What To Expect
National Park Visit Options During this tour, you'll have the opportunity to visit one of two main national parks: [Park 1] or [Park 2]. If you'd like to explore both parks, we can arrange a half-day tour for each, allowing you to experience the best of both worlds. 1. Yala National Park (Block 1 or Blocks 5 & 6) Experience the incredible wildlife of Sri Lanka’s Yala National Park during this 6-hour private excursion. Scout for elephants, bears, leopards, and deer in a park considered to be among the best in the world for up-close wild animal encounters. 02. Udawalawe National Park With herds of elephants, wild buffalo, sambars and spotted deer, and giant squirrels, this Sri Lankan national park is one of the nation's finest. Udawalawe Park is home to over 400 wild elephants, which are permanent residents, and so the concentration is quite high. Additional Safari Options In addition to the above options, we can also arrange for you to visit Bundala and Lunugamwehera National Parks for a thrilling safari experience. Let us know if you'd like to customise your tour to include these parks. Duration: 4/6 hours for Morning & 4 hours for Evening Duration: 12 Hours Full Day Safari

Excellent All-Inclusive Safari in Yala - Highly Recommended

5.00We had a fantastic all-inclusive safari in Yala National Park and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dylan organised everything perfectly from start to finish, making the whole day completely stress-free. Yes, it’s an early start, but it’s absolutely worth it. The park is stunning - lakes, forest, and open plains - and being there early means you really feel immersed in nature before the crowds arrive. We saw an incredible amount of wildlife including elephants, crocodiles, mongoose and plenty of birdlife, and there was always time to stop, watch and take photos without feeling rushed. Dylan was friendly, professional and clearly knows how to make the experience enjoyable and seamless for guests. If you’re planning a safari in Yala National Park, I’d highly recommend booking with Dylan. A long day, but an unforgettable one.
Over all expectations! Couldn’t have asked for a better tour!

5.00We had such an amazing time doing this tour! We chose to do the gates 5 and 6, which we were so happy about. Not only were there almost no other humans in sight, but we also got to see the famous leopard despite not being in the crowded gate 1. Our amazing tour guide stopped at beautiful viewpoints and waterfalls on the way to the safari and he even stopped and got us baked goods and mango because we were hungry! He also gave us such good information about Sri Lanka and the animals. 10/10 experience all around, would highly recommended booking with this company if you are considering a safari.
Amazing is an understatement!

5.00We had the most amazing safari experience at Yala National Park with Ruma and Podi! Everything was so well organised from the start, with a right on time pickup and even breakfast and lunch set up at a lovely spot with a proper table, such a thoughtful touch. Ruma was incredibly knowledgeable and made the whole experience so fun and engaging. We were lucky enough to see almost all the animals in the park, which was so exciting! We didn’t spot any leopards, but honestly, we didn’t mind at all. The boys tried so hard, and with the rain, they just weren’t out that day. You could really see how much effort they put in for us. What stood out the most was how kind, sweet, and genuinely caring Ruma and Podi are. Always smiling, always checking in, and doing everything they could to make sure we had the best time. Such a special experience, we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting! 🦒✨
Excellent safari experience

5.00We had an amazing time on this safari trip and everything ran smoothly! They arranged pick up from Hiriketiya to the safari and then onward transfer to Ella. Dylan was a great guide and we were really lucky to see two leopards! Would definitely recommend this tour

5.00Highly recommended, we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. We explored Blocks 5 and 6 and were lucky enough to see a leopard, elephants, crocodiles, and much more. Dylan shared a lot of fascinating information about the animals, patiently answered all of our questions, and made sure we had a truly great time throughout the safari. Another big plus was the smooth pick-up in Hiriketiya and drop-off in Ella, as well as a delicious breakfast. I’m incredibly grateful for this experience and really happy we found such an ethical and kind guide. Thank you!
The luckiest trip possible

5.00Dylan was the greatest, the sweetest and most genuine guid in Sri Lanka. He has crazy knowledge and attention to details - in the middle of the explanation he can spot an aligator blending with the floating log in the water from a 100 meters(photo attached). If He also cares a lot about us, the animals and general experience. We would never thought one day we can se leopard, elephants and learn so much about birds! He also fully organised a driver for us for a pick up from Hiriketiya to Yala and afterwards from Yala to Ella and organised breakfast and water bottles which was extremely helpful. Lastly he was also the sweetest person, often posed us without us asking and took photos with amazing quality and sent it all to us later. Great pleasure to met him and experience my first safari with this amazing man! Thank u so much Dylan, you were amazing:)
Amazing safari, exceptional guide

5.00We were really lucky that we found this safari trip, Dylan is a wonderful guide and you can see that he loves what he’s doing and he really cares about animals and environment. We were a group of 6. Everything went well and as discussed before, transportation to the park was on time, we started in Hiriketiya and were dropped off in Ella. The driver was really nice - he even offered us some time to watch the waterfall.
Great safari in Yala

5.00Dylan was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide. We saw both elephants and a leopard, both extremely special experiences for my partner and myself. Both Dylan and his colleague's love for the animals was very apparent to see. Lunch was in a lovely sheltered spot. We recommend Dylan to anyone wanting to explore the Beautiful Yala national park.

5.00Dylan and his team were so good with communication and were really knowledgeable with the behaviours of all the Safari animals. We were able to spot a leopard, such a rare sighting, alongside elephants and other amazing animals! Definitely recommend doing this trip!
Don't hesitate. book this Yala safari with Dylan

5.00We had the most incredible safari experience, it surpassed all expectations! I booked last minute for our group of 3 and Dylan (our guide) went through all the best options to suit us, there is not a thing he doesn't know about Yala I think. We went to block 6 and came across only 6 jeeps the entire time. We saw so many elephants, deer, crocodiles, wild birds, jackals, monkeys and then to top the day off we saw a leopard lazing under a tree. A day of pure magic with a guide who truly cares about the animals and their natiral habitat, he goes above and beyond to ensure the magic of Sri Lanka is shared with the people who have the privilege of having him as their guide. I can't recommend Dylan as a guide enough. Istuti
