5.00What an amazing day for the money. Everything was well organised and we were very well looked after. Word of warning though, if you can help it, don’t eat before lunch. The meal they served for 4 people, could have served 7 or 8 people. Also the food was amazing. Take the morning tour as it was a bit warm the time we finished and other people were going out Value for money 10/10

5.00A very good day out, a nice car and driver to the park, an excellent lunch in the Red House and a superb tour of the park. Lots to see, the leopards though were the highlight of the day!

5.00After a smooth drive and a nice lunch, we set off in the jeep with Tathum as our driver. We weren't disappointed. In a bit over three hours Tathum's excellent knowledge of Yala led us to monkeys, water buffalo, peacocks, elephants, many different birds, and - bast of all - a leopard! We'd recommend this trip to anyone
Epic Yala Safari

5.00This was one of the best experiences of my life. The best safari in Sri Lanka did not disappoint. I was lucky enough to see three elephants and two leopards. The private tour was fantastic and included the best excursion lunch I’ve ever had. This tour is an absolute must
Amazing safari experience! Do book with them!

5.00We had an excellent experience with Bentota Travel Mart! The pick up and drive to Yala went really smoothly with a nice driver and car. Our safari driver made sure we saw leopards, elephants, crocodiles and many other wildlife. A magical moment was watching a mother elephant come running over upon hearing her baby's alarmed cries at seeing two peacocks! Sam at Bentota Travel Mart also very kindly organised our return journey back to Colombo at the last minute when our original plans fell through, again with an nice driver and car.
Excellent

5.00We had an absolutely amazing experience on our private Yala Safari day trip! Everything was perfectly arranged — from the transfer from our place to the park, to the entry fees, and even a lovely lunch — making the whole day completely stress-free. Our guide was fantastic: knowledgeable, friendly, and always making sure we had the best chances to spot wildlife. Thanks to his expertise, we saw elephants, crocodiles, water buffalo, many exotic birds, monkeys! It truly felt like a real adventure, but also safe and comfortable. The jeep was clean and well-maintained, and being on a private tour meant we could go at our own pace, stop for photos, and really soak in the beauty of Yala National Park. Lunch was delicious and a thoughtful touch in the end of the trip. Our transfer driver incredibly friendly and very polite! This safari, from the seamless transfer to the incredible wildlife encounters, was one of the absolute highlights of our visit to Sri Lanka. If you want an unforgettable, well-organized, and personal safari experience, I highly recommend booking this tour!
