“These guys are super professional and want you to see animals in the wild – and lots of them, hence lots of hours are spent ‘on safari’. Guides are educated and friendly – they know all the species of birds, animals
and we always felt confident and safe. And yes we saw leopards – but we also saw loads of other wildlife including elephants and tusker elephants, monkeys, peacocks, water buffalo, leaping gazelle thingo’s, the list goes on.
The food was exceptional – a lot of attention paid to traditional Sri Lankan cuisine with different food for every meal.
Accommodation is not quite glamping but is around the mark with all the necessary quality amenities and your own toilet and shower.
This isn’t a party place – safari comes first second and third; lights go out early in prep for 5am dawn safari, but the drinks flow ok over lunch and dinner if you so desire.
There is also an afternoon/dusk safari if you would prefer to snooze in the mornings. ”
