We had an unforgettable experience, and the tour was private (unlike most other tours)! Navee our driver and guide was amazing, took us down private roads and made sure we could see the best of everything. Truly felt like we had the best experience there! Thank you.

We had an amazing experience with our guide Naveen. He speaks excellent English and was very knowledgeable about the animals we saw. We were short on time that day and Naveen managed to show us a herd of elephants, monkeys a crocodile and buffalo in just under two hours.
Naveen was amazing

We travelled as a family of 4 with a 3 year old and the tour itself was brilliant, we had Navee and was very knowledgeable and a great tour guide. We saw at least 15 different elephants including a 2-3 month old, crocodiles, peacocks, monkeys, buffalo etc. Well worth the money. It was a long drive from Wadduwa but worth it. Only negative was the lunch stop was a bit of a rip off, £25 for 2 of us to eat plus a drink each (and food for the driver) but other than that can’t complain at all!
Great safari

An excellent day with Naveen. He was very knowledgable about all the animals in the park including the birds. It was a very busy day in the park and he managed to take us to quiet places where there were no other trucks and we saw so many elephants very very close. It was absolutely amazing. Also the organisation and communication from the company was really good. I changed plans at the last minute and they were impressively accommodating. Would highly recommend this excursions and also this company.

We really enjoyed the safari. We saw elephants, a monitor lizard, a turtle, and many beautiful birds. The whole trip was well organized and had a great atmosphere. The driver was very kind, attentive, and took great care of us throughout the journey. We felt safe and very well looked after. We can definitely recommend this experience.
