Great Experience with Naja!

Published on Jun, 2025

Naja was amazing. We were picked up from the hotel on time and reached the Yala Entrance before 6am. The first 2 hours were for spotting the leopards and Elephants. We kept looking for 1 and Naja got an information from a fellow chauffeur spotting a leopard. He drove to the spot as fast as possible and there we saw a beautiful leopard resting by the road. Post a short coffee break, we saw the king of the Yala National Park - Lucus(the leopard). I personally feel a well connected safari guide is needed and Naja seems to be one. He gets information about animals on time and is aware of the place well. We saw 2 leopards, 4-5 elephants, wild buffaloes, monkeys, monitor lizards and many birds. I would highly recommend!

Good safari tour

Published on May, 2025

Ssasanka was a very good guide, saw lots of elephants. Recommend afternoon booking for quieter. Very informative and knew lots about the animals. Easy pick up from hotel.

Wonderful and exciting safari with Naja

Published on May, 2025

Had a wonderful safari with Naja! Great knowledge of the different animals in the park. Very motivated to get you to the most exciting animals the park has to offer. Couldn’t have asked for more on this safari!

Amazing experience - saw so many different animals!

Published on May, 2025

We went on the morning safari with Ishan and I would 10/10 reccomend! He picked us up from our hotel in Tissamaharama at 5am, we also picked up some passengers from another hotel, then we drove to the park. The park opened at 6am and we saw so many elephants, water buffalo, many species of birds and even leopards! Ishan’s expertise was amazing, and thanks to him we were able to see leopards in a very uncrowded spot! We would recommend only a half day safari as this was plenty of time to see many different types of animals!

Amazing experience!

Published on Apr, 2025

We weren’t expecting anything more than just a two hour tour through the park. We hoped to see some Elephants and peacocks. What ended up happening could easily be described as an experience of a lifetime! Our tour guide Ishan not only is probably the best off road driver, but he also knows Yala truly well. He took us around roads that weren’t visited much by others. What we experienced was truly remarkable. We saw several crocodiles, deer, lots of buffaloes, bulls, many species of birds….and yes - the leopard! And on our own as well - just us and this amazing creature. We made it just in time before gates closure. Ishan made a huge effort trying to show us as much of this amazing national park, as possible. Thank you and highly recommended! Albert, Paulina, Dexter and Kai
