We enter the park before sunrise, or Evening Session when wildlife is most active. This early access greatly improves your chances of seeing leopards, sloth bears, elephants, and many other species in their natural behaviour.

Yala is home to an incredible variety of animals including elephants, sloth bears, wild boar, spotted deer, mongooses, monitor lizards, wild buffalo, sambar deer, jackals, monkeys, crocodiles, jungle fowl, peacocks, storks, pigeons, bee-eaters, eagles, kites, falcons, pelicans, kingfishers, hornbills, snakes, beetles, aquatic species, and countless birds.

Above all, we always place wildlife respect at the heart of every safari.
