Chamara organised a 2 day trip to the safari park and on to Ella, with an overnight hotel stay for our family of 3. The trip took in the safari park and elephant sanctuary, 9 arch bridge and 90 mins train journey around Ella. With a 4 hour drive each way, this is definitely not a journey you want to drive yourself, and Chamara did the heavy work and looked after us throughout. It was really good to get away from the hotel and see Sri Lanka’s beautiful landscapes. Well done and thank you!
Very nice journey, Obama is very good driver. He is very attentive. He takes care of his passengers. I recommend him.
thank you for your feedback
We booked a trip to Elle, Udawalawa Safari with Obama from RIU Lanka Tours and Travel. It was great. He could show us a lot and explain it in German. We can only recommend him.
vielen dank.
I really enjoyed this trip, although it was an early start for us it was definitely worth it. The sights throughout the day were phenomenal, we got to experience the full Sri Lankan elephant safari experience and to top it all off we had the best tour guide - Obama. I was really intrigued by the wildlife and Obama made sure that we would catch the elephants super clearly every single time. Seeing the elephants at least 1.5-2 meters away was so surreal and I would definitely recommend Obama and his team to guide you as well. We were constantly being told what to look out for and even had to pull out the binoculars. We also went to visit an elephant feeding transit, there were loads of other people there to see so I’m glad Obama had shown us a popular site. This experiences is best for families to explore.
thank you very much
We went on a trip around Sri Lanka with a local guide named Obama, who has an official guide license! We planned our trips so that we could see as much as we wanted: Kandy, the Temple of the Tooth, the Hindu temple in Matala, Sigiriya Lion Rock and Dambulla (a two-day trip), as well as Ella + a train ride (nine arch bridge), Adams Rock, tea plantations, Udawalawe, and finally a one-day trip to Colombo. We were two families (8 people), including children aged 8 to 12. Obama advised us on a detailed itinerary, and we had as much time as we wanted for the attractions. Aboma was very helpful and gave us as much time as we wanted to explore - without rushing - it was very comfortable. He always took us on trips to avoid the crowds. I recommend his company and his professional and open approach to tourists. See you soon, Obama - maybe there will be another opportunity to explore the beautiful land of Ceylon together. For those who wants to have directly contact to Obama i lave here his mobile +94774618755
Thank you very much for your feedback.
