One leopard actually passed right by us, which was absolutely unforgettable. He also stopped so we could fully enjoy seeing the elephants and carefully pointed out every animal along the way. He has great energy, is fun, chill, and clearly loves what he does. At the end of the day, he even helped me catch my bus from Tissa and made sure I got on safely, which was very kind and thoughtful. The safari was fantastic, and Yasanaka made the experience even better. Highly recommend it!!”
