Great transport from Ella to Hikkaduwa and safari in Udawalawe - Booked pickup from Ella via Udawalawe to Hikkaduwa. The driver arrived a bit earlier and was very friendly. He was a safe driver and nice to chat with. Comfortable car. The safari jeep and driver were also really good. Spotted lots of animals and had some really nice elephant experiences! Highly recommend!

Great safari, talented driver! - We had a blast! We booked a safari for half a day in the afternoon and we saw many animals: one leopard, many elephants (with babies), crocodiles and monkeys among others. Our driver Yasha was super skilled in providing the best locations to spot the animals, gave information about them and made sure we were comfortable and happy with the experience. He also was careful and respectful towards the animals themselves by turning off the engine for instance and keeping the correct distance. We highly recommend it!

I was on top of the world - I feel alive again after long period of working without a break. I've aspiring to see a leopard and Yala made it a dream come through Their guide is everything you could ever imagine So stunning and amazing

Wonderful Experience - We had a very good diver. He was knowledgeable and didn’t ever crowd or go anywhere close to the animals. We managed to get a great view without disturbing their habitat and lucky to see a leopard. I feel most people who have negative experiences go for the cheapest option with drivers who care little for the animals and will drive as close as possible to get a view. Make sure you do your research as it’s an amazing experience and one we’ll never forget!

Fantastic experience - Had an amazing afternoon safari with Our guide. He was a great driver and had by far the most knowledgeable about the animals so far. He told us a lot about elephants, crocodiles and birds that we saw during the game drive. He knew exactly where to go. In the end we even saw a Leopard which was very far away though so do not expect to see one and ideally bring a good camera with zoom or binoculars.

Very nice experience - It was just superb with Sasanka who was our guide throughout the course. He was very involved and made sure that we saw as many wild animals as possible in the park. Thank you Sasanka!

Tip top safari - Had such a good time doing the 4 hour safari with Yashara as guide. He made sure we got to see all the animals (even leopards) and did routes that were not too busy. Would definetly reccommend :)
