It was an amazing day. If you love animals, this is the trip for you. We saw so many different animals! Many elephans even the babies, lots of monkeys playing, and buffalos and exotic birds. Every time we thought wed seen everything, our guide found something new. Speaking of the guide, he was super educated and friendly. He could spot animals hiding in the bushes from far away. He made the whole trip interesting by telling us cool facts about how the animals live. The tour was well-organized, the jeep was comfy, and we felt very safe the whole time. I can't recommend this tour enough. It was definitely the highlight of our holiday. Thanks to the guide for such a brilliant experience!

I planned this solo trip as a reward to myself at an important turning point in my work. The safari he arranged was absolutely wonderful. 🐘🐊🦎🦚🌈 I was able to capture countless wild animals on my camera. The driver was a true professional who clearly understood elephant behavior and knew exactly where to wait in advance. I also asked him to arrange my transfers. The price was more reasonable than the quotes I received from other sites, and he kindly guided me while taking me to my hotel. And then—what an incredible surprise! Even though it wasn’t a safari, three elephants appeared right in front of us. It turned out to be an incredibly lucky transfer.🐘🐘🐘💓 After that, something terrible happened. I was told that the hotel I had booked through another website was under construction and that I could not stay there, so I was forced to cancel. 🤯I was extremely upset and completely panicked, but he immediately arranged another hotel for me. I truly cannot thank him enough.🙏🏻💓 Thank you so much!

Had a wonderful half-day safari! Saw lots of animals and had a peaceful trip without lines of jeeps. Gimhana did a great job!

This company was wonderful, with our guide, Chamara, organising transport from Ella then to Tissa after the safari. Chamara was highly Knowledgeable and provided more insight than just naming the animals. We were very interested in birds which Chamara made sure we saw plenty and highlighted ones we may not have seen otherwise. Despite being bird focussed, we still saw soo many elephants and the distance kept was very respectful. I highly recommend Chamara for a beautiful tour.

It was such an amazing Safari. We saw a lot of elephants as well as peacocks, crocodiles, water buffalo, monkeys and a lot of birds. The elephants walked right by us and our guide was very friendly and informative. He told us a lot of interesting things and answered all of our questions. I definitely recommend this to anyone wanting to see elephants, except for people with bad back problems, because the jeep ride is quite bumpy, due to the roads in the national park.

Gimhana was a great guide, he is very knowledgable on all the animals and can answer any of your questions. He navigated very confidently and always spotted the animals for us. We saw a lot of elephants (even babys), crocodiles, peacocks, green bee catchers and so many more! I recommend him a lot, you won't regret!

We had a great safari tour today and are completely satisfied. The pickup was very punctual, we were warmly welcomed and even taking our luggage was possible without any problems, as we were traveling in a jeep as a couple. With our guide Gimhana we felt comfortable at all times. He was friendly, attentive and gladly answered all our questions. We especially loved that he gave us a lot of time to watch the animals, and chose routes that were not crowded. So we were often traveling all alone and could enjoy the tranquility of the surroundings. In addition, we had booked a small breakfast that was perfectly adequate and tasted very good. The organization of a taxi ride after the safari to our next destination also went smoothly. Overall, it was a highly recommended and relaxed tour that will remain in our best memory.

It was a great experience, best in Sri Lanka and one of the best in our travelling career. We've seen 30-40 elephants, crocodiles, buffalos, monkeys, mangoose, plenty of different birds. The guide was very helpful and kind. If you are in Sri Lanka you need to go to this trip
