The safari was amazing and though at times it felt busy with jeeps it wasn’t uncomfortable. Our guide on safari was Max, and he was super knowledgeable and was such a calm presence. It felt like we were being really respectful of the animals. We mostly had our engine off just admiring everything from elephants to little green bee eaters. I thought there would be a cash line somewhere on the way so I could get a tip for max but had to go away and get one and come back. Be warned!
Kani our transfer driver was the ultimate professional from start to finish. We were so happy with the service. He was really lovely and chatty and gave us lots of interesting facts and history on Sri Lanka and the areas he took us to. He also was a very good driver, the journeys were really smooth which allowed us to sleep on the early morning pickups. We would give Kani 5 stars and would count ourselves very lucky if we were ever to have him as our driver again.
