River Safari - Our river safari in Bentota was an absolutely brilliant experience and a true highlight of our trip. A big part of what made it so special was our guide, Coca, who was exceptional from start to finish. His knowledge of the river ecosystem was impressive, and he had an incredible eye for spotting wildlife—we would have missed so much without him. Thanks to Coca, we were able to see monitors, crocodiles, snakes, and monkeys up close in their natural habitat. Beyond his expertise, Coca was also warm, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what he does. He went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable and made every effort to help us capture the best possible photos, which we really appreciated. If you're considering a river safari in Bentota, I can’t recommend it enough—especially if you’re lucky enough to have Coca as your guide. It was an unforgettable experience!

Unforgettable Bentota River Safari! - Our Bentota River Safari with Nisha Tours and Travels was truly an unforgettable experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was well organized and the team was very welcoming and professional. The boat ride through the beautiful mangroves was absolutely stunning. We saw so much wildlife along the river including crocodiles, monkeys, colorful birds, lizards and even a few hidden animals along the mangrove roots. The guide shared interesting information about the river and the ecosystem which made the safari even more enjoyable. The boat was comfortable and the ride was very smooth, allowing us to relax and fully enjoy the scenery and nature around us. It felt like a real adventure while still being peaceful and relaxing. If you are visiting Bentota, I highly recommend booking your river safari with Nisha Tours and Travels. It’s an incredible experience.
