Tour Overview
Yala National Park is Sri Lanka's most celebrated wildlife reserve and one of the best places on earth to spot the elusive Sri Lankan leopard. On this private day tour from Galle or Mirissa, you'll board a dedicated 4x4 safari jeep inside the park and spend 3–4 hours tracking leopards, wild elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles, water buffalo, spotted deer, peacocks and hundreds of exotic bird species across Yala's diverse ecosystems of scrub jungle, lagoons and open grasslands.
