Top Yala National Park Natural Attractions

Tick off Yala National Park’s highlights on a morning, afternoon, or full-day 4-wheel-drive safari, timed to include the precious dawn or dusk “golden hours.” Your driver–guide collects you from your hotel, transports you to the park, then searches for Yala’s “big three”—leopards, sloth bears, and elephants. Don’t risk scaring the animals away as you tour in a small vehicle. Full-day tours include a tasty Sri Lankan lunch.

Yala National Park in Sri Lanka is home to hundreds of animal species, but this special safari focuses on the elusive leopard. Join a small group and venture out in the early morning in search of the spotted cat. While you drive around, you may also see other animals such as elephants, sloth bears, peacocks, snakes, and several bird species. Hotel pickup is included for added convenience.
