We had a great full day safari at Yala National Park. Su, our guide, was fantastic and despite his best efforts (lots of racing) we did not manage to see a leopard or sloth bear. We saw plenty of elephants, crocodiles, monkeys, lizards and birds. The breakfast and lunch included was delicious. The park was so scenic and beautiful. Thank you Su.

Once in a lifetime experience! Su did an amazing job making sure we saw every animal including leopards and the bear! Highly recommended doing the full day 12 hours as it can take awhile to find the animals (they don’t have trackers). We were 4 ft away from the leopard which is a very rare experience. We were picked up from Hilton Yala which was very close! The hotel was charging $1500 for 3 hours but so glad we booked this experience instead.

I had a memorable safari experience, thanks in large part to our passionate and knowledgeable local guide Darshana. The authentic Sri Lankan food and personal touches added great value. However, there were areas for improvement—specifically, clearer communication about private vs. group tours, more efficient pick-up scheduling, and enhanced food presentation. With these adjustments, the tour could be truly exceptional.

We were delighted with this tour and the skill and knowledge of our driver / guide. He has worked in the National park for 16 years and had a wealth of experience of the animals. At one stage we were one of the first to see a leopard as he heard a warning call from a deer and had the knowledge to know that the call was to raise the alarm to the other dear that danger was close by and followed the call to find the leopard. Highly recommend.

We had a really great safari! Pickup was directly from our Hotel to Yala, where we entered very quickly. At the beginning, there are a lot of Jeeps, but once you‘ve entered the parc there are various ways to go and you see less Trucks. Our Guide Amila told us everything we wanted to know and had some interesting background Knowledge about all kind of animals. Our Highlight were all the water Buffalos relaxing in the seas. We also saw much birds, elephants (even one with Baby!), a turtle, tucans, Peacocks. Unfortunately we missed the Leopard two times, even our Guide Amila tried his very best to find one. But only two other Trucks saw Leopards this day, so it was very hard. My advise: Book a flull-day-tour. You will have a nice lunch Break at the Beach with Great fruits and local Food and when you start again in the afternoon it is less crowdy because all the jeeps with half-day-Tours Are Home.
