点评:We spent 5 days with Ruwan and his driver doing different tours (Yala, Bundala, the lakes). We are nature photographers and birdwatchers so we did private tours to get a tailored experience for our interests. It was the experience of a lifetime!
We saw 4 leopards (one just 15 meters away on the road!), elephants with little ones, mongoose (including the rare striped-necked mongoose), a mousedeer, Sri Lankan Jackal, crocodiles, monkeys, deer and many many birds (fishing owl, owlet, Indian Pitta, blue faced malkoha, Indian Roller, etc). And on top of all that we saw 4(!) fishing cats - one was less than 8m away!
Ruwan is extremely knowledgeable and very respectful towards nature. He has a great eye to spot animals but on top also can read their behavior very well and often predicts their next move (like giving an elephant space with the jeep to step out on the road from the vegetation). And he is such a great guy to be around as well.
We had a fantastic time and got so much more as we ever hoped for - thank you for this incredible experience! It was a joy and pleasure to spend these 5 days together and we will never forget it. And we are definitely planning on coming back!
This was the perfect choice for Yala and surroundings - highly recommended!
翻译:我们和鲁万以及他的司机一起度过了五天,参加了不同的游览项目(亚拉国家公园、邦达拉国家公园、湖泊)。我们是自然摄影师和观鸟爱好者,所以选择了私人定制行程,以获得更符合我们兴趣的体验。这真是一次毕生难忘的经历!
我们看到了四只豹子(其中一只就在离我们15米远的路上!)、带着幼崽的大象、獴(包括罕见的条纹颈獴)、鼷鹿、斯里兰卡豺、鳄鱼、猴子、鹿以及数不胜数的鸟类(渔鸮、小鸮、印度八色鸫、蓝脸地鹃、印度蓝喉蜂虎等等)。更令人惊喜的是,我们还看到了四只渔猫——其中一只离我们不到8米!
鲁万知识渊博,而且非常尊重自然。他眼光独到,不仅能发现动物,还能精准地解读它们的行为,常常能预测它们的下一步行动(比如,他会给大象留出足够的空间,让它从植被中走到路上)。而且,和他在一起感觉特别棒。
我们度过了一段美好的时光,收获远超预期——感谢你们带来如此难忘的体验!这五天的时光无比快乐,我们将永远铭记于心。我们一定会再次光临!
这里是游览亚拉国家公园及其周边地区的完美之选——强烈推荐!
