Overall rating

It was a great visit with a perfect guide. We started with half a day safari but changed our mind as we could not see any leopards. Right after we decided to go for a full day safari tour, we were face to face to a leopard And alone!

Very good driver and experienced guide. He knows a lot about the animals and the park. Very friendly and funny. He knows where and how to spot the leopard. We had a great time with him. Thank you Sasanka.

Great tour of Yala National Park. Yash knows the best places in the park to find wild animals. Good driver, hope to see you soon! Thanks for everything!

Mutu was the best guide so far. He had a plan, so trust hime and we saw the leopard.

Perfect tour to explore Galle fort’s rich history!
