What To Expect

Yala National Park

We are one of leading tour service provider in Yala Since 1984. Park Gate is opens at 6 AM and we are ready to drive then. First Try is to get in to the park as one of first Jeeps. That will give us maximum opportunities everyday. Early morning first 2 hours and the day end last 2 hours is the golden hours for the leopard spotting. Therefore we will not waste our time with the common animals or birds within this time. After this Golden Hours we will change the driving style in to explaining process and stop by every single thing we see on our route. Within this tours to Yala, Big 3 is Leopard, Sloth Bear & Elephants. Other than that Many other different animal like Crocodiles, Monkeys, Deers, Birds, Jackals, Mongoose..... Many people in there reviews mentioned that the Yala is very busy, I have to say this, We will not drive only the main road of the park. Over set of Toyota Hilux/Toyota Land Cruiser Jeeps are able to Drive any road in the park and we will.

What an amazing place. So much wildlife and with the right guide its a great way to pass a few hours. Our guide seemed to have x-ray vision and he went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience. Animals and birds galore with a Leopard sighting too. A pit stop at the beach was beautiful, what a wonderful location.

Make sure you go with an empty stomach. Very dusty and hot and drivers are just driving around under they find an animal here and there... we saw elephants buffalos deers crocodile and birds. After finishing you just want to scrub yourself in the shower for an hour!. Although it was a protected national park ther are so many jeeps there the pollution was suffocating and polluting the park with those poor animals that just want to be left alone in their habitat

Nobody came to pick us up as scheduled. We called multiple times — no one answered. We requested a refund immediately, and it’s been over 3 weeks with no response and no refund. Completely unprofessional and unreliable. Not recommending this at all. Avoid.

I went on a tour of Yala safari. Sasanka was the best guide ever! The speed of the discovery of animals, we were able to see various animals! I'm happy with all his explanations and driving techniques!

Dana oso ondo. Sasanka oso atsegiña eta saiatua. Leopardoak, elephanteak eta abere ugari. Oso gomendagarria, 20 euros bakhach. LKR n eskudirutan ordaindu behar da.

These guyz are so friendly and professional. Always answered the phone when we called. They know where to find leopards and they know their way around the park like the back of their hand. The vehicles are well maintained and comfortable as well.
Incredible experience, guided by the best guide

What an incredible experience! Naja was wonderful and knew all the best spots, telling us all the interesting things about each animal seen. (Leopards, elephants, huge lizards, crocodiles, peacocks, buffaloes, monkeys and more!) He had huge amounts of experience of the park and made the experience so memorable. A once in a lifetime thing to do!

Prepare to be bashed, smashed, crashed and a little amazed. The first thing that strikes you is the sheer number of vehicles at are in the park.....heaps. It is at times the wacky races as each vehicle trys to out do the others to view your average wildlife. The likelyhood of seeing a leopard must surely be rare, what with all the noise and fumes from a myrid of diesel utes racing here there and everywhere. We did get an elephant walk right past us, but he was totall disinterested in all of us. The roads a pitted and rutted and you will be bashed from pillar to post for the entire 3-4 hrs....be prepared.
