What our Clients say
We take pride in serving our clients with the best experience. Read what they say.





From the moment I arrived, the team was extremely kind and welcoming!
Everything is organized with so much attention and care, which makes the whole experience feel effortless and very special.
The safaris were simply amazing! We saw so many animals, including leopards, which was honestly unreal. The guide was very knowledgeable and passionate, sharing so many interesting insights about the wildlife and the environment, which made each drive even more memorable.
The food was excellent, and you have the choice!
The rooms are absolutely exceptional, very comfortable and beautifully designed, and the pool is just perfect to relax after a safari. I also loved the little surprise of having some small “guests” visiting the garden, which made the place feel even more alive and connected to nature.
Overall, this experience was beyond anything I expected. If you’re looking for something authentic, immersive, and truly unforgettable in Sri Lanka, Leopard Safari is the perfect choice.


The game drives themselves were really interesting with our naturalist showing and explaining and the different wildlife. The driver was great as well. It was great fun having a cup of tea out in the park before heading back to camp for a really nice breakfast.
Our whole trip was topped off by seeing a leopard followed by a sloth bear in the last 15 minutes of our last game drive.

The site is really quite special, right in the middle of the national park, with wildlife all around. We did 4 drives in total and got very lucky, seeing Leopards quite close up on three occasions. I can't remember our driver's name but he was very knowledgeable and clearly very experienced. We also saw Elephants, buffalo, crocodiles and much more.
The lodges were so beautifully crafted. We really felt like we were living amongst nature without feeling unsafe. Beds were extremely comfortable and the outdoor shower a real novelty.
Food - this was a real highlight. It was some of the best food we had in all of Sri Lanka.
Staff - incredibly helpful and attentive. Cannot understand some of the previous reviews saying staff were intrusive, I never felt that. They were so kind. One afternoon we found time to lounge by the pool and we were immediately offered a beer as soon as we sat down!
I also loved dining with other guests, getting to know them and sharing stories. It really added to our trip.
I feel disappointed reading some of the reviews below, as I feel they show a lack of understanding of what they had booked, which is not Leopard Safaris fault.
I would 100% recommend booking with Leopard Safaris. It was the highlight our honeymoon in Sri Lanka.

The food was absolutely delicious, with a good variety and excellent quality at every meal. Cleanliness was outstanding throughout the property, which made our stay very comfortable and relaxing.
What really stood out was the eco-friendly approach and the staff’s genuine love for nature. The team was warm, attentive, and clearly passionate about wildlife and conservation, which added great value to the entire safari experience.
Overall, Leopard Safaris Yala offers the perfect blend of comfort, sustainability, and authentic nature hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable and responsible safari stay near Yala National Park. 🌿🐆🏕️🦌🐘⛺
