Yala Safari

Leopards, elephants and lagoons by jeep

  • 1 Day
  • Yala National Park

Overview

Yala is famous for leopards, but also home to elephants, buffalo, crocodiles and abundant birdlife. The safari runs in an open jeep with a local tracker.

No one can guarantee sightings—which is exactly why every safari is unique.
