    Amazing Experience !!! 🤩
    Amazing safari , they’ve organised everything for us , the guide was able to spot a lot of wildlife that we probably would have missed other ways. Friendly staff and good value for money ! Unfortunately we weren’t able to spot one of the 56 Leopard that reside in the national park 🥲, but it’s Nature.

    We had an unbelievable experience that we’ll never forget. Countless animals including leopards, elephants and 1 bear. Our tour guide and driver spoke exceptional English and kept us well informed throughout. Exceeded our expectations. Thank you Imam

    Lagoon safari is a must!
    We did the lagoon safari! Such a good experience would definitely recommend!! Great value for money. Shiham was such a great guide, he went above and beyond to make our experience good! We were picked up from our hotel and given food and drinks for the safari! The lagoon is lovely, so peaceful and so much wildlife! We were lucky enough to see 10 elephants!! So nice to see them in their natural habitat, in the fields and crossing the lagoon. We saw loads of birds too. They also took us to a surf point to get a 360 view of area and spot some surfing! Couldn’t recommend it enough! So nice to see another side of Arugam Bay! And everyone involved in the safari is so friendly :)

    Lagoon Safari Tour
    We went for the Lagoon Safari in Pottuvil. Sihan picked us up with his Tuktuk from our location in Arugam Bay and drove us to the lagoon. We were equipped with life vests and placed on a small boat. After a few minutes we spotted the first elephants. Sihan explained to us the characteristics of the wildlife in the mangrove forest. It was very interesting and we were able to take some nice pictures of the animals as well. We spotted monkeys, 9 elephants, sea eagles and so many birds. We visited Pottuvil beach for some nice sunset and watched the surfers. Sihan was very friendly and drove us back home after our safari. All in all, it was a very pleasant experience.

    Very impressive tour for all of our family ! In particular many great birds in a really exotic, dreamlike atmosphere!
    We (2 adults + 12 and 15 years old children) were on the half day Kumana Private Jeep Safari in the afternoon (end of July) and it was really incredibly impressive! It was not very crowded in the park (only a few jeeps) and the driver was very friendly and could drive very pleasantly! We also had a guide (a ranger) and he was also very nice and really a very experienced ranger and safari guide! He gave us a lot of background information and he was really very good at his job and we must have been very lucky because we saw almost all the animals you can see: - two sloths, bears - a leopard - elephants - crocodiles - deer And we also saw many great birds in a really exotic, dreamlike atmosphere. We can highly recommend this tour!

    Lagoon tour
    The silence of the lagoon is a wonderful escape from the busy city and the nature is beautiful. Our guide did his best to show all the beautiful places and told a lot about the lagoon and the animals you can see there. A fantastic 2 hours!

    Tuk-Tuk Safari 🐘 (2h)
    The Tuk-Tuk Safari (2h) was excellent 😊 Thank you very much! The driver was very friendly and tried to show us all the animals. The highlight was, of course, when an elephant came towards us on the road 😍

    Ideal first safari experience with children
    Amazing morning safari tour in beautiful Kumana park. We were lucky to see two of the parks leopards in addition to lots of other animals! Well equipped jeep with roof cover. Our guide was great, providing additional information and ensuring we had plenty of time to get any photos. He arrived promptly and brought snacks and drinks for breakfast. All in all, we were very happy with our safari! Kumana is a great park, and we only saw 3 other jeeps so not crowded at all.

We did the full day safari yesterday and it was realy Nice! Its pretty long but you see a lot of different kind of animals, you get to picknick for breakfast at the sea, lunch at a little river and mini waterfall, you could swim, the food is really good, drinks and snacks all day long… we really want to see the leopard but it’s nature so you never now… and the guide kept on looking on different places and finally found one :-). Put the motor off the car out and just relaxing and watch that beautiful animal doing his thing. The guide was also super friendly! English was not perfect but he tried so hard to show us everything he knew and to explain the best he could! Thanks a lot for this experience. Angie and Dimi!

