Great safari & super knowledgeable driver/guide. - We did the afternoon safari, in which we saw all the animals that are in the park. A leopard, sloth bears, mongoose, elephants, different species of birds. This is fully down to the amazing driver, Yashara, who took us through some quieter areas to ensure we could see everything we wanted to! He was really knowledgable and gave us all the insight and context on what we were seeing etc.
Would definitely recommend this company, although there was a slight mix up initially with our hotel not being listed (we were v close to the park entrance and they wanted us to head out in to town to meet the driver) but this was all sorted over WhatsApp and they arrived straight to our hotel. 🙂
Just beware that this is the price for the driver & vehicle and you will need cash to pay the park entrance (13,000 rupees when we went).

Superb safari experience - I accidentally booked for the spring day but they were very accomodating in letting us change. The driver arrived early and we were the first ones. He was early getting us to the safari gate as well. He had a Toyota hilux which could navigate the worm roads inside the safari easily. He did an amazing job at getting us a prime view of the baby elephants, and a sighting of a leopard. A great trip and would highly recommend!

Our safari adventure at Shehan was truly unforgettable - Our safari adventure at Shehan was truly unforgettable! With Yasha at the wheel, we spotted an impressive array of animals. His exceptional driving skills and ability to gather information quickly allowed us to beat the crowds and get up-close views. Thank you, Yasha, for an unforgettable experience

Don’t think, just book with Yasha - Safari over all was great! We saw all the animals we could see in this area. Our driver - Yasha was getting information very quickly where the animals were visible and had excellent driving skills thanks to which we were always among the first to arrive at scene. Every time Yasha often gets some inside info (for instance all the people were watching elephant and he told us that we need to go because he has something much better that noone knew about it and it was bear sloth) about the animals like where they might be, he rapidly goes crazy, started speeding and passing all the vehicles to be there asap. Highly recommend the company and especially driver Yasha.

Bit disappointing - Really only wanted to see a Leopard but only seen its bum lying on a tree so far away. Still exciting though, seeing all the other animals but we were disappointed not being able to see a full sized leopard! Just your luck!

Worthwile safari tour with leopard spotting - This tour was good and well worth it, the driver was very knowledgeable and made every effort we would see as many animals as possible: mainly water buffalos, birds, crocodiles, some elephants and 1 leopard.
Make no mistake, even though this tour is advertised as "leopard tour", you will most likely only see leopards from afar, sleeping on trees. This is not an "evening safari", as advertised - but an afternoon safari, where predators are all sleeping (like cats at home). Actual night safaris, rightly so, do not exist, as this would be too invasive for animals.
So considering your options: yes, do this tour, worthwile! And book it here on Tripadvisor, my hotel wanted to sell a similar tour at US$200

Scam - Terrible, the only contact we received from the tour provider was that we waited for him at 5:20 in the morning at the hotel, not only did he not show up at the agreed time, but he was 30 minutes late, by then we had already arranged with the hotel for another tour. We are also denied a refund even though the service was not performed. Not recommended.
This tour is also double the cost of tours you can get locally for the same service. Save your money and arrange through your hotel!

Disappointing Safari Expereince - The wildlife observed was minimal, with only a few birds, a lizard, one elephant, and a water buffalo seen during the visit. The situation worsened when a group of about 30 jeeps waited to spot a leopard, but the animal did not appear.
