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
