    Amazing Family Safari Experience

    I don't usually write reviews, especially for well-known companies, but my experience with this family-owned business was fantastic. The room and service were excellent. The family was friendly and approachable, making for a delightful safari experience. Dasun was particularly impressive; he always had a warm smile and was an excellent driver. He took his time, never rushing us, and his jeep was comfortable with good seating and great food. Dasun also had a keen eye for spotting various birds and shared interesting information about them, which added to the experience. The elephant sightings were spectacular—we saw many and had plenty of time for pictures and observing their behavior. I highly recommend the full safari experience over the half-day option. The pricing is quite reasonable, so I suggest you make the most of it. Overall, I would rate this a 5-star experience. The only minor issue, which isn't the fault of the business, was that the road leading to it was a bit poorly maintained, but it was only about 100 meters and not a significant problem. The family even arranged transportation to the main street to help us avoid that rough patch.

    Exceptional Stay in Southern Sri Lanka

    Throughout our journey in southern Sri Lanka, we experienced many lovely places to stay, but this one truly stood out. Right from the start, we felt welcomed like friends. The safaris were undoubtedly the best part of our trip. Dasun was exceptional, ensuring he never got too close to the animals or drove too fast, showing his deep knowledge of the national parks and his genuine care for the wildlife. Ishara crafted the most delightful dinners for us, making each evening a memorable experience. We are definitely looking forward to returning to see them again.

    Great Wildlife Experience in Yala

    Our time in Yala was truly remarkable. Dasun, our guide and driver, is quite the professional; he mentioned that he used to work for the government wildlife department. He went above and beyond to help us spot wildlife, particularly leopards and bears—and we were lucky enough to see two leopards! A long lens camera is essential for this trip, and Dasun kindly lent us his binoculars, which were incredibly useful. If you're a bird enthusiast, this is the perfect choice, as he has extensive knowledge about various species.

    Great Safari Experience at Yala

    I went on a safari at Yala National Park with Dasun, who proved to be an excellent guide. His extensive knowledge about animal spotting really shone through, thanks to his 13+ years of experience. We had the incredible fortune of seeing elephants, a leopard, a bear, and much more on our adventure!

    Magical stay with amazing hosts

    Our stay was absolutely incredible. From the delicious food to the thrilling safari, and the warmth of our hosts Ishara and Dasun, we had a truly magical experience. The setting right by the lake was stunning, and we enjoyed watching numerous birds. We took a boat tour of the lake at sunset, which was breathtaking. Ishara prepared some of the finest meals we've had in Sri Lanka. Our safari with Dasun at Yala was fantastic; he had extensive knowledge of the local birds and wildlife, spotting many things that other guides missed. He was an exceptional guide. We wholeheartedly recommend this place to everyone and look forward to returning.

    Stunning views and great service

    This place is truly fantastic. The rooms feature large windows that offer a breathtaking view of the lake. The food is delicious and prepared fresh by the owner's wife, Ishara—she even helped us arrange a bus to Arugam Bay. We went on a safari with the owner, Dasun, and it was a wonderful experience; everything was straightforward and well-organized.
