Ella, Bandarawela, or Haputale to Yala National Park Safari
Overview
Your day begins with a comfortable pickup from Ella or nearby towns in a private air conditioned vehicle. Sit back and enjoy the scenic drive through Sri Lanka’s lush hill country as you head toward your first stop, Ravana Waterfalls. Here you can relax, take photos, and enjoy the refreshing mountain atmosphere surrounded by natural beauty.
After your waterfall visit, continue your journey through changing landscapes as the road descends toward the southern plains. You will pass rural villages, paddy fields, and tropical scenery before reaching Yala National Park, home to one of the highest densities of leopards in the world.
Upon arrival, meet your licensed safari ranger and board a 4x4 jeep designed for wildlife viewing. Your safari takes you deep into the park where you may encounter elephants, leopards, crocodiles, spotted deer, sloth bears, peacocks, and many exotic bird species. Your ranger will help you safely observe and photograph wildlife while following strict conservation and park regulations.
After the safari experience, begin your relaxing return journey back to Ella or surrounding hill country towns, carrying unforgettable memories of Sri Lanka’s wildlife and natural landscapes.
