It was a well organised trip. My driver Saman drove me from Galle - he was super friendly and engaging. The safari driver was informative, and showed me popular Rocky areas. Although we didn’t see any leopards, we managed to see water buffalo’s, elephants and deer amongst other animals. The one start off was just because we didn’t see some of the animals I wanted to see and the safari driver could be more outgoing.
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the overall trip and found Saman to be friendly and engaging. It’s also great that you had the chance to see elephants, deer, and water buffalo along the safari.

In the first week of January my family including myself 🙂 booked a tour with Overa tours to Yala national park. We were lucky enough to see many elephants, birds and 2 leopards during our safari. We really enjoyed our day in Yala it's value for money. Our jeep driver took us on right time to see those creatures 🤩. Lunch was served at a restaurant and it was delicious. Everything was clean and well catered. This tour is 💯 recommended to everyone!!

We did the morning safari and saw elephants, leopard, crocodile, many water buffalos, samba deer and lots lots more. We were bit disappointed that we did not see any sloth beers but understand there were limited number of them likely to be spot. I suggest you all to go morning safari which is less crowded than afternoon. Cheers
