Our guide and driver Gimhana was very responsible, friendly and helpful. He was super responsible from the very start and was very easy going, even helped us to get a car from the south to the park (a round trip) for a great price. with his guidance and knowledge of the routs we saw many animals (we got an afternoon safari). 5 star service and hospitality, thank you

We had an amazing day and our guide was great fun and very knowledgeable. We saw elephants , crocs, mongoose , eagles , buffalo and blue tailed bee eaters plus more . Highly recommend . It can get v busy so the 7 hour trip gave us more time to escape the madness of the multiple jeeps and enjoy more peaceful observation of the elephants .
Beautiful

Good experience. There were only 2 of us so if felt like a real private tour. The park was busy on that day ( Sri Lankan holidays). Still were able to see the animals in their habitat. Both the guide and the driver were helpful. 4 hour safari was enough for us.
Amazing tour!

We were having a private 4 hour tour around the park. We saw many elephants and other animals. The guide was very proactive and made all to show us The animal world at best, providing a lot of information. Highly recommended

We were collected bang on time - 5.30am - (its an early start!) from our accommodation and watching the sunrise as we entered the national park was something quite special. Our guide Gimhana was very knowledgeable and had a great eye for spotting the birds and animals - the peacocks in trees, elephants and mongoose were favs for us. We were dropped back in time to watch the feeding of the baby elephants at the Elephant transit house. An amazing experience - even our young people (20 and 17) loved it too. I definitely recommend... thanks Gimhana.

We did a four-hour dawn safari just after Christmas. Gimhana and his driver were very helpful, picking us up from our hotel and arranging onward travel to Colombo at a fair price. The safari was a great adventure: we saw lots of wildlife including peacocks, crocs, mongoose and elephants. Would recommend.
