Highly recommended

We had an amazing safari experience with @kosalaharendra Everything was perfectly organized, safe, and always on time. Our driver was very patient, knowledgeable, and made sure we had the best experience throughout the trip. They even arranged transportation for us from our home in Weligama to the safari area, which was about two hours away, making the whole journey smooth and stress-free. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional and reliable safari tour in Sri Lanka!

Punctual and responsible

Had a seamless transportation experience with Kosala, he picked us up exactly on time in his clean car with all working seatbelts at 5am in Galle, brought us to Udawalawe National Park waited tor us 4 hours by the national park and then drop us off at Ella. Kosala has safe driving skills and very pleasant to talk to.

Bucket list moment

We had the best time on our Udawalawe Safari! From pick up at our location, the drive to the park, the safari as a whole & the drive back - honestly 10/10. The sunrise was gorgeous and we got so lucky with the animals, we saw elephants, monkeys, mongoose, jackals, parrots (& many other birds), water buffalo’s and so many more. Our guide was so knowledgeable and respectful of the animals which was of utmost importance to us!

A great day out

Kosala was so kind and knowledgeable! He gave me so much information about Sri Lanka. He made stops at scenic spots along the way so that I could enjoy them and take pictures. The safari was so much fun, I was able to see so many animals. I highly recommend booking this tour.

Hiriketiya to Udawalawe

Kosala was fantastic. He picked us up on time from our hotel in hiriketiya and drove us to safari in Udawalawe. His English was good, and he was extremely accomodating. He even stopped at certain points to educate us on some local knowledge. Thank you

Great experience!

Kosala was a great driver. He picked me up right on time and was the safest driver I had in Sri Lanka. He also taught me some things about Sri Lanka, Udawalawe park, and even made a small stop at the Ravana Fall before dropping me off at my hotel. The safari itself was amazing as well. The drivers allowed me to take as much time as I needed when there were elephants or other animals. They also did not chase the animals extensively, which was a great plus. Thank you!!
