Highly recommended - Highly recommended full day safari. Our guide Sandu was very skilful in spotting wildlife and a very safe driver. We saw 6 leopards in total, including a mating pair, which we believe is very rare to see. We also saw lots of elephants, including babies, wildebeest, mongoose, deer, crocodiles and a wide variety of birds including the Black Neck Storked. Huge morning tea of fresh fruit and delicious picnic lunch.

The best holiday experience - Although it’s a long day we had an amazing time! Our driver Ravi and guide Malinda were incredible at showing us around as well as dealing with an approaching elephant. We were able to see two leopards in different locations which made the long day worth it. Food was provided for us and being able to eat lunch in those surroundings was an amazing experience.

Best experience in Kumuna - A once in a lifetime experience with a highly professional team offering the best experience in Kumuna! So many animals and birds, what made our trip was a great jeep, and our knowledgeable tour guide Ravi! He had an eye for wildlife and had so much knowledge to share. We saw alligators within 5min of leaving the hotel! Crazy how much there is to see! The booking online payment was convenient. A great memorable experience!

Super nice - We did the full day safari yesterday and it was realy Nice! Its pretty long but you see a lot of different kind of animals, you get to picknick for breakfast at the sea, lunch at a little river and mini waterfall, you could swim, the food is really good, drinks and snacks all day long… we really want to see the leopard but it’s nature so you never now… and the guide kept on looking on different places and finally found one :-). Put the motor off the car out and just relaxing and watch that beautiful animal doing his thing. The guide was also super friendly! English was not perfect but he tried so hard to show us everything he knew and to explain the best he could! Thanks a lot for this experience. Angie and Dimi!

First time safari experience - Our guide and driver were really informative and tried very hard to find all kinds of wildlife for us! We were lucky and saw a leopard right at the end of the day as well as elephants, crocodiles, buffalo, boar, deer and lots of rare birds. We also enjoyed visiting the jungle temple. The food was also excellent and we enjoyed our rice and curry under the shade of big trees next to the river. The wildlife is most active at the very start or very end of the day and the middle of the day is very hot with not too much to see so we would suggest half day is better.
