Gimhana - awesome guide for a Udawalawe National park - We went on safari with Gimhana on september. Better attention was paid to animal welfare and wildlife diversity. He had so much knowledge to share about the animals and the park - we asked him a lot and he was always insightful.

Super experience in Udawalawe park - We were lucky to have Gimhana as our guide and it made for an amazing safari. He was very informative of the wildlife, took great photos and had a genuine care and love for everything around him. We saw family of baby elephants, crocodiles, deers, monitor lizard, peacocks, pelicans, water buffaloes, birds and two types of monkeys. Also he helped us easily arrange a transfer over whatsapp and also arranged lunch. I would like to thank our guide ‘Gimhana’ specifically.

Great experience.. Highly Recommend ! - We spent a beautiful sunrise at the park guided by thw best guy in town. Gimhana picked us up at the hotel at early morning and we were one of the first vehicules to enter. Due to the many positive reviews on TripAdvisor, we decided to book the safari directly with him via WhatsApp. Communication was super easy, very friendly, and reliable. Gimhana is very knowledgeable and shared a lot of information about the animals with us. It was amazing to see so many wild animals out in the open plains—birds, peacocks, elephants, water buffaloes, monkeys, chameleon. I would highly recommend him.

Couldn’t recommend him enough!!

Had a great experience in Udawalawe National Park. - My partner and I took part in a private safari organized by a local guide, Ishan. He knew all the best spots of where to find a wide variety of elephants, birds, crocodiles, deers and reptiles. Also he arranged our transfer ( Galle to Udawalawe ) and the taxi driver was great. And it has the best price! Definitely recommend. Because  It was a nice experience.
