The experience

Why Weheregala?

Block 5/6 is the block many guests have not heard of, and the one that rewards you for going. It offers a diverse wildlife safari, and because the mid-day break rule does not apply here, you can stay out longer.

Questions Guests Ask

Why is there no mid-day break in Block 5/6?

Half Day (morning and evening), Morning Plus and Afternoon Plus. Message us if you would like a Full Day.

Is Block 5/6 good for leopards?

Had a really great experience with Sujeewa Yala Safari. We booked a private safari to Yala and were very happy with the service. … The Land Cruiser was also comfortable and had a good open view for watching animals.Lochana KarunarathnaGoogle review
