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

Dylan 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!

We 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

Dylan 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.

I 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!

An 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.

An absolutely amazing experience! Group of 17 people! Dylan went out of his way to make sure we had the best Safari literally ever. From getting us ice cream to ice to trying so hard to help us find a leopard. The accommodations were absolutely beautiful, the jeeps were comfortable, we got guides in the jeeps with us to tell us about the animals. Cannot say enough good things. Dylan is wonderful!!

This was an unforgettable experience thanks to Dilan! He took me and 16 of my friends on a weekend safari in Udawalawa/Yala and took care of absolutely everything. We didn’t have to worry about a single thing. I recommend this man 1,000%, you will not regret it!
