The operator was very knowledgeable, he understood the assignment when he said our target is to spot a leopard and he took us right to it. It was a good experience overall, it was our third time with the same driver and will surely come back next year again.

I did a Yala safari with Sri Lanka Yala Safari mainly for photography, and it was a great experience. The guide understood my needs and took time to position the jeep properly for good shots. We saw elephants, birds, and even a leopard, which was amazing for photos. The driver was patient and didn’t rush, which really helped. Highly recommend for anyone interested in wildlife photography in Yala.

Fantastic safari experience! We saw 2 leopards (one crossed the road near us!), a family of elephants including a young tusker, herds of spotted deer and sambar deer, 2 crocodiles, an owl and a hornbill, few hares and eagles. Guide was very friendly, showed us all the sights and gave us brief explanations too. Beautiful Yala!
