Yala National Park Tours & Trips
Yala National Park in Sri Lanka is home to countless leopards, and they’re definitely the main draw! A safari here will show you majestic elephants, sloth bears, crocs, and birds beyond the leopards themselves. Safari here differs from Africa, with denser jungle, smaller parks, and fewer vehicles competing. Mix your safari with Sri Lanka’s beach and cultural triangle for an amazing time.

The tour ran smoothly from start to finish. Hotels were standard. Sightseeing was well organized. The guide was helpful. Yala safari and Bentota beach were highlights.

We very much enjoyed our 10 day trip of Sri Lanka. We had booked a tour, but similar to others it was just us and a driver (no guide) Sassi, our driver was very friendly and helpful, and although not a guide, was reasonably knowledgeable at most of the sights. The hotels were not a good as we had expected, with 2 definitely falling into the 2 star category. Old and run down and not properly cleaned.
