many animals and birds, amazing natural - We went on a safari tour in Kumana National Park yesterday, and I'm still overwhelmed by the experience. We opted for the full-day all-inclusive tour, which was challenging due to the heat, but it allowed us to see even more wildlife. Thanks to our professional guide and attentive driver, we saw many animals and birds, and incredibly, we spotted a leopard twice—once it walked right past us. If you don't see a leopard, don't be disappointed; the park's nature is stunning. Elephants, various birds, wild boars, deer, buffaloes, and crocodiles were all amazing to witness.

Highly recommended - Highly recommended full day safari. Our guide Sandu was very skilful in spotting wildlife and a very safe driver. We saw 6 leopards in total, including a mating pair, which we believe is very rare to see. We also saw lots of elephants, including babies, wildebeest, mongoose, deer, crocodiles and a wide variety of birds including the Black Neck Storked. Huge morning tea of fresh fruit and delicious picnic lunch.

The best holiday experience - Although it’s a long day we had an amazing time! Our driver Ravi and guide Malinda were incredible at showing us around as well as dealing with an approaching elephant. We were able to see two leopards in different locations which made the long day worth it. Food was provided for us and being able to eat lunch in those surroundings was an amazing experience.

First time safari experience - Our guide and driver were really informative and tried very hard to find all kinds of wildlife for us! We were lucky and saw a leopard right at the end of the day as well as elephants, crocodiles, buffalo, boar, deer and lots of rare birds. We also enjoyed visiting the jungle temple. The food was also excellent and we enjoyed our rice and curry under the shade of big trees next to the river. The wildlife is most active at the very start or very end of the day and the middle of the day is very hot with not too much to see so we would suggest half day is better.
