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.
