Full Day Safari · Sunrise to sunset
A full day inside Yala National Park, from dawn to dusk. Witness Sri Lanka’s majestic wildlife in its natural habitat, made for true nature lovers and photographers.
The Full Day Safari gives you the chance to explore both morning and evening, when animals are most active. With more time inside the park, you can travel deeper through different tracks and less-crowded zones, increasing your chances of spotting leopards, elephants and sloth bears.
Enjoy a peaceful mid-day break by the beach or river and see Yala’s wild beauty from sunrise to sunset.
Wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, but a full day gives you the best odds.
Your driver collects you from your hotel in the Kataragama area.
