“The pickup was on time. The car was perfectly clean & comfortable. Our guide/driver, Milan, was a great companion for this long journey. We discussed SriLanka & life. A real pleasure.

“Helaas door het regenachtige weer weinig dieren gezien, maar daar kan de tour niets aan doen uiteraard. Bij ons waren 2 personen aanwezig: een chauffeur en een “ranger”. Volgens de omschrijving zou de tour in Engels zijn, maar de chauffeur sprak zeer gebrekkig/slecht Engels en de ranger sprak helemaal geen Engels. De ranger lag overigens ruim de helft van onze tour te slapen in de jeep, dus echt dierenspoten werd niet gedaan.. Daarnaast was de chauffeur bevriend van diverse chauffeurs van andere jeeps, waardoor hij continu hen op zocht en telkens zo’n 10 minuten stil ging staan om met hen te praten, in plaats van dieren spotten/rond rijden. Wij zijn…”

“We werden opgehaald bij ons verblijf wat net buiten de ophaal locatie lag. Dat was erg aardig. Van tevoren had ik al contact met de gids via whats app. Anudpa zou onze gids zijn en haalde ons ook op, maar voor de ingan vabhet park nam houssie het over want anudpa zei dat zijn opa was overleden en hij niet kon. Ik vroeg nog of de gids ook Engels sprak en dat zou geen probleem zijn. De gids sprak dus alleen maar 10 woorden Engels ofzo. Dat was heel jammer want hij kon ook niet altijd uitleggen hoe de dieren heetten. Houssie was wel een hele aardige gids en hij…”

“Transfert hôtel au parc très bien rien à dire. On été présent 10min avant l’ouverture du parc ce qui nous a permis d’être la première jeep à rentrer dans le parc. Le safari a durée presque 5h de 6h à 11h. L’entrée du parc nous a coûtée 11 000 LKR/p. Il me faisait pas beau temps donc nous avons pas vu bcp d’animaux. Le chauffeur de la jeep était très bon. Notre guide lui a bcp dormi pendant le safari… Nous recommandons tout de même cette expérience.”
