    Start your adventure with a 5:00 AM hotel pickup in Tissamaharama/Yala and travel in a 4x4 jeep to Yala National Park, Sri Lanka’s premier wildlife reserve. From 6:00–8:00 AM, experience the golden hours when leopards are most active, alongside elephants grazing, crocodiles basking, and herds of buffalo and spotted deer. Keep an eye out for playful monkeys and vibrant birdlife such as peacocks, eagles, and bee-eaters. On the 7-hour safari, explore diverse landscapes of lagoons, forests, and open plains before a short rest stop, returning by 12:00 PM. On the full-day safari, enjoy a picnic-style lunch inside the park, then continue across multiple zones for a chance to encounter rarer species like sloth bears and jackals. Conclude with an evening drive from 3:30–5:00 PM, another peak time for leopard activity, before exiting the park at 5:30 PM and returning to your hotel with unforgettable memories. Your safari will be led by an experienced local driver who speaks English at no cost.
