About this experience

Board your private, air-conditioned vehicle in Dikwella for the drive to Yala National Park — Sri Lanka's premier wildlife reserve on the island's southeast coast. Your English-speaking chauffeur guide handles every detail, so you arrive ready to explore. At the park, swap to a soft-top jeep and head out on a half-day safari with the roof open, scanning the scrub and reservoirs for leopards, elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles, and hundreds of bird species. A litre of chilled bottled water per person keeps you refreshed on the trail.

Choose the time that suits you — morning light or the golden hour of dusk — and spend up to eight hours door to door, including hotel pick-up and drop-off. The tour is private, so the pace is yours. All taxes and service charges are covered; note that park entrance tickets, meals, and gratuities are paid separately on the day.
