfull. What I like about him the most, that he is innovative and have some special feeling for us, who came from another side of the world. Thanks again Tikiri Dad&Daughter

My wife and I decided that this trip was perfect for us to be able to go to Yala National Park and get to Ella in the same day on a budget. We were right! We decided the go at the 11:30 time, but we're worried we may not see the animals in the heat of the day at the National Park. Boy were we wrong. Dillan, guide and driver was very knowledgeable of the area and also very skilled behind the wheel to see the animals. We saw many elephants, water buffalo, and deer. We also got to see some monkeys, a mongoose, and a LEOPARD! This trip turned out to be a perfect experience! We would highly recommend!
