“An AMAZING afternoon at Minneriya national park with Vijith. Absolutely loved every moment. We saw 20-25 elephants including some baby ones which was so special. Vijith took us to some secluded spots where at times we were the only ones with the elephants. He maintained a good distance from them at all times so as not to disturb the animals at all but still enabled us to get some amazing photographs. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best afternoon. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you very much!”

“Koshala is a very friendly guy! We had a wonderful safari tour and were absolutely thrilled. We were able to see elephants from very close range, which was an incredible and emotional experience.

He made a great effort to show us the elephants in a respectful way without disturbing them, and he shared many interesting facts about the animals and the national park. You could really feel his passion for wildlife and nature. The tour was very well organized, and we felt safe and well taken care of throughout. This safari was one of the highlights of our trip to Sri Lanka,…”

“We had a great day with Ishan! He picked us up at the hotel in the morning and brought us back in the evening. We set off straight into the national park at 6am. We were very lucky and saw a leopard walk right past us. As Ishan has a lot of experience, we stopped at the spot and waited, as he said the leopards usually come out again. And bam, there he came again! We saw it very close and it was great. Afterwards, he continued with us through the park and tried to fulfill all our wishes and spot as many animals as possible. We saw 4 leopards,…”
