"Day trip with Ishara"

"We had such a great day with Ishara, he picked us up super early from Weligama, organised a great day at Yala national park safari for us, told us all about the area and took us to some lovely local spots to see different animals! Then he took us to his family home where his Mother made us fresh hoppers... The car was comfortable, had WiFi and Ishara was friendly and helpful."
