Leopardensafari im Yala-Nationalpark – Halbtages-/Ganztagestour

Wir hatten einen tollen Ganztagesausflug im weniger belebten Park. Sie bekommen sowohl Frühstück als auch Mittagessen inklusive, was großartig ist. Es ist ein langer Tag, aber seien Sie bereit, einige erstaunliche Sehenswürdigkeiten zu sehen. Wir haben diese Tour und Block 1 gemacht und das war definitiv die bessere Erfahrung. Morgens konzentrierten wir uns auf die großen Lose und sahen einen Leoparden, der in diesem Block Glück hatte. Am Nachmittag arbeiteten wir mit unserem Fahrer und er brachte uns zu einigen ruhigeren Seen, wo wir Zeit verbringen konnten, nur zuzusehen und zu warten. Keine anderen Jeeps und nur das Geräusch der Natur. Wir wurden belohnt mit einer Gruppe von Elefanten, die gerade aus dem Jungen gingen und Vögel, die Fische fingen. Ziemlich magisch.

I booked due to the reviews and the 30years experience and extra time Shehan promised on their website. Its actually an overpriced Yala non-safari. Advising they are knowledgable experts and offer an extended safari time to allow you to see more animals. I paid $112 not including travel to and from Yala. Price only included binoculars and bottled water. Neither binoculars or bottled water were offered or even available during the "safari", I cant call it a safari as you would need to see animals you cant see outside of the national park, for free for it to be a safari. We entered the park at 15:30 and were told to leave the park at 17:30 so the "extended time" I was charged for was never received. On top of the fact we were only on "safari" for 2 hours, we didnt even see the animals almost guarenteed on a safari, remembering yala has the highest population of most of the animals.. NO CROCODILES NO ELEPHANTS, NONE! NO LEOPARD, The leopard is slightly understandable as its pot luck, but no elephants?!?! Doesnt sound like knowledgable safari guides to me or the other 5 disappointed people in the jeep. Book with somewhere else. Shehan were very responsive when i wanted to cancel the safari and advising me the afternoon (i booked morning) was the best time to see the animals, not the morning. Weirdly no reply at all when I've emailed about the disappointment in them not delivering what I paid for (extended safari time, water, binoculars, experienced guide working to find the animals).... pay less elsewhere and save your disappointment. Oh sorry i should add we pulled 2 jeeps out of the mud, after this is when we were told to leave the park by a ranger and the driver took us to a nearby temple to see a 'pet' elephant as, and I quote, "we didnt see any animals"

Excellent safari with Yasanka today! He was a great driver and we we lucky enough to see a leopard, heaps of deer, baby crocodile, lots of birds and a sloth bear! Picnic lunch was a lovely touch and overall I would thoroughly recommend him!!
