If I could have given more stars I would!
Starting from our communication with Arshad, which was always immediate and efficient, to the transport arranged by LT from Colombo to LT (thank-you, Wanni, excellent driver), to the welcome at LT (cold towels, homemade drinks, big smiles and lots of information)...
Our guide was Amidu who was superb, amazing! Always happy & smiling, a very experienced zoologist who was so knowledgeable, recognising animal warning calls (Leopard nearby etc) Taking the time to name all animals, explain their calls, habits. We saw Leopards, sloth bear, crocodiles, water buffalo, wild boar, spotted deer, elephants, turtles, different monkeys, peacocks and many, many other birds in Yala Blocks I & V.
The entire staff was amazing: Amidu, Tori, Charith, the kitchen staff, who prepared the most amazing SL food. The open-air bar & dinner table was set up in a different place every night, with lanterns & comfortable chairs, allowing time for chatting before a sumptuous candlelight dinner. Nothing was too much trouble; I don't eat meat nor shellfish, no problem.
Very well worth it as everything is included, right down to snacks & drinks on safaris, safaris themselves, all meals, drinks...
Already planning a return trip!
Tips:
Take a great zoom lens (400 and up) or reserve one with LT well in advance
Binoculars are a plus
Stay two nights to get in four drives, more than worth it
