5.00What an amazing experience! Dilanka was more than accommodation for us, highly recommend him and his team! We had 3 with Leopards seeing one walking, sleeping and then a mother with her cubs. We saw Crocodiles, Monkeys, Elephants, Mongooses and loads of different birds. It was an early start but so worth it!

5.00We had a full day Safari with Ishan and it could not have been any better. We saw leopards, crocodiles, elephants, water buffalo, tucan, mongoose, snakes, a wild fishing cat and many other mammals and birds. Ishan was an amazing guide and I can recommend anyone to ask for Ishan if you get a choice. Thank you.

5.00It was an amazing safari. Our tour guide Dilanka was absolutely amazing, he saw all the animal from far away while driving an showed them to us. We took the morning tour and saw a leopard with two cubs, lots of elephants and buffaloes, some crocodiles, an owl, eagles and lots of smaller animals and birds. Thanks for the amazing trip, especially to Dilanka, we would totally recommend this tour!

5.00A memorable experience. The day was very friendly and showed us a lot of animals inside the park. It was punctual and helpful. It also offered us a hearty and very rich breakfast. Highly recommended.
Excellent safari driver and guide, knowledgeable and skilful navigating to have the best possible chance for sightings

5.00Bundara was an amazing driver and guide. We really can’t thank him enough for his tireless efforts to track down animals on our full-day safari. His understanding and knowledge of the local wildlife, plus his communication network with other drivers, really paid off. The park can get very crowded with all the vehicles heading for single points when a key animal has been sighted - Bundara drove effectively and safely, and was often able to anticipate where the animal would go next to get ahead of the crowd. We were incredibly lucky to have 9 leopard sightings of (we think) 8 different leopards, including some very close up and another sleeping in a tree. We also saw elephants playing in the water, and several male ‘tuskers’. Plus lots and lots of other animals. Bundara told us about each of the things we saw. Whilst we know we got very lucky with the number of sightings, at least some of this was also down to Bundara’s skill and knowledge! A really wonderful day!
Morning safari with many elephants

5.00The guide was really good, he brought us on different and less crowded roads. We could see many animals and always in a responsible way. Also, the breakfast was really good, sweet, savoury and fruits. We haven't been lucky and we couldn't see the leopard but we saw a lot of elephants, even babies, buffalo, crocodile, many colorful birds and other animals.
