"This company made a great Safari adventure for us. One of the most important things on a safari is the driver. And our driver was great. He always managed to be the first to reach the animals, even when there were many other cars around. We liked everything. I recommend these guys to everyone! Thank you Ansa the owner of Budget Arugambay Tours"

"It was a very important and fun trip. Sri Lankan Leopard, bear, wild buffalo, and deer are some of the most difficult animals to see up close. But we can see them very close. This company is a great safari company. Driver was really really good & very friendly."
Ross Daniels (Franch)
"We stay just one night at the Safari rooms and they were adequate for this period of time and reasonably close to a restaurant. The main reason for staying was because we had to be up very early for the actual Safari. So while not five-star it's a very good place to stay if you only want a few hours and take part in the early morning start on the Safari. Thank you Budget Arugambay Tours"

"We had a wonderful experience on the Yala safari today. From the booking process until the return, the team was very friendly, professional, and ensured everything was handled safely. The guide/driver were helpful and made the trip enjoyable. During the safari we were lucky to see a leopard, crocodiles, elephants, deer, and many beautiful birds. It was truly an amazing experience. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Yala! Ansa and Team"

"Amazing safari! We were lucky enough to get it to ourselves! But if you do have the extra cash to go private do it! Our driver was amazing and stopped to show us animals we didn't even see! Also was an amazing 4 wheel driving guy which we loved! Cannot recommend a better tour company! Plus we saw a leopard! Thank you Ansa"
Jo Colwell (Russia)
"We chose this company because of the great reviews and we were not disappointed. We had Bole as our guide, an expert spotter and didn't mess around getting to the location of the leopard sighting in time to catch a quick glimpse! We have done other Safari's so really appreciated his good driving, amazing eye and friendly nature. I think the key to Yala is who you know as the drivers tell each other where all the best spots are, and our guide was on the radio constantly keeping up with where to go at every turn. I can't thank him enough for an amazing day, we saw everything we came for and more! Highly Recommended Budget Arugambay Tours"

"Amazing tour company for Yala National Park. We arranged a half day morning tour of Block 1 and our driver Isha was fantastic. He arrived on time, and when we arrived to queue for the gates explained that he will go to all the spots where animals are usually seen. Once in the park he displayed excellent driving skills going around huge dips in the land and manoeuvring to the best spots for pictures, even with other vehicles around. He pointed out so many things we would have missed. We managed to see elephants, 3 leopards (although not very close) a jackal, lots of birds and buffalo, as well as a bear at the end that was so quick I couldn't get the camera out in time. Overall I'd highly recommend this company and driver Isha"
