    Sally

    Asked on September 21st, 2025

    How much walking is involved? My mom cannot do strenuous activities. I am really interested in the Yala national park, in particular the opportunity of seeing leopards. It feels a lot of activities are packed in the last day, are they all feasible while still enjoying the safari? Will all the activities be carried out as outlined in the itinerary? Or do you expect any change? Would it be possible eventually to add one last night on last day of the tour so we can leave the day after without stress?

    • Apple Vacations Pvt LtdOperatorWritten September 2025

      Everyday small walking is involved, but adventure activities can skip, all sights not must visited places, your mom can choose no issue at all. As per the tour plan on last day, you have chance to visit Yala park for half day only - around 03 hours inside the park. All the activities will be followed as per itinerary, but if it feel like adventure can skip no issue at all. Yes sure no issue at all, can add and customize as well, will be additionally charged.
