Best Jungle Escape

We had an amazing stay at Ceylon Wild Safari (CWS) along with an unforgettable Yala safari experience. Our safari guide, Mr. Indika, was not only highly experienced but also an excellent wildlife photographer. Thanks to his sharp eye and knowledge, we were lucky enough to spot a leopard at the very last moment of our safari it was truly the highlight of our trip! All the staff at CWS were extremely friendly, welcoming, and they made our stay incredibly comfortable. From start to finish, everything was well organized, and the atmosphere felt like home. We can’t wait to return for another adventure! Highly recommended for anyone who loves nature, wildlife, and exceptional hospitality.
