Ceylon Hunt · Yala Safaris

What We Arrange in Yala

Book any one of these on its own, or bundle them together — a jeep for the drive, a ranger to read the wild, and a camp to stay the night inside the park.

Safari jeep in Yala National Park

The Ride

Safari Jeep

A comfortable 4×4 with a driver who knows the park — where the leopards rest, where the elephants cross, and how to be there first.

Wildlife spotting in Yala National Park

The Guide

Wildlife Ranger

Add an expert ranger to your jeep to decode the tracks, calls and behaviour you’d otherwise drive right past — ideal for first-timers and photographers.

The Stay

Camp Site

Our team sets up a safe overnight camp so you can fall asleep to the sounds of the wild and head out on a dawn drive before the crowds arrive.

Excellent Experience with Ceylon Hunt

Excellent experience with Charitha as our driver. He was very knowledgeable and recommended the best things to do around Sri Lanka. Would recommend booking through Ceylon Hunt — everything ran like clockwork from day one.

An unforgettable family trip

From day one to the final seventh day, our guide Mr. Shirantha Fernando took care of us with such warmth and thoughtfulness — it felt less like a service and more like being cared for by a family member. This trip will always hold a very special place in our family memories.

Questions

Before you book your safari

Your booking covers the jeep, fuel and an experienced driver-tracker for the drive. Park entrance tickets are usually paid separately at the gate — we’ll tell you the current rates and can include them in your quote so there are no surprises.

Early morning and late afternoon drives generally give the best sightings, and the drier months make wildlife easier to spot around waterholes. Send us your dates and we’ll advise the best session for what you most want to see.

Yes. An expert ranger rides along to guide you through the park’s wildlife, tracks and behaviour — a great add-on if it’s your first safari or you’re keen on birds and photography. Just tick “Wildlife Ranger” on the form.

We do. Our team sets up a safe camp with the gear you need so you can spend the night surrounded by the wild and catch a dawn drive. Let us know your group size and dates and we’ll put the details together.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, cash and bank transfer, with details shared once your safari is confirmed. For pick-ups, tell us your hotel or location near Yala and we’ll arrange a convenient meeting point and time.

Absolutely. Many guests add Yala to a longer trip taking in Kandy, Ella and the south coast. Mention it in the notes and we’ll build a full itinerary around your safari.
