Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Mikekrob0 contributionsDo itAn absolutely brilliant way to see a game park from a cruise ship without paying cruise company prices Everything ran like clockwork We got to the park Our guide was outstanding and we were treated to a medley of wild animals Absolutely with the £100 each we spentWritten December 13, 2024
- Thmcrlynn0 contributionsAmazing!We did the full day safari - The entire day was amazing, and we got to see so much wildlife. We saw: • Elephants - including a few baby elephants! • a crocodile • a golden jackal • Lots of peacocks - including quite a few dances • Monitor lizards • Mongooses • lots of doffernet birds - eagles, hawks, painted storks, herons, toucans, hornbills, parakeets, bee eaters • Spotted deer • Samba Deer • Water buffalo • Monkeys (Langars and macaques) Our driver, Darmasiri, was fantastic. He had eagle eyes, and noticed so many animals that we wouldn't have ever spotted ourselves. His English was great, so he was able to tell us about many of the animals and answer our questions. He also had binoculars which we were able to use too We had a fantastic time, and would highly recommendWritten December 13, 2024
- maddiedurnell0 contributionsIncredible Day in Yala National ParkWe recently did the full day safari at Yala National Park and are so glad we booked via Lakpura. We had friends that did it through another company and had a terrible time. Our driver, Galappaththi from Panchi Safaris, was amazing, such a lovely guy. He clearly loved showing off the animals and the park. He got just excited as us when we spotted something, despite doing safaris for 15 years. I lost count of all the animals we saw throughout the day and we rarely felt crowded, despite the amount of jeeps around, thanks to Galappaththi. We just had the best day and didn’t want it to endWritten December 13, 2024
- maddiedurnell0 contributionsAmazing Dusk SafariWe recently booked an evening Safari through Lakpura and it was amazing. Our driver, Darmasiri from Max Safaris, was really lovely and super knowledgable. We saw so many animals and Darmasiri gave us as much time to enjoy watching them as we liked, we didn’t feel rushed once. We kept largely away from other jeeps, so it felt pretty quiet and peaceful. Would definitely recommend both Lakpura and Max SafarisWritten December 13, 2024
- X1921EGabigaild0 contributionsAn amazing elephant experienceWe had the most wonderful time on the Elephant safari. Lakpura Leisure went above and beyond to help us celebrate our anniversary. Our guide Asela was very knowledgable and ensured that we had the best experience seeing the elephants. We couldn’t have asked for better, thank you :)Written December 10, 2024
- Q6741PLmichaels0 contributionsStunning train rideChunugu from Mahawala tours got me on the right train/seat for a brilliant train ride with stunning scenery. Great trip. He collected me at Nanu Oya for the rest of the drive, no problems. Would have liked to have spent more time in Nuwara Eliya & if I had of done a little more research & asked I'm sure I could have, so no fault of Chunuga. Nice tea factory on the way back. Good use of limited time for a trip into the hills.Written December 9, 2024
- rosieserge0 contributionsElephants galore!What a fantastic place to visit. We saw so many elephants, at least 40 and all were close enough that if you only have your phone for photos then it would be enough to get great shots. Whilst the elephants were the highlight we also saw buffaloes, jackal, mongoose, monitor lizards, black necked hare, kingfishers, bee eaters, peacocks (which are everywhere), spotted deer, crocodile, fruit bat, parakeets, minor birds, frogs, jungle fowl (the national bird), painted storks, pond herons and numerous other birds. We were picked up and dropped off at our accommodation and the safari jeep was ideal for a great view of the wildlife.Written December 8, 2024
