“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. Our guide was extremely dedicated, friendly, and knowledgeable. 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.

“My 2 day tour with overnight stay in spectacular Ella was the best use of my available time in Sri Lanka. It exceeded all of my expectations, I would not have changed a thing. An unforgettable experience that would not have been possible without the help of my expert guide, Sameera. I saw Sri Lanka's natural and local village beauty up close in a way I never imagined I would. Driving through the hill country was pure joy. I am very grateful for having found this wonderful service, being a solo female traveller and I highly recommend it to anyone.”
