Geweldige privé safari in Kumana National Park Geweldige ervaring! We hebben een halve dag privé safari gedaan en het was echt fantastisch. Als hoogtepunt hebben we een luipaard gezien. Super cool en bijzonder om van zo dichtbij mee te maken. Onze twee safari gidsen waren ook leuk, enthousiast en wisten veel te vertellen. Absoluut een aanrader!

Spektakuläre Tour! Unbedingt empfehlenswert! Hatten gar nicht mehr damit gerechnet, einen Leoparden zu sehen. Unser Fahrer hatte aber das richtige Gespür: Im Dickicht lag einer und er riet uns, an Ort und Stelle noch etwas zu warten. Tatsächlich kam der Leopard wenig später zur Wasserstelle. Haben ihn dann fast zwei Stunden lang aus unmittelbarer Nähe beobachten können! 5 Sterne!!

I saw a good experience by capturing even the slightest animal voices and footprints Compared to my safari experiences in Yala and Kumana, the Kumana experience was very memorable. I saw a Sri Lankan leopard up close. Asanka, the assistant, was eager to give us a good experience by capturing even the slightest animal voices and footprints on the way. I saw a good understanding of animals in him. I am looking forward to another safari with Asanka. Thanks to owner Priyantha and assistant Asanka for a wonderful memory! See you soon, guys!

We had an amazing safari experience in Kumana on 28th June. Our driver asanka was incredibly friendly, had very sharp eyes, and was extremely knowledgeable about the wildlife. Thanks to his expertise, we were able to enjoy some fantastic sightings, including leopards and a wide variety of birds that we might have otherwise missed. The safari jeep owner priyantha also provided superb service from start to finish and was very friendly and welcoming. Their professionalism and hospitality made the entire experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a memorable safari in Kumana!

We did a full day safari in Kumana with Kumana Wild Expeditions. It was one of the best days that we had in Kumana with two leopard sightings and many more. Asanka's driving, tracking skills are excellent and the condition of the jeep also super. Highly recommend Kumana Wild Expeditions. Thank you so much for the great experience.

I was a bit worried about some of the reviews until I realized that they were clearly from competitors mass one starring all other businesses. We had a good time, car was comfortable enough (just wish there were some fans for when it gets hot) and the guides knew what they were doing, nothing to fault. We saw a leopard but it's very luck-based.

We had the most fabulous safari in Kumana, with SPS Nature Tours. Priyantha and everyone who drives his jeeps are extremely knowledgeable, drive very slowly and responsibly, and are so accomodating, making your safari experience utterly enjoyable. Thank you so much to Asanka who drove us, and showed me 3 adult male leopards together!!!, which I have never seen, after being on over a couple of hundred safaris in my lifetime. I would fully recommend using this company. With best wishes, Dinushka

We did a Safari with Priyantha this morning! We saw a Leopard & Bear which is apparently super rare, so we’re feeling extra lucky and grateful to Priyantha who made it possible for us to see so much wildlife in one day. He seemed to be really friendly with all the other tour guides, and they were all helping each other to give us the best experience. Especially loved how both our guides still get so excited about spotting, watching and capturing images of the animals even though they see it everyday! Sitting on the back of the Safari Truck 4WD was really fun, definitely recommend doing the early morning because the temperature is super comfortable outside, it only really heated up on the drive back. If you have a fancy camera & zoom lense this is your time to shine!! Can’t wait to load this sd card to the computer!! Definitely recommend booking with these guys!!
