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 was amazing. Especially our driver Menuka was an excellent guide and deseves an extra star. He was very flexible and adapted our plan regarding our wishes. The only critic is that it says vegan but there was only cow milk at breakfast. Manuka was very helpful in restaurants to help vegan food. The hotels were well chosen and the staff was aleays friendly. At the safari we saw many animals. Thank you for the wonderful vacation.
6 days tour in Sri Lanka - Upgrade to Private Tour availableWhat a beautiful way to start married life together! The tour combines some of Sri Lanka’s most attractive experiences without making the honeymoon feel too busy. Sigiriya and Kandy provided memorable cultural moments, while Nuwara Eliya brought cool mountain air and beautiful scenery. The boat ride at Gregory Lake was a relaxing experience, and the walk to Lovers Leap Waterfall added a little adventure. Yala National Park was completely different and made the trip more exciting with its jeep safari. Bentota was perfect for slowing down and enjoying the beach. The candlelit dinner was a lovely romantic touch. Lanka Safe Tours handled the itinerary professionally and created a comfortable balance between sightseeing, adventure and quality time together.
