Activity itinerary

Yala National Park

  • 5h
Experience Yala National Park on a private afternoon and evening wildlife safari. Depart at approximately 2:00 PM and spend 4–5 hours exploring the park’s forests, grasslands, lagoons and wildlife habitats in your own 4x4 Jeep. Your experienced local driver-guide draws on more than 40 years of Yala knowledge to help you make the most of your safari. Look out for Sri Lankan leopards, elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles, deer, wild buffalo and a wide variety of birds. Wildlife sightings cannot be guaranteed, as animals move freely throughout the park. Your Jeep is reserved exclusively for your group of 2–6 guests, offering a relaxed and personal alternative to a shared safari. Fresh fruits and fruit juice are provided. Travel by standard Toyota Hilux or upgrade to a Toyota Land Cruiser for additional comfort and space. Yala National Park entrance fees are paid separately at the official park rate.
