We loved our safari experience. Sheran was so knowledgeable and patient with all our questions. He also knew the park extremely well and was able to spot elephants that were so well hidden in the trees. We learnt so much about birds, elephants and monkeys. He also gave us loads of time every time we spotted an animal, he never rushed us to move on. We LOVED our experience and would recommend Sheran to anyone planning on visiting the park.
Amazing experience with Sheran

Sheran was an outstanding guide during our safari in Udawalawe National Park. He shared a lot of interesting information about the animals, and his eagle eyes spotted even the smallest birds and lizards that we would have easily missed. He clearly knows the park very well and took us to the best spots to see elephants. Overall, it was a great tour, and we can highly recommend Sheran as a guide.
Best guide ever

It was already our second time at the national park. Sheran was the best guide ever. He showed us so many birds, elephants and other animals. He knows a lot and told us everything about every animal. Definitely recommended!! He is polite, funny and he loves kids :-) the car was also really comfy and safe.

This was just the safari we had hoped for! Sheran was fantastic and we saw so many elephants! we were extremely happy with the way the wildlife was treated, we kept our distance and the drivers always turned off the engine for quietness when animals were around. We did the 6 hour safari and it flew by! Highly recommend 😊
Best Safari Tour ever!!

Such an amazing tour! Sheran is the best tour guide, I promise. He knows everything about every animal there and even saw the tiny little chameleons on the branches. His englisch is really good and also a really good driver. We went on the 6h tour and would definitely recommend this one, as you can go way further into the park. So worth it.
The BEST safari!
