Yala 4h Jeep Safari: Guided Wildlife Experience (All Inclusive)

I am very pleased I booked by Yala day safari with Shiran. I was picked up from my accommodation and travelled to Yala in a decent vehicle with a great driver. The safari experience was great, the guide was very good indeed. Booking with Shiran was easy and a decent price and importantly, their communication is top notch as well. If and when I come back I would use Shiran again for sure.

We went on the Yala safari on Monday 24 January. What a great day out. Shiran and his team were great too. Yala National Park is a beautiful area of Sri Lanka and a must do for anyone visiting. Shiran made sure we were comfortable and looked after us throughout the day Thank you very much Shiran for an unforgettable experience

Early morning start on the 5th September, drove to outskirts of yala and switched cars from air-conned minibus to jeep. What an amazing experience!!, we saw a huge amount of wildlife and birds. Tonys knowledge was amazing and told us all about the animals and bird species that we saw. Unfortunately we did not see any leopards but we did see a recent deer kill but the leopard did not let us see it. another fab tour with Tony

We had 4 really good days with Shiran. We were on safari in Yale, boat safari in Bentota river, village tour, Galle, turtle rescue centre, snorkelling, tea plantation and factory, traveled by train and a lot of other things. Shiran made a lot of little stops on the way to show us all kinds of things, and a lot of places we would never had seen on our own. Shiran is very service minded, he is kind, has humor, and he loves Sri Lanka, knows a lot about the country, and wants to give you the best experience.

We met the guys from Shiran travels and tours on our first day in Bentota. We found the whole team to be extremely honest, knowledgeable and trustworthy and so decided to go with them on Safari to Yala National Park. Shiran and his team arranged everything and we were even lucky enough to have him join us on our trip - his knowledge and enthusiasm for Sri Lanka is infectious!! I can honestly say the visit to the park was one of the most memorable experiences of my life, seeing so many animals in their natural environment was incredible. We were lucky and got to see monkeys, elephants, sloth bears (including cubs), crocodiles, and even a couple of leopards!! I would not hesitate to recommend this trip or Shiran travels and tours to anyone and would happily use them again the next time we visit Sri Lanka!

Shiran is a nature lover, a wise and generous man. He organized for us various activities such as the Yala safari, the boat safari on the Bentota river ( which is very good to adjust to the area when you just arrived ), the snorkeling etc. Above all Shiran, having a great sense of hospitality and respect, will ease your stay in providing advice and additional services (he drove us to the Brief garden and to the elephant festival spontaneously ) which will make your vacation very relaxing. In one word I would summarize our experience with Shiran as outstanding!

After a great experience on a whale safari arranged by Shiran Tours, we chose the same company for a Yala safari. We were picked up at out hotel on time and after 4 hours including a few short stops, we had lunch and then entered the jeep. Shiran Tours cooperate with a company with really skilled drivers. He did everything he could to show us as many animals and birds as possible during the safari. It was a fantastic day! A few days later we also went on the Bentota river safari, arranged by Shiran tours, and had the opportunity to see crocodiles, birds, snakes, monkeys and other animals. We can certainly recommend this company! They sincerely want you to return home with memorable experiences. Thank you Shiran, for great days! Niklas and Kristina from Sweden

Myself and my husband went to Yala for the day from Hikkaduwa. We had the pleasure to meet Lakshitha and had an amazing time. Lakshitha was very punctual when he picked us up from the hotel and he patiently waited for us to finish our breakfast without any rush. All the timings and itinerary were explained and followed. It was a pleasant and comfortable drive all the way to Yala and back. We had many questions and curiosities about Sri Lanka and the driver helped us understand better the Sri Lankan way of life. While in Yala we had a local guide pointing us all the wildlife and we accomplished the viewings we were expecting - leopards, water buffalo, different mongoose, deers, crocodiles and loads of birds. There was no hassle or chasing the animals around. We totally recommend this company as they understand our needs and plan for the day accordingly. The patience and good vibes from the driver - Lakshitha Dilshan- really made this long day amazing. =)

We were very happy with this tour. The driver turned up on time and stopped off on the way to get some fresh king coconut. We saw a leopard, elephants, monkeys, warthogs, crocodiles, birds etc. it was a long day but that’s because we stayed in Bentota but it was ok and worth it. We also did a tour of the temples and freed the turtles which was a nice experience. Would recommend this company without question

Fantastic drivers, Shiran is a great tour guide, very knowledgable and helpful. You can custom your tour and add other bits in as well. So helpful, 100% recommend. Also do the Bentota tour by tuk tuk which is amazing, and the tea plantations, waterfall and loads more!!

Shiran gave us an unforgettable day with lots of experiences! His knowledge of the flora and fauna is particularly worth mentioning. He was also able to tell us a lot about the country and its people. There was always time to take great photos. I can really recommend Shiran, as he speaks German quite well. There may be cheaper providers, but certainly no better ones!

We took Shiran on the Yale Safari and a snorkel trip. Shiran has its info booth right on the beach of Avani Bentota Hotel. Shiran is super nice, speaks very well German is very reliable and punctual. Both trips were a lot of fun for us and our children. Shiran explained everything about flora and fauna and local customs along the way. He always tried to fulfill all our wishes. Whether shopping or currency exchange, Shiran was a great help to us. Thank you for the lovely experiences.

We took the excursion with Shiran. He gave his best to live a beautiful experience. He made us taste the local cuisine. We also made lipton seat where it was to little care. Thank you for everything and maybe see you soon...

Had booked a day tour with Shiran Tours, our expectations were more than met. Very friendly helpful provider. The safari was a highlight all the animals of the park even saw a leopard at the end of the ride still what is actually lucky but he and his driver try everything to make this possible. Great day thanks to you !!!!

We met Shiran and his boys on the beach right in front of our hotel and can only count ourselves lucky because what we are offered here is really worth every praise. These guys take care of everything and are really the contacts you want in a country with foreign culture and one or the other stumbling block! From the small shopping where you always took care of the cheapest local price to the 2-day trip to the Yala National Park & Ella including overnight stay in the great hotel where we even had a nice evening with Shiran and his friendly hotel manager over wine and Arak, we could experience Sri Lanka at its best. Restaurants, surf lessons, river safari, snorkeling or just the delicious coconut on the beach - these guys make everything possible. Clear recommendation, couldn't be better!!!
