Driver didn’t say a word nor explain what was happening (even after the police pulled him over!!) He swerved between lanes for no reason. Aquaplaned at one point and have us whiplash when he slammed on the brakes for a speed bump…and never said sorry!! Horrendous driving. Didn’t feel safe. Yala keep driver rushed around, overtook every vehicle and was clearly in a rush to cover the park and get rid of us. No water was offered either. Wouldn’t recommendTereza_S

We were picked up from our hotel approximately 4 30 am,then taken to yala for our safari. There we met up with our designated driver,who drove us to the entrance of the park,to begin our tour.we then sat with our guide for the day on a vehicle akin to what they used filming jurassic park!we then encountered numerous animals and birds along the way,from crocodiles and monitor lizards, to jackals ,deer and wild boar.we had resigned ourselves to not seeing an elephant, then lo and behold,a large male appeared between the foliage at the side of the road, and put the finishing touch to a fabulous day..many thanks to our eagle-eyed guide,who's spotting capabilities were second to none, our driver who had to negotiate some really difficult terrain, and our driver who took us back to hikkaduwa through some quite atrocious weather conditions.
