Mahoora - Yala by Eco Team

The Safari with Dilhara and Kasun was really nice. Dilhara knows a lot about the animals and was really good in spotting the Leopards. We saw 5 Leopards including a mother with two babys. They were really respectful towards the animals and Kasun turned off the engine as soon as we were close to them.

We spent one of our two days completing the Safari with the wonderful Dilhara who took us on a tour of Yala national park. He was so knowledgable about all aspects of the wildlife and natural habitat of the animals that we encountered. Genuinely proud to share with us what he knew and excited to accompany us on the hunt for wildlife. The highlight was finding a herd of elephants and even getting close enough to touch the one Dilhara knew well- affectionately named Raja. Would defo recommend - even with the 5am alarm haha

We spent 3 nights at Mahoora tented safari camp. The food and service from the staff was excellent. We went on 4 half day safaris and one full day and were accompanied by a wonderful naturalist called Vimansha on all of the safaris. His enthusiasm for wildlife was contagious and his knowledge of the wildlife and especially birds was encyclopedic! One of the safaris was to Bundala where not only did we see many birds but also some elephants and the scenery was beautiful. Worth the drive as also very peaceful there. The drivers on all our trips were great turning off the engine at each stop and one of them spotted a leopard for us.

We were there for 2 days and had a very great time! It‘s an unique experience to sleep in the wild inside a tend without giving up a good service and daily cleaning. (Besides, during the whole day you can enjoy small safaris around the camp) The safari was amazing.! We had a gread guide (Dilhara) with an amazing driver . With already having some good knowledge about the animal world, we still have learned a lot of details and facts about the park, animals and actualities. thank you camp for the nice experience!

Absolutely fantastic experience with Dilhara and Samantha. 4 of us went on a day safari in Yala. The whole process was extremely smooth and well planned out vs other safari's we'd been on. Dilhara was highly knowledgable on everything from animals, to the park, interesting facts and he had an absolute eagle eye for spotting animal interactions around the vehicle. We managed to see 4 leopards on the trip too which isn't always guaranteed, so needless to say, we had a great time - 10/10, would highly recommend!

Had great two safari's with guide Dilhara and driver Asanka. We are travelling with two younger kids and they always looking out for them. They quickly manouvered us to a good spot to spot the leopards and Asanka made sure with smart moves that we had a great viewing point. At the same time Dilhara shared much of his knowledge (and he was Truely knowlegable) about the nature and animal kingdom with us. Which made the trips even more valuable. All in all great experience. With many many animals! The tents were also spacious and perfectly clean. Al tough was super Hot days, with the big fans still doable in the night and both kids slept fine.
