"Fabulous afternoon safari. Very knowledgeable guide who spotted game from the start to the finish. We saw many elephants, crocadiles, deer, wild boars, water buffaloe, mongooses, jackals and the crowning glory, a leapord ambling about. The park is also a wetland home to a diverse population of birds. Great driving skills kept us feeling safe all the time. Having visited Yala last year, I would say this tour and guide was considerably better."
"We had an amazing safari experience in Kumana on 28th June. Our driver Fin 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 Marafi 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 had a fantastic trip! Comfortable chairs and a beautiful view. We saw lots of animals!"
"We had a wonderful experience at the Budget Arugambay Yours. Our guide was careful to take us to the right spots to see the various animals; he clearly knows the park very well and is passionate about his work. We spotted buffalo, elephants, deer and chamois, crocodiles, a bear, mongooses, waterbucks, and the magnificent leopard! Our guide even took us to the spot where the leopard sometimes comes to drink after feeding. We were so lucky; it was magical! Thank you so much!"
"We had a great afternoon and evening tour with Marafi, our guide in the Kumana Park. We saw elephants, water buffalos, monkeys, crocodiles, different species of deer, eagles, monitors, a warthog, lot's of beautiful birds and a leopard drinking at a water pond. Marafi proved to be a fantastic guide with excellent knowledge of the animals and their habits. He led us in a careful, calm and respectful manner, enjoying nature together with us. And by discovering a leopard, tracing it by the warning sounds of some deer he confirmed his nick name as "leopard whisperer". Thank you very much for this impressive encounter with wild Sri Lanka! Matthias and family from Berlin, Germany"
"One of the best safari experiences I've ever had! The team at Budget Arugambay Tours was super friendly and professional. Our guide was very knowledgeable and helped us spot elephants, peacocks, crocodiles, and even rare birds I had never seen before."
