点评:We looked for a safari that would interact with wildlife in an ethical way, where we wouldn't be racing around or getting stuck in large groups of jeeps, and where we would learn something.
After talking to Prasanna, we decided to do a half day safari in Udawalawe with Uncle Ajith driving and Prasanna guiding. And we had a great time!
We had the opportunity to see elephants, jackals, monkeys, crocodiles, deer, terrapin, water buffalo and a wide array of birds. Prasanna speaks great English, explained everything for us and was happy to answer our weird questions. I appreciated his passion for birdwatching (and he was trying to catch some shots of hard-to-find birds with his massive telephoto lens). He also had two good pairs of binoculars which were very useful.
We were kept well-fed thanks to the excellent packed lunch and snacks made by Prasanna's mum. I think we saw a few other tourists looking a bit jealous as they walked past our picnic table.
He also organised our taxi transfer up from the south coast to Udawalawa and his chosen driver was friendly and safe.
All-in-all we had a great time and I felt the price was fair, with no surprises. Would recommend to everyone!
翻译:我们想找一个能以符合伦理的方式与野生动物互动的旅行,既不会像其他旅行那样匆匆忙忙、挤在一大群吉普车里,又能学到东西。
和普拉桑纳聊过之后,我们决定参加乌达瓦拉维半日游,由阿吉特叔叔开车,普拉桑纳做向导。我们玩得非常开心!
我们有机会看到了大象、豺狼、猴子、鳄鱼、鹿、龟、水牛和各种各样的鸟类。普拉桑纳的英语说得很好,他耐心地为我们讲解,也乐于回答我们提出的各种奇奇怪怪的问题。我很欣赏他对观鸟的热情(他正用他那支巨大的长焦镜头努力拍摄一些难得一见的鸟类)。他还带了两副非常好的双筒望远镜,非常实用。
普拉桑纳的妈妈为我们准备了丰盛的午餐和零食,让我们吃得饱饱的。我觉得我们看到其他一些游客路过我们的野餐桌时,脸上带着一丝羡慕的神情。
他还帮我们从南海岸安排了出租车到乌达瓦拉瓦,他选择的司机既友好又安全。
总而言之,我们玩得很开心,我觉得价格也很合理,没有任何意外支出。强烈推荐给大家!
