Yala
Destination
Overview
Yala National Park gives the best opportunity to witness Sri Lanka’s broad variety of wildlife: colourful painted storks in troops are seen perched at the shores of lagoon where the crocodiles too have chosen to doze off; lovely fantailed peacocks in their resplendent blues and greens parade about amidst the woods where monkeys hang, leap and chatter; in the bush jungle where the Elephant crossing and wandering off into the thorny scrub jungle is the star attraction of the park.

WILD GAME DRIVE
WILD GAME DRIVE
A complete portfolio of habitats ranging from shrub jungle, plains, wetlands and riverine forests that offer rich array of biodiversity as well as ecological and geological variations. Our game drives are guided by rangers who interpret all aspects of our wilds, paying attention to the entire spectrum of nature from tiniest of critters, plant species, birds, reptiles and amphibians, to the larger and charismatic mammals such as elephants, bear, and leopard. Each day, our team of rangers will consult with guests and recommend which sectors of Yala and Bundala national parks would be best to visit.
