We got in touch with Dylan to organise a half day safari with a transfer from Ella to Mirissa. We contacted him two months in advance and he organised everything perfectly. He was so quick to respond and everything ran on time and as described.
We originally booked a morning safari but he suggested a change to an afternoon safari as there was a better chance of seeing more animals. Thanks to this suggestion, we managed to see a leopard and elephant along with many other animals.
Dylan provided lunch for us and also brought some lovely fruit and Sri Lankan snacks for us to try. He was a wonderful guide and so fun to chat to and the convenience of having such a dedication guide was unmatched. Would highly recommend Dylan for a guide for Yala, it was such a great day!

5/5 experience.
We had the most amazing day with Dylan at Yala National Park.
I booked the day before with Dylan (lucky he had the space for us) for my partner’s Birthday .
Dylan delivered above and beyond for an amazing day!

We contacted Dylan because of the Yala Safari. The safari was great, we’ve seen a lot of wild animals like elephants, crocodiles, monkeys and a wild boar family. To our luck we were even able to see a leopard sleeping. Dylan and his driver made sure we got a really good look at it! On top of that we got a real off-road adventure over the bumpy paths in search for another leopard. After the safari he dropped us of in another city from which we could reach our next destination Pasikuda. He was extremely helpful as he told us where to change busses and even took the first bus with us. All in all we totally recommend the safari to Yala and Dylan as a guide, thank you so much!

4rest Lanka Tours: Trip of a Lifetime!
Dylan at 4rest Lanka Tours was amazing. By the end of the tour, you feel like one of his family! He is not a specialist in any one area but a wealth of information on Sri Lanka as a whole. He built a custom trip for me from Ella to Mirassa including a half day Yala safari in the afternoon. Safe driver and included unexpected trips to 1 waterfalls andthe SW beach within Yala at a good price.
From my experience on the safari, you are guaranteed to see something which, in its natural habitat doing its own thing, can’t be underestimated. I was lucky enough to see the leopard, bear, elephants, mongoose, fox, monkey, eagle, buffalo, the list goes on.
Out of Dylan’s control but be prepared to be breathing in fumes and dust; arguably worth it however!

Ella to Hiriketiya Beach with a Yala morning safari.
Lovely easy experience with Dylan, pick up super early on time in Ella and we could get some sleep until our safari tour. Dylan was very informative about the animals we saw and provided a good breakfast. Also the driver in the national park he knew was great in trying to find animals we wanted to see. Then we had an easy drive to our drop off to Hiriketiya Beach. Great trip

“I can’t recommend this company enough!”
We started the tour from Ella. Our driver arrived ahead of time and was waiting for us. Dylan joined us on the way on our journey. Communication throughout was amazing with his. He was so friendly and he really made our Safari experience so much better than we could have hoped. He was so passionate and knowledgeable about the national park and the animals and also Sri lankan politics. We weren’t expecting to learn so much, but we feel so lucky that Dylan was able to share so much information with us.
We saw a leopard, elephants, a sloth bear, crocodiles and many different species of birds. Everything we were hoping to see and more!
The breakfast that was provided was super tasty.
I wouldn’t hesitate to book with this company again, and I will recommend them to anyone I know who is looking to book a safari in Yala national park.

“An amazing ride with Dylan”
I asked for a gentle guide who would stop frequently for photographing birds and understand the behavior of the animals and Dylan and Safari Driver was terrific. He had a heightened sense of hearing and seeing even small creatures. We saw crocodiles, elephants, deer, antelopes, and water buffalos. When Dylan got word of a sighting he quietly and skillfully managed to position our jeep for ideal viewing. Definitely, Dylan and 4restlankatours, are the best person and company to go on an incredible safari in Yala.

“We had a wonderful day”
We did the Safari Tour (Yala National Park) with Dilan and it was great! The pick-up in the early morning at the hotel in Ella was perfectly on time and they even drove us to Mirissa after the tour. We saw so many different animals like elephants, buffalos, deer, eagles and also the rare leopard! Dilan told us so many interesting things about Sri Lankan wildlife, we enjoyed it a lot and had a really good time. We can highly recommend the tour and Dilan as a guide, he was very kind and friendly and even made us delicious breakfast sandwiches! Thank you for the great day, we would definitely do it anytime again!

Dylan is a friendly person. We trusted his experience and booked a morning safari tour. we started the tour early morning from Mirissa.
we reached Yala at 6.30 am. He showed us also sloth bears which are hard to find as well. We saw also many other animals: spotted deer, samba deer, elephant, mongoose, several different birds, buffalo, wild pig, and monkey. The provided breakfast was very tasty.
Yala national park is beautiful. Some roads are in a bad condition but Dylan managed his driver safely and comfortably for the passengers.

“Absolutely amazing”
Had a lovely experience with Dilan, we did a package pick up tour and everything went really smoothly. Nice car, air con we did the yala safari and he gave us good information on the types of animals and was pointing them out as we went. Dilan also gave us a lovely breakfast and then after took us out for lunch which was very kind then continued to drive to mirrisa . I recommend anyone wanting to have a yala tour guide, very friendly and helpful

“Excellent Yala Safari!!”
Dilan helped us with a transfer from Ella to Mirrisa, with a stop of for a safari at Yala on the way which was ideal for us.
He was so friendly and helpful and full of information about Sri Lanka and the animals. He also kindly provided us with breakfast and lunch.
We had a great time and plenty of laughs along the way.

‘More than a guide’
We contacted Dilan as we needed to have a transfer from Ella to Mirissa but with a stop in Yala for a morning Safari. Dilan replied quickly and arranged everything for us.
He sent a VERY comfortable van that picked us exactly at the time agreed on (4 am). The driver was very polite and got us quickly to the entry point, picking up Dilan on the way. There we switched to a jeep, all for ourselves, to proceed into the park. We then spent a few hours trying every road to find as many animals we could. Dilan and the driver pointed out to us most of the animals as we couldn’t see them initially, while providing us with clear explanations once we got to take our pictures. We saw many crocodiles, unique birds, two group of deers, a tons of buffalos, varans, two lone elephants and then three together with the cutest baby elephant. And then lo and behold, there was a sighting of the infamous leopard ! Dilan and the driver did their best to get us a spot so we could admire the majestic creature ! Definitely the highlight of our trip. Dilan made sure to bring plenty of tasty home-mande sandwiches for breakfast as we had to leave early.
We then got back to our van which took us to the front door of our guest house in Mirissa.A perfect experience without any hiccup. Thanks!

‘Incredible day in Yala National Park’
We were lucky to join Dilan on a guided tour through Yala National Park. At first we thought there was way too many cars surrounding the first few animals. But then we went further into the park and away from all the other cars where we saw for example leopards, elephants and then we were very lucky to see a sloth bear.
We can highly recommend Dilan as a guide, extremely kind and caretaking, and also the chauffeur for taking us on a real safari and not just chasing around what some other cars maybe saw.
We had a really good day seeing the beautiful park and its inhabitants.🐆🐃🐘🐊

“Trip to Ella and Yala Reserve”
We visited the beautiful mountain town of Ella, surrounded by tea plantations. We had an amazing sunrise from Ella Rock. We walked on the unique Nine Arches Bridge and spent the rest of the day watching Yala Reserve. We had a very nice and smiling guide Dilanam who was willing to give us all day and see to it. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
