Vishwa made sure we were one of the earliest visitors in the park and drove like a crazy person, which we loved. He was in a group which shared information with each other over the phone which made us the earliest trucks to see the leopard, elephants and many other animals. Kind guy. Definitely deserved a good tip!

The safari experience was ok but little advantage in doing the whole day safari as you do not get the full golden hours experience late in the afternoon. The experience is as per other reviews ie jeeps queuing and taking it in turns to glance at the animals. If you have been on previous safaris in other countries you might wish to consider giving this a miss. Expensive for activity in Sri Lanka
Good, but could have been better

Guide was not very informative, start was too late and end was too early. We saw leppards and also great hornbills which was amazing.
Should you have when you are in Sri Lanka

It was a wonderful activity! Seen many different animals. The driver explained along the way and indicated what could be seen where. You almost drive in a column of different providers in and through the Yala Park. Keep in mind that it is quite dusty in the open jeep, especially if you are in the back.
Saw the Big 3 thanks to guide Naja

We had a great safari. Naja is a very good guide and thanks to his driving (getting us away from all the other jeeps) and patience we saw the Big Three and lots of other animals! We had a perfect day. We were less happy with he communication with the office. They did not reach out to us with any information and when we did they gave us the wrong info. They said we would be picked up at 5.15 but it turned out that Naja was already there at 4.45. Plus they said we had to pay the entrance fee at the park but gave us the wrong amount and also did not tell us it needed to be paid in cash). Also we did not know that the park closes between 12 and 2 so we were very suprised by the long break.
