    We had a great safari with Onadi. Our driver was the kindest, most enthusiastic and respectful guide we could've wished for. He's been doing this for 15 years and it shows! He knows all about the animals in the park and he knows where they stay. We spotted most of the big animals on the full day safari (leopard, elephant, crocodile) so I'd say it's really worth it. Still not a guarantee though. Additionally he drove us to specific places to show us the birds we wanted to see, like the blue tailed bee eater and kingfishers. Definitely recommend!!

    We had the best day visiting Yala safari. We were lucky enough to spot a leopard and many other animals such as crocodiles, elephants, owls and lots more. Our driver Prasad was absolutely amazing, he was so friendly and informative and made our day so special. Not only did he spot lots of animals for us but also little details like showing us the different footprints of animals passing. I can't believe how good he was at spotting animals, some were far and some were camouflaged and he still managed to point them out. He gave us so many facts on the animals we seen and taught us so much. We highly recommend Prasad, he made our day. Thank you so much.

    Highly recommended. Here's his number if need... +94 770347262 , reach him on WhatsApp. An excellent day out in Yala National Park with Prasad, Onadi Yala Safa. We had excellent communication when planning and before meeting up, at 05.30 at our local Kataragama Hotel. He also had good english speaking, driving, and park guide skills. During our full day safari we saw elephants peacocks, wild boar, water buffalo, fox, mongoose, leopards, and much much more. Prasad organised a nice breakfast and lunch with beautiful stops by the lake & riverside. He is a very knowledgeable, fun and highly recommended park jeep driver and guide Peter UK

    What an amazing experience we had at Yala National park with the one and only Prasad as our driver and guide. He went above and beyond to make sure we spotted all animals in the park! We were even able to see a mother leopard and her cub along with 2 other leopards and many other amazing animals. We loved it so much we did an extra day all thanks to Prasad. Would really recommend this tour especially our amazing guide

    The best tour guide in Sri Lanka! Prasad was the most amazing tour guide / jeep driver for our day around Yala National Park! He was amazing at spotting animals, had so much knowledge to share about each one and we were luckily enough to see leopards along with lots of other animals including elephants and crocodiles! We booked the full-day tour which Prasad maximised our time in the park working hard throughout to find lots of animals! He also found amazing spots for us to have breakfast and lunch which he organised, which was delicious!

    Nice experience with the driver and guide Roshan. We were 4 people on a private tour and managed to see elephants, crocodiles, birds, very shortly - a leopard, and many other wildlife. He provided a yummy breakfast and lunch made by his wife. He was informative and tried very hard to get us a nice view of animals

    I had such a good tour with Onadi Yala Safari yesterday. Their guide Roshan was friendly helpful and knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of the park, and spoke very good English. Roshan also had his own camera with a great zoom lens (much better than mine!), and was happy to share his pictures with me from the day on whatsapp that evening. I did the full day tour and was very happy that I did, as we didn't see leopards until the afternoon. More time gives you more chance to see things, and as the entrance ticket price is the same it's worth it to choose the full day over the half day. I was lucky enough to see two leopards, an elephant, a wild rabbit, mongoose, crocodiles, wild boar, water buffalo, spotted deer, monkeys, monitor lizards, butterflies, eagles, painted storks, little green bee-eaters, ibis, peacocks, the ultra rare black-necked stork, and countless other birds. Of course these are all wild animals so there are no guarantees of seeing everything, but you won't be disappointed on a trip to Yala National Park. The park itself comprises beautiful wetlands and jungle scenery. Highly recommend!

    What a fantastic experience! We did the full day safari and it was not a disappointment. We saw everything that we hoped to, and honestly the tour guide couldn’t have been better. He is so knowledgeable and totally determined to find every animal we wanted to. I would assume the best tour guide in Sri Lanka.

    Best tour guide ever and also compared to other guide he makes a good price! He thinks like a leopard so he knows where to go to find one! It was a rainy day and normally very unlikely to see leopard but from over 60 guides in the park we were the lucky ones to see one up close because of his guiding skills. A lot of knowledge about the animals and he brought delicious homemade local food. Can highly recommend!

    Excellent experience, Prasad is very friendly and charismatic and is quick to point out anything you want to see. I spent 3 consecutive days and saw nearly 10 Leopards, 2 sloth bears, countless Eagles, Crocodiles and Kingfishers plus much more. Prasad also provided amazing home cooked meals and bottled water for each trip. Would recommend to anyone wanting to visit Yala and experience wildlife.

    We had a beautiful day packed with every animal we could wish for and more. He spoke very good English and had a lot of extra information on the different animals!

    Had a really great time with Onadi. Our driver "Sudda" had really good instincts on where to go and at what time. And so we got to see not only the magnificent leapord nicknamed "Jerry", but also the bear and a husker too on the same trip. On top of this, sudda was very friendly and enthusiastic to show us rare wildlife moments throughout our stay inside Yala (Warahana Bungalow) πŸ‘

    I did the safari tour with Prasad a few days ago. He described the possible tours (half and full day) very good and also the costs for it were transparent. We saw a lot of animals thanks to his experience and his knowledge. I highly recommend him for doing a safari in Yale National Park.
