“Incredible Day in Yala National Park - We recently did the full day safari at Yala National Park and are so glad we booked via Lakpura. Our driver, Galappaththi from Panchi Safaris, was amazing, such a lovely guy. He clearly loved showing off the animals and the park. He got just excited as us when we spotted something, despite doing safaris for 15 years. I lost count of all the animals we saw throughout the day and we rarely felt crowded, despite the amount of jeeps around, thanks to Galappaththi. We just had the best day and didn’t want it to end.” - Reviewed on 2024-12-13
