Our story

A family of trackers who never lost the wonder

What began with a single jeep and a deep love for Yala has grown into one of Sri Lanka’s most trusted safari teams. We still run every tour the way we always have — small, personal, and led by people who read the jungle like a second language.

  • Born and raised on the edge of Yala — this is our backyard
  • Every guide is licensed by the Department of Wildlife
  • Well-maintained 4×4 jeeps with genuine open views
  • Direct booking means honest prices, no middlemen

Sandaru y laksiri fueron nuestros guías. Vimos todo tipo de animales incluso un leopardo, que suelen ser más difíciles de encontrar. Muy buena experiencia.

ツアー内容は記載の通りで、移動と観光をセットで安く出来、とても満足しています。 エッラに朝3時に迎えで、道路で10分ほど待っていたらバンが迎えに来てくれました。その日は10名がエッラから乗り込み、5時に大きい荷物はバンに置いたまま集合場所の様なところでジープに乗り換えてヤーラ国立公園へ向かいました。乗り換える際の説明などはあまりないですが、係の人が指示してくれるのでその通りにしていれば大丈夫です。6人乗りのジープに乗り、公園の入場料はその時は14200スリランカルピーを現金で運転手に支払いました。値段はその時の人数などによって変わるのだと思います。ちょうど公園に入ったのは6時頃で朝日がとても綺麗でした。そこから10時ごろまで公園にいて、11時にバンに戻り、ゴールの街に着いたのは14時でした。途中ご飯を食べる時間などはないので、移動中に食べられるものは必ず持って行った方がいいと思います。あと、お手洗いに行ける回数も集合場所の乗り換え時と公園入る前と、入った最中くらいしかないため行ける時には必ず行った方がいいです。ジープはかなり揺れるのと、砂埃で顔も髪も汚れるのでそのつもりの服装で行ってください。動物をどれだけ見れるかは運ですが、運転手の方が見つけるのが上手でヒョウは見れなかったですが満足しています。
