Great day. Everything worked perfectly. We were a bit concerned about the 0315 AM pick up, but the driver turned up at the hotel exactly as promised. Tour in the game park was great. We didn’t see any leopard - others did - but we saw plenty of other animals. The whole Yala area is magical and so natural. Occasional glimpses of the see as to the experience. Would definitely recommend.
