The whole experience was...

The whole experience was very disappointing. We booked a tour with ajith safari tours and it stated explicitly that we get a Toyota Hillux, but that was not the case. The tour also stated that we would be getting an professional, English speaking driver. This was also not the case. The driver could only say the names of some of the animals, but every question resulted in a smile followed by silence. There was a ranger in the car on tha way to yala, so we assumed he would be joining us for explanation, but he left when we arrived. Our driver stood still for about 2 hours of the 4 hour tour to try to spot a jaguar, but he didn't ask or tell us anything about what we should be looking for and asking him resulted in being shushed that we needed to be silent. He only seemed to be very enthousiastic to stop for pictures of monitor lizards, animals which you already see plenty of on the island. Furthermore there seemed to be a problem with the shock absorbers. All other cars were passing us all of the time, because if our driver tried to go a bit faster, the car would shake uncontrollably. All in all we left the park not amused and cannot recommend this experience to anyone. We would appreciate it very much if something can be arranged regarding the costs we've paid.

What a fantastic afternoon. Our driver Kasun B was great at navigating the difficult terrain and getting us to see all the animals. We saw Elephants, crocodiles, water buffalo, a mongoose and lots more. The highlight was seeing the leopard crossing the road and being the only people there to witness it.
Great and kind driver

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.
