“We really enjoyed this experience and highly recommend it. The team is fantastic. No detail is overlooked. We asked them to arrange transportation for us from our hotel in Tangalle to their campsite. The driver was there right on time and took us to the rendezvous point where they were waiting for us. We went to the camp, had an orientation about the day, enjoyed an absolutely delicious lunch before we rested a bit and then headed out for our first game drive.

The staff here are very professional, experienced and knowledgable. You can tell this is a passion for them. What I didn’t expect was absolutely delicious food!!! The food was spectacular!! A real treat. Part of me wanted to stay another night just for the meals! The happy hour was also really fun. They are great at making you feel at home.

The luxury tent was as beautiful as it looks in the photos. The bed was very comfortable and we slept very well. I also thought the bathroom was pretty cool and enjoyed the shower.

The game drives were great fun. We didn’t see any leopards (there was a closure of a section of the park with the highest concentration due to drought — we were here offseason) but really it didn’t matter because we saw so many other animals and birds. The elephants were my favorite.

The staff thinks ahead about your needs. It was raining so they provided ponchos, there’s water in the vehicle, binoculars, books about animals in case you want to reference something, etc.

If you want a unique experience with a team who is as passionate about the environment as they are about the animals, I highly recommend Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris. When we left, we planted a tree and that was really special for us. I appreciated the way they make you feel like the most valued guest they’ve ever had.”
