We loved it! We had such a nice experience and saw a lot of animals. It was very relaxing with the boot and under the trees :). Our boot driver Coca was also very friendly and spotted a lot of animals + knew some pretty good German! Would absolutely recommend :)

Our Bentota River Safari with Nisha Tours and Travels was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was well organized and the team was very welcoming and professional. The boat ride through the beautiful mangroves was absolutely stunning. We saw so much wildlife along the river including crocodiles, monkeys, colorful birds, lizards and even a few hidden animals along the mangrove roots. The guide shared interesting information about the river and the ecosystem which made the safari even more enjoyable. The boat was comfortable and the ride was very smooth, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the scenery and nature around us. It felt like a real adventure while still being peaceful and relaxing. If you are visiting Bentota, I highly recommend booking your river safari with Nisha Tours and Travels. It’s an incredible experience.

We loved our safari with Coca. We did the 3pm tour so didn’t expect to see as much as the morning but saw crocodiles, lizards, snakes, kingfishers, eagles, chameleons, bats and fed monkeys mango. We couldn’t believe some of the camouflaged things he spotted! He was really knowledgable and took some amazing photos and videos for us as well. Really good value for the price.
