Itinerary
There are many different reasons to add Yala National Park to your must-see list: the chance to go on safari and see a wild boar or majestic Sri Lankan leopard, the winding trails, and the fact that in some places the park even touches the Indian Ocean. However, two of the most popular reasons to visit are Sithulpauwwa, a Buddhist rock temple, and Magul Maha Viharaya, where folklore says an ancient king wed an abandoned princess. The history and artifacts found here transport you back to those ancient times.

5Best safari!
Me and my friends did a full day safari and it was one of our highlights of Sri Lanka! Our guide was Sampath and he was truly amazing!! He tried his best to give us the best experience ever and his passion was truly addicting. He answered every question with his expertise and took amazing pictures which he sent to us afterwards!! Priyan was our driver and I’m not exaggerating when I’m saying that he’s one of the best drivers he’s ever seen and it was so much fun which both of them!! Can truly recommend this safari and especially doing it with these two :) Thanks again!
51/2 day Yala morning tour
What an amazing morning your with Yala Odyssey Tours Janith was our awesome driver who made sure we didn’t miss out on getting the best view of the animals. Our amazing knowledgeable guide was Sandaruwan. He explained so many interesting facts about all of the animals and answered all of our questions. We were very lucky to have seen 2 leopards today! Thank you so much to you both for a day we will remember. Regards Kerry
5An amazing full day safari!
Our tour guide and driver were both so professional, experienced and friendly. They made our safari a 10/10 experience! Thank you so much for all the knowledge you shared and driving us around to see 10 different animals, including elephants and leopards. I highly recommend them for your Yala safari!
5Great day out
Amazing safari tour and guide. Pick up 3 am from hotel in mirissa, entered the park at 6am. Saw a range of elephants, water buffalo, lizards, mongoose, jackle, deer, monkeys crocodiles, native birds and even a leopard on the way out of the park. Was good value experience and day, with a traditional breakfast included cooked by his family.
5Perfect from start to finish; great for a partners birthday!
We had a fantastic experience. Hestha organised the most perfect private tour for us for my partners birthday, including seamless transfers from and to accommodation and a brilliant tour where we got to see leopards, elephants, monkeys, deer, mongoose to name a few. Our driver Priyan was very experienced and Hestha knew a lot of facts about the park and wildlife which enriched the trip further. We had no stress at all as everything including park tickets was included in the price. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
5We saw TWO leopards! 😱✨
This tour was amazing! Hestha was very passionate about animals and explained to us everything with detail. We went to Block 1 and we saw TWO leopards!!!

About Yala National Park
Yala is Sri Lanka's most visited wildlife park, a dry-zone reserve of scrub, lagoons and rock on the south-east coast, famous for leopards and elephants.
Yala National Park covers a large area of the south-east coast of Sri Lanka, a mix of dry scrub forest, grassland, lagoons, rocky outcrops and sand dunes beside the Indian Ocean. It was set aside as a wildlife sanctuary in 1900 and became a national park in 1938, and it is divided into blocks, of which Block 1 is the most visited. Tissamaharama, a town on a large lake, is the usual base.
