The early morning safari offers the best chance to spot leopards and other active wildlife. Afternoon safaris are also popular, but mornings are recommended.
Yes, advance booking is recommended, especially during peak tourist season (December to April), to secure jeep availability and park tickets.

Yes, the safari is family-friendly. Children will enjoy the adventure, but parents should ensure they bring snacks, water, and comfort items.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Yala National Park is during the dry season, from February to July. This is when water is scarce, so animals gather around waterholes and lagoons, making sightings of leopards, elephants, and other wildlife much easier.
For day safaris, early morning (around 6:00 AM) is ideal, as animals are most active before the heat of the day. Evening safaris (around 3:00 PM) are also good, but mornings generally offer a better chance to spot leopards.

Description
Your adventure begins with an early morning hotel pickup in Mirissa. As you leave the beachside town, the road takes you into Sri Lanka’s wild south. By sunrise, you’ll arrive at Yala National Park, the country’s most famous safari destination.
Here, your private 4×4 jeep and expert tracker await. Over the next four hours, you’ll explore Yala’s diverse landscapes—dry plains, rocky outcrops, lagoons, and jungles.
