What To Expect
National Park Visit Options During this tour, you'll have the opportunity to visit one of two main national parks: [Park 1] or [Park 2]. If you'd like to explore both parks, we can arrange a half-day tour for each, allowing you to experience the best of both worlds. 1. Yala National Park (Block 1 or Blocks 5 & 6) Experience the incredible wildlife of Sri Lanka’s Yala National Park during this 6-hour private excursion. Scout for elephants, bears, leopards, and deer in a park considered to be among the best in the world for up-close wild animal encounters. 02. Udawalawe National Park With herds of elephants, wild buffalo, sambars and spotted deer, and giant squirrels, this Sri Lankan national park is one of the nation's finest. Udawalawe Park is home to over 400 wild elephants, which are permanent residents, and so the concentration is quite high. Additional Safari Options In addition to the above options, we can also arrange for you to visit Bundala and Lunugamwehera National Parks for a thrilling safari experience. Let us know if you'd like to customise your tour to include these parks. Duration: 4/6 hours for Morning & 4 hours for Evening Duration: 12 Hours Full Day Safari

Wonderful experience! ❤️

5.00Highly recommended, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We explored Blocks 5 and 6 and were lucky enough to see a leopard, elephants, crocodiles, and much more. Dylan shared a lot of fascinating information about the animals, patiently answered all of our questions, and made sure we had a truly great time throughout the safari. Another big plus was the smooth pick-up in Hiriketiya and drop-off in Ella, as well as a delicious breakfast. I’m incredibly grateful for this experience and really happy we found such an ethical and kind guide. Thank you!
The luckiest trip possible

5.00Dylan was the greatest, the sweetest and most genuine guid in Sri Lanka. He has crazy knowledge and attention to details - in the middle of the explanation he can spot an aligator blending with the floating log in the water from a 100 meters(photo attached). If He also cares a lot about us, the animals and general experience. We would never thought one day we can se leopard, elephants and learn so much about birds! He also fully organised a driver for us for a pick up from Hiriketiya to Yala and afterwards from Yala to Ella and organised breakfast and water bottles which was extremely helpful. Lastly he was also the sweetest person, often posed us without us asking and took photos with amazing quality and sent it all to us later. Great pleasure to met him and experience my first safari with this amazing man! Thank u so much Dylan, you were amazing:)
Amazing safari, exceptional guide

5.00We were really lucky that we found this safari trip, Dylan is a wonderful guide and you can see that he loves what he’s doing and he really cares about animals and environment. We were a group of 6. Everything went well and as discussed before, transportation to the park was on time, we started in Hiriketiya and were dropped off in Ella. The driver was really nice - he even offered us some time to watch the waterfall.
Great safari in Yala

5.00Dylan was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. We saw both elephants and a leopard, both extremely special experiences for my partner and myself. Both Dylan and his colleague's love for the animals was very apparent to see. Lunch was in a lovely sheltered spot. We recommend Dylan to anyone wanting to explore the Beautiful Yala national park.

5.00Dylan and his team were so good with communication and were really knowledgeable with the behaviours of all the Safari animals. We were able to spot a leopard, such a rare sighting, alongside elephants and other amazing animals! Definitely recommend doing this trip!

5.00We had the most incredible safari experience, it surpassed all expectations! I booked last minute for our group of 3 and Dylan (our guide) went through all the best options to suit us, there is not a thing he doesn't know about Yala I think. We went to block 6 and came across only 6 jeeps the entire time. We saw so many elephants, deer, crocodiles, wild birds, jackals, monkeys and then to top the day off we saw a leopard lazing under a tree. A day of pure magic with a guide who truly cares about the animals and their natiral habitat, he goes above and beyond to ensure the magic of Sri Lanka is shared with the people who have the privilege of having him as their guide. I can't recommend Dylan as a guide enough. Istuti
Best safari experience with the most wonderful tour guide!

5.00Dylan safari review I would like to say a massive thank you to Dylan for taking us on a wonderful safari. Not only was Dylan incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the national park and its conservation, but he was easy to chat to, engaging and full of wonderful stories to share. We had to initially cancel our safari due to Cyclone Ditwah, and even following this, Dylan was incredibly helpful and considerate, making sure we were safe and okay during the flooding, offering to organise us a driver to help us get to a safer location, and recommending places to avoid due to floods. When we finally rescheduled, we had no doubt we wanted to go with Dylan after all the care he showed us during this time. Dylan and his driver have incredible knowledge of the national park and its wildlife, and are both very dedicated to the protection of its animals - which came across in everything he did and told us on our trip. We even got to see 2 rare named elephants of the park - and got to hear about their history. We couldn’t have had a more wonderful experience - if you are looking for a sign to book with Dylan, this is it! Thank you again Dylan for a magical day, we can’t wait to come back and visit one day soon.
The Most Incredible Safari Experience!

5.00I truly cannot recommend this safari tour enough. My friend and I are two girls in our mid-20s solo travelling in Sri Lanka and we were completely overwhelmed with options when searching for a safari tour. We chose Dylan’s safari as the reviews were amazing and we were not disappointed. Dylan was in constant communication with us, adapting the safari itinerary to best fit our desires for what we wanted to get out of the day. In the lead up to our safari, Sri Lanka was affected by Cyclone Ditwah and we had to message Dylan to cancel our safari as we could not reach Yala. Not only was he completely understanding, but he messaged us several times afterwards to check on our safety and to give us updates about the areas to avoid/ that were safe. He went above and beyond in the kindness he showed us. Once the cyclone subsided, Dylan reorganised a wonderful safari for us in Block 5 and 6 of the Yala National Park (highly recommend over block 1). His knowledge of the nature in the area as well as all the birds and animals we came across was incredible. He answered all our questions about the animals, tried endlessly to maximise how many animals we could spot and consistently ensured we were comfortable during the safari. The food and refreshments offered were delicious. The driver to and from the national park was wonderful and professional also which also made us feel better. Again, this is truly the best safari experience we could have asked for and I would recommend it to everyone! If you are thinking about booking with this tour company, do not hesitate! You won’t regret it!

5.00An incredible all in one trip. Dilan did an incredible job organising a strong itinerary, for a big group (17+) in short notice, including all of the Safari details and the accommodation. The accommodations were also wonderful. Dilan really really cares and worked so hard throughout. I can't believe he pulled this off. The price was also really good. You can definitely trust in Dilan to organise a great trip for you.
