EXCELLENT Based on 18 reviews Nadja Meier2025-07-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was our first safari. The guide showed us the elephants and looked for other animals and gave us plenty of time to enjoy them. He has a lot of knowledge and was able to tell us a lot. So grateful. LAURA I C2025-07-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Hoy hemos hecho el safari de 4 horas con Lasindu y ha sido un gran acierto. Se ha esforzado mucho en ir encontrando muchos animales variados y hemos tenido elefantes al lado. Además de buen conductor (el terreno no está muy bien) es gran guía que explica todo sobre los animales. Muy recomendable.

Mieliśmy nawet okazję zobaczyć małe słoniątka podczas kąpieli 😉 serdecznie polecam! Niklas Meier2025-07-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Safari mit Lasindu (über unser AirB&B EdenHaven Cottage) war überragend! Er hat uns pünktlich mit einem tollen Jeep abgeholt. Während der Safari hat er auf alle Fragen zu den Tieren antworten können und hat von sich aus sehr viel erklärt! Lasindu spricht sehr gutes Englisch. Wir würden jedem eine Tour mit ihm empfehlen! Silvia Scaldaferro2025-04-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Abbiamo fatto un safari davvero bellissimo. Il nostro accompagnatore è stato premuroso, ci ha raccontato diverse cose sugli animali e ci ha portato in punti meno turistici. Bellissima esperienza anche la colazione a bordo del lago. Grazie Lasintu! gavin J2025-04-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent, friendly and knowledgeable guide. We lost count of the animals we saw today! vfbfreak1232025-03-17Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wir waren auf Safari mit Lasindu. Wir haben sie über unsere Unterkunft, das EdenHaven Cottage gebucht und wurden dort auch abgeholt. Wir konnten dank Lasindu viele Tiere wie Elefanten, Krokodile, Affen, Wildschweine, Pfauen und viele weitere sehen und das trotz stellenweise Regen. Zudem konnte er viel erklären und wusste die Tiernamen fast alle auch auf Deutsch. Auch die Pause am Fluss mit lokalen Leckereien war super. Wir würden die Safari sofort wieder mit ihm machen 🐘 martijn van den hoek2025-02-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Geweldige safari inclusief lunch. 38 olifanten gezien. Helemaal blij! Emma Bailey2025-02-06Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing safari tour with Lasindu. He was very kind and knowledgeable, he picked quiet spots which did not have other jeeps around. It was lovely to have a quiet breakfast and enjoy the sounds of the national park. Thank you so much! Jocelyn Grigor2025-01-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Iasindu’s tour was great. We basically had most animal sightings to ourselves, good creature spotting & i like that he was familiar with all the things we saw & shared some of his knowledge with us. Thank you for a wonderful experience. 🤙🏼
