Exceptional Service and Memorable Experience Exceptional service, the team at Budget Arugam Bay Tours provided us with amazing service either through arranging the most authentic Half Day Safari - such an incredible day, truly memorable the wildlife, wetlands, beaches and bush tracks can't be missed. The team also, arranged transport (taxi) to the other side of the Island for us for a fair price. Big shout out to Fainas who kept us in the loop through his communication and ability to go and above to ensure we had the best experience and he is a pretty handy surfer if you are looking for some tips.

Srí Lanka travel We have traveled extensively from Matara to Sigiriya, making several stops along the way. Despite the challenges of navigating the roads, our driver, Gayan, has skillfully guided us through the journey, allowing us to witness numerous stunning locations in a relatively short period of time.Big Thank for Ansa & Fainas

Valuable money and Helping Staff with Half day kumama Safari Unforgettable kumana National Park memories and Quite a good experience, considering this is a park and one needs to realize that it is only luck to view animals! This is not a zoo - so to all those reviewing stating they did not see any animals..this is the point of a park! Animals are not there for your entertainment. We were lucky enough to see quite a few as we had a very good guide faina!!!!I highly recommend this tours and team members!

Full day safari with wildlife 🌳🌳 We had an awesome day with our driver isha and Faina He explained a lot of things to us, about Sri Lanka, the kumana National Park and the different animals. He was the perfect tour guide!He gave his absolutely best to make us see every animal we would like to see - we saw a leopard three times, and a lot of elephants, peacocks, pigs, birds and crocodiles. For sure you also need a little bit of luck, as animals behavior is not foreseeable - so you have no guarantee to catch them :Breakfast and lunch was very tasty.Actually the whole day safari tour is very long and a little bit exhausting because you're sitting a whole day in a Jeep, nevertheless the more time you spent in the park, the more likely you see the animals.After all Faina even helped us to pick up our luggage at the hotel and brought us to the bus station!

Wonderful experience! Our 1/2 day safari into Kumana National Park was wonderful! From the moment we communicated with Ansa we knew we made the right choice! He was responsive and very patient with answering our questions. Our guide for our morning safari was amazing and did not rush at all. He allowed us the time we wanted for photos and although we did not see a leopard our guide tried and tried to help find one :). We saw elephants, fox, wild boar, monkeys, water buffalo, and endless amounts of beautiful birds! Thank you for an amazing tour! We would HIGHLY recommend Budget Arugambay Tours!

Two days Camping with Ansa Undoubtedly, One of my best experiences in Sri Lanka. This is located in the middle of the jungle right at the borders of the kumana. I will start with people. Ansa and the co were really friendly and made our stay at kumana Safari Camping a memorable experience. Faina, the owner even checked with us about our stay. Tents were spacious and they were luxurious. The package included the safari as well as we went during the second half of the day, which we enjoyed heavily. The food was mesmerising, lunch, dinner and breakfast amazed us. Dinner under the stars is the most precious moment we had in the entire stay. Luckily the weather gods were on our side and dinner with a view of the starry sky is a wordless experience. Since you are in the middle of the jungle, you will not have any light source disturbing your view. The sunrise from the park view is a must-do because you get a rare opportunity to see how the jungle embraces sunrise layer by layer. All in all one of the most loving experiences we had and never hesitate to come back again.Thanks to ansa ♥️👍🤝
