Organizational flop - not recommended
PRM0001,,Dec 16, 2025

1.00The collection did not work as agreed. We had to walk a good 15 minutes to another meeting point. Then there was the fact that an appointment was made for the four of us at 8:00 a.m., but at the same time with other people only at 9:00 a.m., so that - without saying anything - we were kept waiting until after 9:00 a.m. An absolute unding. As a result, the animals had long since withdrawn and only a few elephants remained near the exit.
Brill excursion

5.00Really easy service to book and clear communication. Driver and guide went out of their way to make sure we had a fun and enjoyable day safely. Very lucky to have seen two leopards in one drive, in addition to crocodiles and a herd of elephants.
Great safari

5.00The safari was a lot of fun, we saw lots of animals including a leopard and elephants but unfortunately we didn’t see the Sloth Bear. The only issue was once a leopard was spotted all jeeps arrived and crowded around and then you couldn’t leave as they blocked the way out.

5.00Pradeep picked us up from Colombo and took us to a beautiful place near Galle. Over the next five days he picked us up and dropped us where we needed to go. He always had great recommendations for places to eat and things to do. He was friendly, punctual and reliable and his car is very comfortable. I highly recommend.

5.00Second Tour with Bentota. Again, great communication. Excellent tour. Our driver Raveen took us to near the park where we met our guide and Jeep. Very professional. The tour itself was fantastic seeing the wildlife. It's pot luck what you see. We were lucky to spot a leopard sleeping in the bushes. No racing around which I was worried about scaring the animals although they do communicate to other drivers of sightings etc. But despite what animals you may or may not see the experience itself was brill. Lunch was superb. Totally unexpected three courses and the portions were massive. Highly recommend. Thanks Guys!!
Excellent experience

5.00Such an amazing experience. The tour guide we had was just brilliant and had real eagle eyes, seeing things way before we could. One of the best bits was when he said wait five minutes, they (the elephants) will come. And they did!
