FAQs
The drive from Mirissa to Yala takes around 3.5 to 4 hours. We leave early in the morning to ensure the best wildlife sightings.
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.
We suggest sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, insect repellent, and a camera with zoom. Light, comfortable clothing in neutral colors is best.
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.
