Went on a full day tour with this company, with our safari driver and guide, Naveen. Overall the trip was excellent. We went during off-season (May), Naveen was really good in the spots he decided to take us, and made sure he explained the mysteries of the Udawalawe National Park and its animals in sufficient detail. He tailored the trip to our needs, in the sense of what animals we were interested in encountering. Given it is a national park, nothing is guaranteed, but we had an amazing day out where we came across countless elephants and baby elephants, crocs, monkeys, lizards, birds, mongoose etc.! We were told that we were extremely lucky to have experienced this and that it was rare. But definitely a shout out to Naveen who made the trip a memorable one and is someone we can recommend from this experience.

100% recommend this company. Our Driver/guide Navee was very knowledgeable and made our excursion, one of the best days of our lives. Making many stops on our tour to point out the huge variety of animals. Crocodiles, monkeys, water buffalo and many types of birds including some majestic eagles. Most memorable has to be the herd of female elephants protecting their young, including a 3 week old calf. If you find yourself down Udawalawe way at any point in your life, don't hesitate to look up this company, treasured memories made today.

The tour with our friendly driver and guide Navee was fantastic. We saw many elephants in different situations, including a baby elephant and one of the rare tusked elephants. There were also many different colorful birds to see, as well as monkeys, buffalos, crocodiles and other animals. With his calm and patient manner, Navee was exactly the right tour guide for us, as he didn't rush from one spot to the next like others, but gave us as much time as we wanted to observe the animals. In addition, he didn't follow the other jeeps, but took his own routes and favorite spots. We particularly liked the quiet spot by the lake. With his good English, Navee was also able to answer all our questions. The included breakfast was a simple but delicious singalese breakfast with wade, egg roll and coconut pancakes. We had a wonderful day that we will certainly remember for a long time. Thank you very much

Just got back from the most amazing experience - up there in the top 3 of my life I think. I contacted the company via email 2 days prior to our visit. The company was very quick to respond to my emails and accepted USD, Pounds and LKR. Booking was very simple. Prior to pick up (which was from the front of our hotel) I was contacted to check everything was still ok. We (me, my husband and 8 year old) were picked up by our driver, Naveen, at 5.30am; from start to finish he was absolutely brilliant. He provided great information during the safari, provided some traditional Sri Lankan treats for breakfast and spotted animals from a mile off. I thought seeing a mother elephant with her young calf walk in front of our jeep would be the highlight but it was really just the beginning. We were, by all accounts very lucky, the only thing we didn’t see were leopards. Money very well spent. Huge thanks to Naveen - we would definitely recommend him as a driver.
