We had so much fun during our safari! Saw elephants, Leopard, crocodiles, sloth bear, many different birds and so much more. Our guide was really knowledgeable and did his very best to spot all the animals. Would definitely recommend booking your tour for Yala national park here!

Great experience - we saw leopards, elephants, alligators, deer, buffalo and even a solitary cute turtle. The driver were really knowledgeable and friendly and it seemed like the animals lived in good conditions. Would recommend getting there very early (We arrived at 5am) as the animals started to disperse to the underground towards the end of our trip. Excellent tour with Shehan Safaris!

This is the best national park in Sri Lanka, as there are so many animals here. We went on the afternoon tour from 2pm to 6 pm and were absolutely stunned by the elephants, crocodiles and even beautiful deers. We fortunately see 2 leopards.
The park is huge and it really took almost 4 hours to drive around it! Wonderful experience.

Helpful Questions from Our Community
Can you arrange transportation to/from Yala National Park?
Yes sure! If you're coming from any other parts of Sri Lanka (e.g. Colombo) to Yala National Park for your safari, or you need to head from Yala National Park to any other parts of Sri Lanka after your safari, we can provide a private car transfer. This will cost US $60 per 4-person car, per one-way transfer. Please do indicate in your booking form if you require this transfer.
Which Yala National Park Blocks do you visit?
Most of our safari partners visit Block 1 as that is the one that is closest to the towns of Tissamaharam and Kataragama where most of the hotels are. It is also the block which has the most wildlife. Block 5 is visited on occasion. The other blocks require special permission for entry. If you have a certain block in mind, do let us know and we can see if we can arrange!
What should I pack?
Binoculars
