Ask for Rumesh & Sujith - when booking

Truly magical experience with our wonderful Lwas Guide Rumesh and oor Safari Driver Sujith Rumesh was the perfect Hist and Guide to Sti Lanka. , a highly articulate and knowledgeable , skilled gentleman, who was not only welcoming but also charming He picked us up at the Cruise Terminal and took us on a very scenic route, described to perfection by him. He organised the transfer over to Sujith - our Safari driver His eagle eyes and knowledge of the park was outstanding/ A truly memorable day , with wonderful guides I would recommend the trip, and suggest that you ask for Rumesh and Sujith - they are Fantastic.

Great experiience

This was a great experience, well organised and we had a truly great day. Seeing the wild life up close in their natural environment was amazing. Viator and HTM were very good from the initial booking right through to returning us to the ship.

Good safari from port

Prompt port pick up and drive to the national park with a nice lunch stop at Niwahana before the 4 hour jeep safari ride in the national park. Van driver made a few stops to point out interesting sites along the way.

Very well organized tour.

We did our day trip in December 2023. We were cruising at that time and were picked up from the port. Everything was organized very well. The cars were waiting for us in the designated area and were easy to find. The car was clean, the driver was very polite, Delicious lunch was provided as well as bottled water. We saw a lot of elephants and many different birds. This tour is highly recommended.

Fantastic service

Our holiday rep booked a safari day for us before we left England. It was an absolutely fantastic day out we hadn’t realised it was a private tour just for us so that was a bonus. Sam the manager rang us the evening before we went to confirm times and drivers name. We had Dinesh who was amazing he picked us up at 5 am and we got back after 6 pm. He pointed out lots of interesting facts on our journey too. We decided we would go to Galle the following week so messaged Sam to see if we could book same driver and not do everything that was on the list and it was no problem. We did Galle fort then silk factory and tsunami museum which was all very interesting. We stopped to have some lunch on the way back to hotel. Would highly recommend this company. If we come back to Sri Lanka again will certainly be using them. Thank you very much Sam and Dinesh Sarah and Chris.

Excellent Service

Everything about this safari was very well organized. The company's communication via email and WhatsApp was excellent. Messages were answered quickly and suggestions were made on minor postponements to avoid crowds. The driver/guide was punctual, friendly and very competent.
