  • 5Great Safari

    What a fantastic experience, absolutely amazing. Booked this trip thry Tripadvisor and the whole process has been so smooth and easy. Great communication from the tour operator and our taxi driver who picked us up early in the morning to take us from Ella to Yala. The safari was magnificent, saw many animals but most important we saw elephants which was the highlight. I would highly recommend this tour.

  • 5A Safari That Made Our Trip Special

    What stood out most about our Yala Safari was how relaxed the whole experience felt. We never felt like we were being rushed from one place to another, which gave us time to enjoy the park properly. During the safari we saw elephants, crocodiles, spotted deer, peacocks, monkeys, wild boar, and many beautiful birds. We were also fortunate to spot a leopard, making the day even more memorable. Our driver was friendly, drove responsibly, and always positioned the jeep so everyone had a clear view without disturbing the wildlife. Everything was well organized, and I would happily recommend this Yala Safari to anyone looking for a genuine wildlife experience in Sri Lanka

  • 5An Early Start Worth Every Minute

    We were on the road early for our Yala Safari, and it was definitely worth the early start. The park was calm, and it felt great watching nature slowly come to life. Throughout the safari we saw elephants, crocodiles, spotted deer, peacocks, monkeys, wild boar, and many beautiful birds. Just when we thought the trip was ending, we were lucky enough to spot a leopard. Our driver was friendly, careful, and never rushed between sightings. He always made sure everyone had time to enjoy the moment. It was a comfortable, well-organized safari that I would happily recommend to anyone visiting Yala

  • 5A great day out

    Overall great trip. It started early but we were able to get to the park for 6.30am and see lots of animals. Seen a couple of leopards, loads of elephants, some monkeys and other wildlife. Our guide was great at finding each animal and making sure we had enough time at each. Food was delicious. A long day but worth it.

About Galle

Galle is a southern Sri Lankan port city whose Dutch-era fort, with ramparts above the sea, shelters cafés, churches and old merchant houses.

Galle Fort was started by the Portuguese in the late sixteenth century and extensively built by the Dutch in the seventeenth, and it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Inside its thick sea walls, people still live and work among Dutch-style houses, mosques, churches and small galleries. A circuit of the ramparts at sunset, passing the lighthouse and the clock tower, is the favourite local walk.
