Yala National Park Safari from Hikkaduwa

Board your air-conditioned vehicle in Hikkaduwa as your English-speaking chauffeur guide heads southeast towards Yala National Park. The drive takes you across Sri Lanka's southern landscapes before you swap to a soft-top jeep at the park boundary. Roof open, you scan the scrub and reservoirs for leopards, elephants, sloth bears, and crocodiles — Yala holds one of the world's densest wild leopard populations. A litre of bottled mineral water per person keeps you refreshed throughout the half-day jeep safari. The full excursion runs 11 hours, covers hotel pick-up and drop-off, and is operated as a private tour for your group.

Entrance fees to Yala National Park, food, drinks beyond the included water, and gratuities are not covered, so carry some rupees for the gate. Minimum age for this safari is five years. Lakpura organises all logistics so you step off the jeep and straight back into your hotel.
