This full-day safari adventure begins with an early departure from Colombo or Negombo to maximise your time in Yala National Park during the peak wildlife activity hours of early morning and late afternoon. The park is home to the highest density of leopards of any protected area in the world, alongside large herds of elephants, sloth bears, mugger crocodiles, spotted deer, wild boar and a stunning diversity of birdlife that includes painted storks, pelicans and white-bellied sea eagles. Your open jeep is driven by an experienced tracker who knows the park’s trails and animal behaviour intimately, maximising your chances of exceptional sightings and ensuring that every game drive feels like a genuine expedition.
