The park offers everything that is needed for an exciting safari. Great landscapes, many animals, especially elephants! We were very close to the elephants and were very lucky to be able to watch a whole herd and also some baby elephants. Furthermore, I would like to emphasize our tour guide - not only did he inspire and excite us with his very good mood, he also saw many small animals with his trained eye and answered our questions thoroughly. The 3 hours passed by in no time and gave us many nice memories. Would totally recommend booking a trip with these guys :-)

Ashiq Aswar is a superb tour guide! Him and Rizni took my family around on a tour of Colombo that included shopping and then a tour of the outskirts of a bee farm, spice gardens a private tour visiting and riding elephants. We had a great lunch in a clean and air-conditioned restaurant. The van was clean and comfortable. They picked us up and dropped us back. This trip was actually in the early part of last year in spring, but the calendar on Trip Advisor only goes back to summer of last year. They were very attentive, very caring and personable. I would highly recommend Ashiq and Kingfisher tours to anyone visiting Colombo, Sri Lanka ????????

Our holiday rep booked a safari day for us before we left England. It was an absolutely fantastic day out we hadn’t realised it was a private tour just for us so that was a bonus. Sam the manager rang us the evening before we went to confirm times and drivers name. We had Dinesh who was amazing he picked us up at 5 am and we got back after 6 pm. He pointed out lots of interesting facts on our journey too. We decided we would go to Galle the following week so messaged Sam to see if we could book same driver and not do everything that was on the list and it was no problem. We did Galle fort then silk factory and tsunami museum which was all very interesting. We stopped to have some lunch on the way back to hotel. Would highly recommend this company. If we come back to Sri Lanka again will certainly be using them. Thank you very much Sam and Dinesh Sarah and Chris.

Quite adventurous tour, spiced up by heavy rain at times. Very good job by the tour guide, experienced and keeps the right pace. The tour is demanding but it is well worth while. Well off the beaten track. It is very hard to summarize the beauty of the whole journey...luxuriously green paddy fields, quaint villages, Buddhist monasteries, tropical plantations all over the steep hills, plenty of wild life, such as deer and colorful exotic birds, as one moves up...then comes the pristine rain forest of Knuckles, crisscrossed by water falls. This journey is not for the heart fainted though. Unlike other touristy sites i did not come across hoards of tourists...maybe a handful of hikers ...which was awesome.

We had booked a car with chauffeur for 7 days with pickup & drop off at Colombo airport. The driver Nishan, was courteous & very friendly. We visited Colombo, Hatton, Kandy, Dambulla, Sigiriya & Negeombo. Considering we did not visit a lot of the usual popular tourist places like Ella, it was a bit tough finding our way around but overall it was a great experience. Mr Sankalpa was very helpful in planning our trip before we left from NewYork & worked with us to get the itinerary we wanted. Highly recommend Red Apple Colombo. Thank you
