Great overal experience! - I had the half safari with a friend. The Viator managers were very helpful and obliging from the first moment and our driver was really knowledgable of the park and the right places to see animals. So we do up close a lot of elephants, a mom and a baby casually strolled right next to us! We saw crocodiles,wild buffalos, wild boars, antilopes, dears and the local lizards and bunnies! Plus the park has this wild beauty which is mesmering esp at dawn and sunset. I could not recommended the Viator tours more. Plus they waited for us at their office upon return to make sure everything was alright and bid us goodbye. Lovely people, we felt absolutely safe all the time! Thank you!

Exciting safari under heavy rain! - We went for an afternoon safari with Kasun. He was just fantastic! Even though we encountered heavy rain during the safari, which usually makes animal sightings more difficult, Kasun tried his best to find any possible wildlife movements. In the end, we saw leopard, bear, elephants playing in the water and walking on the path, baby crocodile, buffalo, peacocks …. Which is very impressive given the rainy weather and that leopards are already difficult to see under sunny weather. I think Kasun contributed a lot to this as he kept going to places, checking binoculars and messaging his friends for news, and of course rushing to the sighting places! Thank you for making safari under heavy rain a fun and exciting trip!! Actually safari under heavy rain is kinda like a theme park ride which adds to the fun of it . We thoroughly enjoyed it!!

Great Safari Drives - We’ve just done an evening and a morning safari with Ishan which was great. Ishan was a really good guide, he doesn’t follow the pack and really tried hard to let you see things away from the crowds of other jeeps for example we saw a group of elephants bathing and we were the only jeep there. He has eagle eyes and really knows his stuff explaining every animal and showing you in his nature book. Thanks for a great trip.

Eagle eyes Dilan - Dilan guided us through the park. He is a nice, knowledgeable person with the eye of an eagle. No leopard goes unseen during a ride with Dilan.

We got to see over 10 different animals up close, including leopards, bears, and elephants. - Our safari experience at Yala National Park was nothing short of extraordinary. We had the rare privilege of witnessing a variety of magnificent animals, including leopards, elephants, and bears, each encounter more breathtaking. These awe-inspiring moments were made even more special thanks to our exceptional guide, Ishan. With over 13 years of experience, his profound knowledge of the park and its wildlife added depth and richness to our adventure. His expertise and passion turned what could have been just a simple safari into a truly unforgettable journey into the wild

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!

Good Safari, lots of wildlife, uncomfortable jeep - The park is beautiful and we saw quite a lot of wildlife. The car however was very uncomfortable, no leg space at all and in the back seats no one could sit straight, which made us alternate between the seats. Driver was good but very focused on leopards, and gave us not much time to also enjoy the other wildlife which for him was not so interesting but for us it definitely is since we don’t see this at home.
