We were picked up from our hotel near Colombo For the 7 hour journey.
We paid £285 per person - we were a group of 12.
The tour person only spoke to us twice. Once for money for the tolls and again for diesel money. I won't repeat our response. Surely that is included in the cost! I have never been asked for that before. It made a long journey very uncomfortable.
We were picked up near the safari site by the safari drivers and from then on the experience was brilliant.
The lodges are amazing and the whole safari experience was brilliant and we saw leopards which was amazing.
The safari staff were all brilliant and made it a memorable trip.
Sadly we then had to endure another 7 hours in a bus with mr happy when it ended.
I did complain to the travel organisers viator but so far 3 weeks later have had no reply.
To summarise: if you are thinking of doing this safari, book it when you are in Sri Lanka or via asda tours in negombo who did the same experience for £150 per person.
