Fabulous - This trip was great, communication was excellent, driver and guide arrived on time, pick up from the hotel at 0400 hrs in an air-conditioned people carrier. on entering the vehicle, bottles of water provided. Fabulous experience from start to finish, unable to find anything negative about this tour. Arriving in Yala, we were offered fresh breakfast prior to being taken on the safari Private jeep tour of Yala with an excellent guide who was very knowledgeable about the animals in the park. In the morning we were lucky enough to see several leopards, we were informed how lucky we were seeing leopards, apparently, they’re very discreet. Lunch, drinks & fresh fruits were provided in a safe place within Yala park. The safari driver/guide was really knowledgeable and helped us to see many, animals throughout the day, we witnessed numerous species, elephants, crocodiles, peacocks, deer, and monkeys to name a few. This tour is highly recommended

A good day out. - Excellent day from start to finish. The restaurant we stopped at for lunch was very good with a good choice. Our guide for the safari was brilliant and we saw a large variety of animals with the group of elephants surrounding the jeep made the day. Wife did manage to catch the back end of a leopard as it disappeared into the bush.

A long but worthwhile day - amazing safari experience. - Amazing day out - not to be missed! The whole day was seamless from the pick up at the hotel and transfer to the safari point. Time for a quick coffee then we were off on safari - the team worked really hard to give us the best experience and searched for animals tirelessly. Really enjoyed the private safari - it was just the 2 of us on the vehicle. It is a long day but very worthwhile to be in the national park with the wildlife. No leopards for us but still had a great day.

Yala from Beruwala - Had a great experience with BTM, contacted them via their web page, quick response and very helpful. Booked trip to Yala and from the booking to return to hotel everything was great. Clear details provided, name of driver , car details provided evening before, Driver to Yala was great, lunch was much better than expected, 3 courses with choices, i went for the Sri Lankan curry which was very good. Yala was amazing, our safari driver was very good and we were lucky enough to see a leopard, and the elephants having fun at the watering hole was a great experience. Would highly recommend.

Great day in yala - Great safari. Our guide was brilliant. Saw lots- elephants, buffalo, loads of crocs and birds. Really lucky to see a leopard. The park was quiet only 5 jeeps around when the leopard was spotted. Our driver was fantastic at getting us the best spot to see the animals. The whole day from start to finish was brilliant. From the driver , Dinesh, to the lunch/coffee stop. Well worth the long drive and early (4.30!) start. 🐆🐆🐘🐘

Tala safari - This was the first time we’ve been on a safari so don’t have anything to compare it with. We had an early start and then we got to the Safari about 6 am. There were lots and lots of other fans and vehicles, it took quite awhile to get into the park. We are very lucky that we saw an elephant at the entrance. It did take awhile to see other animals but we did happen to see Buffalo’s deer,peacocks,crocodile, we saw the leopards laying on the rock although it wasn’t very clear for photos we saw monkeys, monitors. yeah it was an amazing day but very long but well worth the visit if you come to Sri Lanka, it’s a must,
