The most trusted name in Sri Lankan safari. Family-run since 1987, licensed across four national parks, and the operator tens of thousands of travellers have chosen to put their one morning in Yala in the hands of. Nobody knows these gates better.

Hishan was our safari guide, and he was really knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to lots of places, and overall, it was a nice experience at the park itself. Unfortunately, the driver in the morning (from Ella to the Park) drove extremely fast and recklessly, making us all feel car sick. Even worse, he hit a dog on the road right in front of our eyes because he was driving too fast and was unable to control the car. It was a very upsetting experience to witness.

A nice trip; we saw lots of animals, and our guide, Nawam, was good at spotting them. The roads in the national park were a bit bumpy, which was quite tough.

Great park, the driver made some efforts to find good animals. Problem is when someone spots a leopard or similar, all the jeeps create traffic and no priority whatsoever so crowded.

Sandaru y laksiri fueron nuestros guías. Vimos todo tipo de animales incluso un leopardo, que suelen ser más difíciles de encontrar. Muy buena experiencia.

ツアー内容は記載の通りで、移動と観光をセットで安く出来、とても満足しています。 エッラに朝3時に迎えで、道路で10分ほど待っていたらバンが迎えに来てくれました。その日は10名がエッラから乗り込み、5時に大きい荷物はバンに置いたまま集合場所の様なところでジープに乗り換えてヤーラ国立公園へ向かいました。乗り換える際の説明などはあまりないですが、係の人が指示してくれるのでその通りにしていれば大丈夫です。6人乗りのジープに乗り、公園の入場料はその時は14200スリランカルピーを現金で運転手に支払いました。値段はその時の人数などによって変わるのだと思います。ちょうど公園に入ったのは6時頃で朝日がとても綺麗でした。そこから10時ごろまで公園にいて、11時にバンに戻り、ゴールの街に着いたのは14時でした。途中ご飯を食べる時間などはないので、移動中に食べられるものは必ず持って行った方がいいと思います。あと、お手洗いに行ける回数も集合場所の乗り換え時と公園入る前と、入った最中くらいしかないため行ける時には必ず行った方がいいです。ジープはかなり揺れるのと、砂埃で顔も髪も汚れるのでそのつもりの服装で行ってください。動物をどれだけ見れるかは運ですが、運転手の方が見つけるのが上手でヒョウは見れなかったですが満足しています。

GetYourGuide traveller · Verified bookingHikkaduwa/Galle/Weligama/Mirissa/Tangalle: Udawalawa Safari

We had an absolutely amazing time on this safari! Our guides, Dilan and Mahesh, did a fantastic job and made the experience truly unforgettable. We were lucky enough to spot several rare species in the national park, which was definitely a highlight. The additional stop at the Elephant Transit Home was also a wonderful experience. Watching the baby elephants being fed was absolutely adorable! My recommendation: Start in Tangalle at around 12:30 PM. This allows you to reach the Elephant Transit Home in time for the 2:00 PM for the 2:30 PM feeding session and then start the safari at around 3:00 PM. This gives you approximately three hours to explore the national park before it gets dark. Overall, a fantastic experience with knowledgeable and friendly guides. We couldn’t recommend it more.
