Best Safari Experience in Yala! - ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Best Safari Experience in Yala – Leopards, Great Service & Delicious Food!” Our safari with Dinuka Safari Yala was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. The pick-up from Cinnamon Wild Yala was right on time and very smooth, and the drop-off afterwards was just as punctual – which made the whole experience stress-free. The real star of the day was our driver. He was so active and alert throughout the safari, constantly scanning for wildlife. Thanks to his sharp eyes, we were lucky enough to spot elephants, crocodiles, plenty of birdlife, and most importantly, multiple leopards! He always positioned the jeep perfectly so we had the best views without disturbing the animals. On top of that, Dinuka went the extra mile by treating us with free, delicious homemade food, which was such a thoughtful touch. Everything about this safari felt professional, friendly, and perfectly organized. If you’re staying in Yala and want the best chance to see leopards along with 5-star service, look no further than Dinuka Safari Yala!

Professional Guide and Fantastic Safari - I had a wonderful safari experience at Yala Park. Our driver, Ishan, was extremely polite, patient, and very knowledgeable, always explaining everything calmly and in detail. He was also very friendly, professional, and perfectly on time. The meals provided were delicious, and we were lucky enough to see almost all the animals we hoped for, except the bear. We even managed to spot the Sri Lankan leopard, although only from a distance and for less than 10 seconds – but I understand that’s part of the natural experience. Overall, it was a fantastic trip and I truly enjoyed every moment.

Amazing safari experience with Dilanka - This was such a great experience. Dilanka worked so hard to find and show as many animals as possible and we saw elephants, leopard, buffalos, crocodiles, dears, peacocks, monkeys, and so many other different animals and birds. Dilanka didn’t follow the crowds of jeeps, but rather took us to unique places where we were the only ones majority of time. I totally loved and recommend this experience.

Excellent safari experience at Yala National Park - We were lucky enough to see elephants, crocodiles, buffaloes, many beautiful birds, and even a leopard! It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to see so many wild animals in their natural habitat. The jeep was clean, spacious, and comfortable, and the ride was smooth even on the rough roads inside the park. The team also helped us with the tickets, so everything went very smoothly without any stress. We highly recommend this safari to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. Truly unforgettable and worth every moment!

Unforgettable Safari experience - Yala gifted us with unforgettable moments. A buffalo drowning in a muddy pool. A fight between two peacocks. A huge crocodile sunbathing on the banks. A baby elephant trying to imitate its mother. The constant surprises and natural wonders kept us glued to the edge of our seats. The sense of wonder was overwhelming – in the best way. It’s rare to have an experience
