On 6th January 2022 we booked Daya Safari Jeep Service considering the reviews in TripAdvisor. Safari jeep came right on time to the hotel In order to pick us and... read more headed towards the national park. Driver was very calm and pay more attention while driving in the early morning as there were heard of cattle and other animals in the paved road. Game driver has more knowledge on the animal behavior and give more space to animal without disturbing. On this particular day we saw 3 leopards (one female and 2 cubs) and it was an unforgettable experience for my two little boys. We saw giant elephant and heard of Samba deer resting near water hole. Overall, it was great experience and I will recommend Daya Safari for your Safari tours in Yala National Park Sri Lanka.

  Days Safari is my go to! I don’t think I will use any other service other than Daya!! The drivers are incredibly knowledgeable, insanely skillful yet very friendly and professional,... read more especially Sam. What a guy and what an experience. My friend mentioned that he had never seen a leopard at Yala and Sam promised that he will get us a sighting that day. And without fail he delivered!! I recommend anyone traveling for a safari to use Daya Safari Jeep Service and you’ll honesty will never be disappointed. I don’t see myself going with anyone else from now on. Thank you Sam and Daya Safari for always delivering an unforgettable experience!

  We booked 3 trips with Daya safari - Udawalawe (morning),Yala (whole day) and Bundala (morning). The experience was very enjoyable in every drive. Kavindu was our driver for all 3... read more trips. We felt very safe with his driving and he has keen eyes in wildlife spotting. If we needed to make a stop for photos, Kavindu was more than happy to do so. He also provided fruits and soft drinks in mid morning as well as lunch in Yala. During safaris, we had seen 5 leopards including 2 cubs, 5 different types of eagles and close encounter with many elephants, one male with long tasks, plus large varieties of wetland birds and many wildlife. This has exceeded our expectation. For morning safari drives, do bring extra clothing as weather was quite cool before sunrise. With the stunning scenery in the National Parks, there were plenty of photo opportunities. Overall, we highly recommend Daya Safari and a big thank you to Kavindu!

  We did four safaris in total (two at Yala, two at Bundala) with Nissanka as our guide. He was very professional and knowledgeable, and unlike many other safari drivers didn't... read more drive too fast or irresponsibly in order to reach sites quickly (which is particularly a problem in Yala). As bird watchers, we were especially interested in stopping often in Bundala to view and photograph the myriad of local and wintering species. Nissanka was very patient and obliging with this. We even found a very rare vagrant Whinchat (Saxicola rubetra) which seems to be only the second record of this species in the whole of Sri Lanka. In Yala, we had a great leopard sighting despite the rainy weather. All in all, a great experience and I would totally recommend Nissanka as a guide and Daya Safari in general!

They are the best... read more in town at what they are doing and it is very difficult to put in to words to explain how good they are. They always give their 200% to satisfy their customer and they will always make sure your each trip to Yala to be memorable. Below I have attached few of the amazing captures we had during the November trip to Yala with Daya Safari team and you would see why I am praising these guys this much. It is not just about spotting the animals (especially Leopards) but also following the leopard on its trails left behind. I would say they are the best leopard trailers in Yala. Also as you can see, if you are a photographer they will always make sure to give you the best shot with the best angles. Believe me, this is not the easiest thing to do when having few photographers in the safari jeep and the animals moving here and there, but they can. So, if you are ever planning to visit Yala or if you are a leopard lover, I seriously recommend to get the service of these guys, they will never ever disappoint you.
