An incredible Safari Drive

We went on a Yala safari with drivers from tuktukdude. Both drivers were kind and polite, and at the beginning of the trip we had a delicious breakfast, which was a great start to the day. In the park itself, we transferred to a jeep (we were only two passengers), paid for admission, and the driver showed us various animals until almost sunset. We even saw a sleeping leopard, which is very rare, and in the evening, we discovered a peaceful fairy-tale world where deer, monkeys, eagles, and other birds live their lives and interact with each other. There were enough visitors, but the large area meant that it did not feel crowded. The driver was in a great hurry when we had the opportunity to see a leopard, so that he could share his impressions with us. I recommend this safari to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. It is a wonderful experience and an opportunity to get a little closer to nature.
I saw a leopard.

In the first half, there were only three elephants and all birds, but at the end we saw a leopard! The driver, Sasanka, did his best.
Amazing trip

Everything was smooth from the pick up to drop. They were extremely punctual as well. What really stood out was their attentiveness — they made sure everyone felt included and went out of their way to answer questions and offer tips for the rest of our trip.

Great experience! Pick-up and drop-off were arranged seamlessly and I felt safe during the drives. The Yala Safari was simply amazing, we saw so many animals thanks to our guide. Communication was very quick and easy via WhatsApp.

The trip went smooth and pleasant🙂 The vehicle was comfy and the driver Udaya was a real professional. And we also had great time at the safari with our jeep driver. It was an incredible experience to see all the animals in the wild nature, even without seeing a leopard who was too far away from us.
Great experience on this Safari

Would recommend this safari tour! We did the pick up from Mirissa, everything was well organised and the pick up and drop offs ran smoothly. The guide was super informative and we managed to see a leopard and elephants among other animals. Breakfast was tasty and the tour company was easy to contact to get additional information from. Thanks again!
