Great Safari Experience with Ishan! - We recently went on safari at Yala National Park and had the pleasure of having Ishan as our driver. I cannot say enough good things about him. He was extremely knowledgeable about the animals and the area, and his passion for wildlife was contagious. Ishan was also an excellent driver and made sure we had the best possible experience, taking us to all the best spots to see the animals up close. I highly recommend Ishan as a driver for any safari experience. He truly made our trip unforgettable and I cannot thank him enough for his expertise. Thank you, Ishan!

Best time at this safari tour - We had the best safari with our guide Darshana! He told us a lot about the animals and the park and was able to answer all our questions. It was really visible that he cared a lot about the animals which was so nice. Also the jeep was super comfortable and perfect for viewing everything around us. Would recommend this Safari to anyone!

Great tour!! - We had an amazing day with Ajith Safari!! Our safari guide was very knowledgeable and he really wanted us to see all the animals, he even took great pictures for us with our phone!! Ajith Safari were able to organize our transport from Hiriketiya to Arugam Bay which was a great addition to the safari package. Our driver was on time and everything went very well during our transport! I recommend this company 100%!

Dilan is the man! We got to see 2 leopards - This is a must do on your trip to Sri Lanka!! We booked this trip with Dilan as he has the best reviews on trip advisor. Dilan was a great guide and I am still amazed how he could see so much while he was driving 🤩 he could spot any animal, big or small from the far distance before we could even see it. He made sure if there was a sighting he did everything to get you there. One time he just said there’s a leopard 🐆 HOLD ON! and raced us to the area where the leopard was so that we did not miss it. Thanks to Dilan we got to see two leopards. If we go back to Yala I won’t be looking around, I’ll be booking another trip with Dilan truly 12/10 rating.

Darshana was the best! - Darshana from Ajith Safari gave everything we wanted! He had a lot of passion, he loved the animals, and because of that we saw a Leopard (as first) even before breakfast! He knew also a lot of background information from the animals. We had seen everything we wanted. Besides that, he is a nice guy who even sent is own made pictures! All the money was worth it!
