Fantastic full day safari. Excellent communication with Trip Advisor and Merganser Holidays. Great value for money!

Published on Dec, 2024

The Yala full day safari was excellent from the process when booking through to our special day. Trip Advisor was in contact with us throughout and the whole day ran smoothly. Timing was spot on and we had an excellent driver/guide for the day. We saw many animals in their natural habitat although sadly the leopards were on their own holiday! A picnic lunch was provided - there were two of us but there was plenty of delicious food for many more. Henry Lionel was the Director of Operations and kept us fully informed - thank you. A trip which I would highly recommend!

Great Nala experience

Published on Apr, 2024

A fantastic day with many animal sightings in Nala. Close encounters with elephants, many other species, prolific bird life and a delicious lunch. We really enjoyed it and highly recommend Merganser for great service and excellent value.

Well organised.

Published on Apr, 2024

Extremely well organised. Convenient pick up from port. We saw a lot of wildlife including elephants but sadly no leopards.

Look no further for your Yala safari!

Published on Apr, 2024

Outstanding tour. Merganser were superb in organising things for us including a few alterations to their normal program that we requested. A very professionally run company - they couldn't have been more helpful. The day itself went very smoothly and we were fortunate to see lots of wildlife, some of it at very close quarters. Our driver/guide looked after us very well. A thoroughly enjoyable day out and extremely good value for money, all things considered. Highly recommended.

Awesome tours with Merganser to Yala and Colombo - excellent experience

Published on Apr, 2024

We arranged 2 tours in Sri Lanka with Merganser Holidays: Yala safari as part of a group off the Celebrity Cruise and a private tour of Colombo. We had 59 people in the cruise group which was split into subgroups 6 people per jeep. The communication was absolutely awesome. All of the communication was done directly by Henry Lioner, Director of Operations. Every step of the way, complete details were provided, including the pickup point, lunch detail, groups, etc. and the response to my emails was prompt, polite and thorough. Henry sent our subgroup set-up and details thru whatsup so that we knew who were in our subgroup and could communicate with each other if wanted. The tours were great, no problems whatsoever. Henry came to the ship pickup point himself but then I was surprised to see him again in Yala at lunch time where he took care of our groups (lunch was awesome). Our jeeps picked us up right from the pier, next to the ship, and dropped us off there as well. We had the jeep driver and were joined by the safari guide at Yala, who were trying their best to make sure that we saw as many animals as possible. They got us back to the ship at exactly the time promised. The Colombo private tour was fantastic as well; again, Henry was there at the pick-up point (right next to the ship). The tour guide was great, showed us everything we wanted to see and more. All in all, I couldn't be happier with Merganser tours. Everything, from the beginning to the end, was absolutely fantastic.
