  From the moment our guide picked us up at Colombo Airport, we knew we were in for the trip of a lifetime. His knowledge of the country, history, and especially the parks and wildlife we encountered, was truly first class. We spent seven days traveling across the island. starting in Negombo, then heading to Wilpattu, Sigiriya, Horton Plains, and finally Yala. Each day and every park brought something new and unforgettable. My first view of Minneriya is something I’ll never forget, and seeing so many elephants in their natural habitat was incredibly moving both moments genuinely brought a lump to my throat. The scenery across the parks was wonderfully diverse, and if you’re planning a trip to Sri Lanka, I’d highly recommend visiting as many as possible to fully appreciate everything this country has to offer. All the lodges we stayed in were of a very high standard, with great food, clean rooms, and all the facilities we needed. When it came to wildlife, we were completely spoiled encountering the Sri Lankan “Big Three” multiple times, something I could never tire of. Having been on safaris in several African countries before, we had high expectations but Sri Lanka exceeded them on every level. It truly delivered an experience far beyond anything we had imagined.Show more

  The communication was easy from the moment of reservation, with Lahiru replying quickly and making arrangements for us. The safaris themselves were awesome, and Kesara was the best guide ever! He taught us a lot about Sri Lanka, its people, and culture during the drives between the different parks. We chose the minivan option, which was very convenient. During the game drives, he shared so much knowledge about the animals and was amazing at spotting them (20/20 vision!), allowing us to take the best pictures while always respecting the animals (keeping a safe distance and never harassing them). He was also very kind and funny, always bringing a great atmosphere. We saw so many animals during the trip, including one magnificent leopard in Yala (Lukus) at sunset in the rain. truly magical! The places where we stayed (Wilds Wilpattu Lodge in Wilpattu Park and Jetwing Jungle Lodge in Yala) were incredible as well. The rooms were clean, the beds were comfortable, and the food was delicious with options for all tastes. The staff were very welcoming and kind. In other places, we had a great mix of resorts and hotels, which were excellent too. I think the itinerary was very well planned, beginning in Negombo and ending in Galle. We had enough time to fully enjoy the game drives, as well as some relaxing moments by the pool, which made the trip not tiring at all. In conclusion, we would highly recommend this trip to anyone. and one more shoutout to the best of the best guide, Kesara!Show more

  This safari tour with SkyHaven Tours was awesome. 10 out of 10. Each park had its own unique beauty, and we saw all the game possible in incredible numbers. Our guide, Wasantha, was knowledgeable and made sure we were always well taken care of while helping us see the best sights. Every lodge we stayed in was 4-star or better. The tent experience was “glamping” and a lot of fun. At no point did we have any concerns, except maybe that we hadn’t tipped enough! In addition to the game drives, we were able to visit some very important cultural and Buddhist sites in Sri Lanka, which was another highlight of the trip. Visiting a working tea factory and tasting Ceylon tea was also a great experience. The trek through Horton Plains National Park was amazing. you walk through a cool climate and hardly feel tired, and the views at the end are fantastic. We also upgraded to include a balloon ride, and it was absolutely worth the extra cost. I would definitely recommend this tour.Show more

Picture yourself experiencing the awe-inspiring roar of leopards and encountering majestic elephants, towering sloth bears, and graceful birds up close on a thrilling game drive. Additionally, you can engage with the friendly Sri Lankan people, gain insight into their customs, and appreciate their one-of-a-kind way of life.

  Sri Lanka has some wonderful scenery, especially in the hills around Kandy and Ella. the views are endless and unforgettable. Wildlife sightings are quite common; I was able to spot leopards, bears, elephants, and many birds. In Minneriya, there is a large elephant population, and I was lucky enough to see some baby tuskers up close. For the entire journey, I had a very comfortable car and a wonderful driver named Wasantha. He drove me safely throughout the tour and handled all the arrangements, coordinating with safari drivers and hotels to make sure I had the best possible experience in Sri Lanka. He was kind, respectful, and very hospitable. The overall quality of tourism accommodations and services is very high. I highly recommend booking with SkyHaven Tours. I traveled solo and would definitely recommend that as well.Show more

  We had an amazing experience with this small but incredibly professional company. From the very beginning, the service was outstanding. Lahiru assisted us during the booking process with great attention to detail, making everything smooth and stress-free. He also followed up with us regularly, ensuring we had all the information we needed before the trip. Once we arrived, Wasantha, our guide, gave us a clear and helpful briefing so we knew exactly what to expect. Wasantha was exceptional — knowledgeable, friendly, and always attentive to what we wanted to see and do. Thanks to him, every game drive was unforgettable. The selection of lodges and hotels was perfect, and the overall planning and support throughout the journey made our safari truly special. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a personalized and well-organized safari experience in Sri Lanka. A big thank you to the entire team for making this trip one we will never forget! 🐘🌅Show more

  Sri Lanka is an absolute dream come true! Everyone should try to go on a safari tour in Sri Lanka. it was a once-in-a-lifetime trip. I was so impressed with the variety of wildlife we were able to see in only three full days. It was clear we were not disturbing the animals, as they were simply going about their normal business. Going in the off-peak season meant there were fewer people in the park, but we still managed to see all the iconic animals and more. SkyHaven was very responsive, answered all our questions, and accommodated our requests, and the guide was excellent.Show more

  We chose to go on safari in Sri Lanka based on feedback from friends and family, including someone who had just visited Sri Lanka and done a safari. Their descriptions were so beautiful that we decided to look into it and it was truly magnificent. We were able to fly direct from Melbourne to Colombo via SriLankan Airlines and experience five national parks. The landscape at each one was unique and different. We saw an abundance of animals and birds. The people, the places we stayed, and everyone we interacted with were just wonderful. We’re telling everyone we know it’s a trip of a lifetime.Show more

  Our entire Sri Lanka trip was perfect from start to finish. Our safari guide, Kesara, was knowledgeable, considerate, and kind, and made our entire experience above and beyond comfortable. We visited four national parks (Yala, Wilpattu, Horton Plains, and Minneriya), with lots of road travel along the way. We saw hundreds of animals at every stop and got to experience so much of the Sri Lankan countryside. Kesara shared his knowledge of the parks, Sri Lankan culture, and wildlife, and went out of his way to make sure we saw the best that nature had to offer each day. We learned so much about the native species, birds, and animals because of his expertise. We left with full hearts and full bellies every single day. We are forever grateful we booked with SkyHaven Tours and were fortunate to have Kesara as our guide.Show more
