Look no further! Best tour guide in Sri Lanka - Sam’s your Man - can even find you a Land Rover for your park tours! - We first toured with Sam in 2019 when we visited Yala, this time we chose to visit the Elephant Orphanage and Udawalawe National Park. Sam speaks clear English therefore we were immediately impressed with the communication prior to and during our visits over WhatsApp and messenger. On arrival Sam’s vehicles have always been in excellent condition and reliable. We have always felt safe and comfortable in Sam’s company and he has always been happy to go the extra mile from regular ‘comfort breaks’ to even helping us find somewhere to repair our sons phone for no additional expense. The day of our tour first we visited the elephant orphanage and saw in close proximity elephant feeding time. Watching the baby elephants scurrying around for their food and blowing their trunks asking for more milk was amusing. We then travelled to Udawalawe National Park where we were greeted by another tour guide in a Land Rover which was specifically requested in advance by my husband and organised by Sam. Sam stayed with us during our trip around the park where it was a magical experience seeing Elephants of all sizes in their natural habitat, there were elephants around every corner who were not phased by the vehicles whilst eating and generally chilling out in the dusk. The park also had crocodiles, land monitors and birds of many different species. All in all it was a magical day that our family will never forget and we cannot thank Sam enough for making all the arrangements for us. We have found Sam to be friendly and approachable and his tours to be reasonably priced and would not hesitate to recommend him or use him again on future visits to Sri Lanka

Great day with lots of animals - We had a lovely day and were picked up on time. Very good car and a great driver. 100% recommended.

A great day in Udawalawe Park - We had booked the Udawalawe elephant safari and orphanage excursion. Cham was already waiting for us at the port with a sign. On the way around the park he told us a lot and explained a lot. At the park, changing into the jeep went really well, the jeep was already there and waiting for us. In the park we saw lots of birds, water buffalo and elephants. After that we went to the orphanage. On the way there we drove past a reservoir and had time to take a few photos there. The lunch was delicious and not too spicy for us. Then we went to the orphanage where we could watch the feeding. It was very interesting. On the way back we stopped at a farm, which we looked at, and at a small local market with exotic fruits. We thought that was very nice. Then he drove us back to the port on time and we had a great day with him and were more than satisfied all round. We would book the next tour with him again at any time, we were more than satisfied. We would recommend it 100%. TOP
