Yala National Park
Overview
Yala National Park is Sri Lanka's best-known safari destination, combining scrub jungle, open glades, rocky outcrops, and seasonal waterholes in one of the island's richest wildlife habitats.
Choose from shared morning drives, evening private safaris, or full-day shared and private expeditions—all with luxury jeeps, water, and binoculars. Selected packages include Sri Lankan breakfast, lunch, fruits, and national park entrance tickets.
Yala is especially known for leopard sightings, but elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles, deer, wild boar, jackals, peafowl, and a wide variety of birdlife also make every drive rewarding.
