About this experience

Step off the ship and straight into the wild. Lakpura collects you from Hambantota Seaport and drives you to Yala National Park — Sri Lanka's most celebrated wildlife reserve and home to one of the world's highest concentrations of leopards. Your English-speaking driver doubles as your tracker, reading the landscape across forests, open grasslands, and lagoons as you scan for leopards, elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles, and more than 200 bird species. A chilled water bottle is waiting in the jeep.

The entire outing runs 4 hours 30 minutes and is fully private, so the pace and focus are yours to set. The 3-hour game drive is the centrepiece; park entrance tickets are included when you select the "with Tickets" option at booking. Port pick-up and drop-off are covered, and the minimum age is 5. Food, personal expenses, and gratuities are not included.
