NirinJan was an amazing guide and made our tour an unforgettable experience. As a mum travelling with two children I felt very safe with NirinJan at all times. We saw so many wonderful animals on the tour and my boys got to hold a baby crocodile. I would highly recommend NirinJan, he’s a very good guide and kind man.
We went on a river safari tour with Niranjan yesterday. It was the highlight of our stay in Sri Lanka. We took a Tuk Tuk from our hotel and met Niranjan at the location he gave us. Did all correspondence through WhatsApp. What an amazing tour and what a genuinely nice gentleman. There were only the two of us on his boat and we saw chameleons, crocodiles, fruit bat and monkeys. The highlights were the mangrove tunnel (where he stopped the boat and took photos of us) and feeding the wild monkeys who came down from the trees to take our bananas. The boat safari was very relaxing and we felt very safe and well looked after. Incredible scenery and I 100% recommend this trip and our driver. He has his own boat and makes all the arrangements himself. Niranjan even stopped and got us coconuts when I said how much I liked them! THANK YOU! We will return!
Had an amazing experience with our captain, Niranjan. Extremely knowledgeable, found a python, chameleon, green snake, monitor lizards, bats and crocodiles!!
Our boat tour guide Niranjan gave us an amazing tour of the mangrove. Such a nice calm and pleasant person to guide us through the mangrove. He is English is fantastic, and he is very good at spotting animals. Crocodiles hidden in the water, and even a small green cameleon between the green leaves. Unbelievable! He wasn’t in a rush and even gave us a longer tour than required. Thank you so much!
I highly recommend Mr. Niranjan and crew for the mangrove safari. We went as a big group and he arranged 3 boats for us with incredible riders. They were exceptionally calm and great at spotting animals. We even extended our safari from one hour to two hours.
