Really comfortable private car with very experienced guide. Perfect for us as a family with small child, as we were flexible on when we wanted to leave the park.

The experience was truly amazing. We were lucky enough to see a leopard and many other animals. All of this was thanks to our guide, Udara Madhushanka, who did everything possible to make it happen. He picked us up on time and kept explaining the different things we came across throughout the safari. Absolutely recommendable without a doubt!
Unique experience!

Fantastic experience with our guide ankila. He picked us up right on time and it was seamless getting into the park. He did a great job navigating the rough trails as gently as possible for my young family and mother in law which was greatly appreciated. More importantly we spotted some great wildlife including elephants, crocodiles, a leopard and a bird that was more rare than a leopard. The company was very accommodating when we changed days for our second safari to give us time to relax and recoup between. Thanks again for a very wonderful experience!
Best service and high probability of spotting Leopards due to Drivers tracking skills

The service from Daya Safari was excellent. His tracking skills are far beyond from any other driver. The driver knew exactly where to place the vehicle so that we were in the best angle to spot the leopard. unlike others he tracks using animal calls and always knows if something is happening in the jungle. Very knowledgeable about all the species and trees of the jungle as well. Really amazing skills always will try to book through Data safari for the best Yaa experience
Great spotting!

We did two half day safaris - on the first afternoon we saw elephants, buffalo, deer, monitor lizards and various birds and on the following morning we saw a leopard up close and personal! Our driver Sachika was very professional. Highly recommend.
