Whole day safari - We had a great safari experience. Du was a very good driver. I liked that we started early and rushed in the morning, so we were one of the very first to enter the park.

It's an amazing experience in my life. - This price is not easy for us students, but Rowan showed us more than the price. First of all, it was my first time to go to a safari park and I didn't know everything, but they taught me the technical knowledge that this animal makes at these times and that leopards have these characteristics. It was also the first time in my life that I saw 180 degree stars without any obstructions, as if the stars I could see on the way to safari with a group at night were looking at a planetarium. We were also able to see three leopards four times and a chameleon which was difficult to see. It was a really fulfilling day and added a lovely memory to my life. Thank you so much.

Great Safari - It was an amazing experience. We saw a lot of wild animals. Su was an amazing guide with lots of knowledge and experience. I think it wasn’t the best time to do a safari but he made it a great experience and we saw one leopard and many other animals, especially the Elephants were a highlight. Su seemed to actually care about the wildlife and the park in general. Would def recommend it and do it again!

Amazing safari with a fantastic guide - We had an incredible full-day safari, and our guide Su made all the difference! His knowledge of the wildlife was outstanding, and he shared fascinating insights throughout the day. We saw so many animals thanks to his expertise. Highly recommend this experience!

Once in a lifetime adventure - We went on a full day safari and had a really inspiring experience. Our driver, Su is the most knowledgeable person and feels like home in the wild. He knew exactly where and when to look! We found leopards and many other animals based only on natural signs rather than information on the phone from other drivers. Because of this we could fully enjoy the natural environment, instead of piling up with the other jeeps!
I believe this is the real purpose of safaris!
Su is a wise man and stood as an example of how to respect nature and animals. Unfortunately many others are money-orientated and forget the most important - nature first, ego last.
Our safari was much more than expected and will be remembered!

His command at Yala - We went early and it was a very cool experience. His looks like the master of all the other guides. Thanks Su, you are the best Guide in the whole park🫶🏻

Great Safari Day - Get up early and enjoy a speedy drive to the national park in an open jeep. Our driver Su is very nice and endeavours to get us to the park as early as possible in order to be at the front of the queue.
He explains different approaches to the safari and we quickly agree with our companions how to approach the tour. We had a great day and even though we didn't get to see the famous leopard, we saw lots of animals, elephants, crocodiles, deer and much more, even a sloth bear.
Any time again!

Best place for leopard in the world indeed with so much more to see - First of all we have to share that everything with Yala Osha Safari was just perfect from start to finish. I would recommend to do a full day and if possible few days. We did 5 days in total my sister and I. The owner and guide are amazing personalities with beautiful life experience to share. Very nice and sweet families it was really inspiring to play a small part of their successes.
Our guide Sudu has 23 years experience in the park and he was truly incredible always putting the car in great position, anticipating leopard and bear crossing.
He is a senior and we could see that he is both friends with many other guides who call him for sightings and highly respected in the community.
Sudu was a very kind and caring person ensuring that we always get the best out of our journey. Great sense of detail. Base on what you want to see he will make the best possible plan
I am a very experienced safari guest and I can normally judge the quality of a guide in a day. Sudu will be in the top 5 guides I had in my 20 years experience.
We saw multiples leopard every day, sloth bear twice and multiple sightings of other wildlife.
We had really good sightings of leopard on trees, on rocks and on the roads.
We did Bloc 1 4 times which is definitively the best and block 5 which is beautiful and has a lot of birds of prey along the canal and a big group of hornbills.
The owner also an experience guide help us plan the next day each evening giving us a lot of flexibility. Their cars are in perfect working conditions and we did not have any issues for the whole 5 days.
One more point worth mentioning may be because that was a big question mark is the weather. We did 5 days at the end of July and did not encounter any rain.
I take this opportunity to thanks them dearly for all they did and by the way my wife did love the wild honey and sambar I brought back

Top companies top Guide - We had the whole day safari with sulu as we read from a blog that the company pays special attention to the welfare of the animals and not resting like all the other crazy ones through the park just to see leopards. He gave us the opportunity at the beginning to choose to enjoy the park or, like everyone else, to go leopard hunting. We decided for the former and the guide drove very comfortably with us through the park and explained a lot. His friendly nature made the day special and with his experience we felt in perfect hands. Because he is so experienced, he knows the park and all the secret spots like no other. I would highly recommend the tour with him and everything went great from booking to pick up. Lunch was also great and not too spicy. During the journey there are also small snacks such as fruit or breakfast and water at all times.
So thank you again and in the end we were lucky to see a leopard. Please bear in mind that it is not likely to see a leopard. It's a national park and not a zoo so don't go into this day with too much expectations