We are very grateful for Redline holidays for our perfectly organized holiday. Very kind, helpful and honest people, who have worked hard to satisfy all our wishes. Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, the botanical gardens, Sigiriya Rock, traditional dancing cultural show in Kandy will always be unforgettable moments, just like Kumana National Park Safari, Arugam Bay beach, sunrises & sunsets, Rawana waterfall in Ella which are memories of a lifetime. It was a unique, personalized journey with really friendly and caring organizers and tour guide.
I was lucky enough to celebrate my birthday in beautiful Sri Lanka surrounded by wonderful people who made this day really special for me, with many surprises, like dinner on the beach, birthday cake, gifts and fireworks, all organized by Redline Holidays.
We must mention the unique, colorful & excellent Sri Lankan kitchen and spices.
We can't wait to go back. 🌞

Our guide and driver were really informative and tried very hard to find all kinds of wildlife for us! We were lucky and saw a leopard right at the end of the day as well as elephants, crocodiles, buffalo, boar, deer and lots of rare birds. We also enjoyed visiting the jungle temple. The food was also excellent and we enjoyed our rice and curry under the shade of big trees next to the river. The wildlife is most active at the very start or very end of the day and the middle of the day is very hot with not too much to see so we would suggest half day is better.

Our safari experience with Arugambay tours was great! We had a very knowledgeable driver and were extremely lucky to spot 2 leopards at a very close distance (often people don’t get a chance to see even one). Organisation was smooth and we were totally enjoying our time looking at elephants, crocodiles and birds in the park. Since we were visiting the park during Covid time, we appeared to be the only jeep on the territory, you most probably won’t have that luxury if you come during high season. But it’s a great activity to do anyways, totally recommended!

A once in a lifetime experience with a highly professional team offering the best experience in Kumuna! So many animals and birds, what made our trip was a great jeep, and our knowledgeable tour guide Ravi! He had an eye for wildlife and had so much knowledge to share. We saw alligators within 5min of leaving the hotel! Crazy how much there is to see! The booking online payment was convenient. A great memorable experience!

Had such a wonderful time on safari! It was so chilled and still so exciting at the same time. The guide was great and stopped at all the right moments for us. My tip would be to bring plenty of snacks and water as it's a long trip - in a good way!

Highly recommended full day safari.
Our guide Sandu was very skilful in spotting wildlife and a very safe driver.
We saw 6 leopards in total, including a mating pair, which we believe is very rare to see. We also saw lots of elephants, including babies, wildebeest, mongoose, deer, crocodiles and a wide variety of birds including the Black Neck Storked.
Huge morning tea of fresh fruit and delicious picnic lunch.

This company are BY FAR the best company to do a Kumana Safari with. We did a full day safari tour with them and could not have been happier with our decision. Our guide, Manaf, went out of his way to show us as much wildlife as possible, and definitely had eyes like a hawk!

We couldn’t believe our luck when we glimpsed a leopard at the back of the woods in the morning of our full day safari... however our guide wasn’t satisfied and kept looking until we got a clear shot of a leopard in the afternoon! Even on the way out of the park he drove out of his way to show us some elephants... all round top notch service!

We spoke to lots of others who hadn’t seen a leopard or an elephant on the day we visited... do yourself a favour and book with this amazing company for the best experience and guides.

We did a full day safari, having a driver and vehicle to ourselves. We had indicated that we wanted to see elephants in particular so the driver went out his way to ensure we saw them alongside of lots of other birds and animals. We were incredibly well fed (3 meals) including some delicious hoppers and fruit for breakfast and then an insane curry, rice, sambol and other sides for lunch. The driver was very knowledgeable and good at spotting the animals. Kumana National Park itself is beautiful and very peaceful. You arrive just in time for sunrise and it really is wonderful to be at one with nature and taking a break from the hustle and bustle. I would recommend this company 100 percent!
