Description

Yala National Park, sprawling across southeast Sri Lanka, is a sanctuary where forests, grassland, and lagoons meet the Indian Ocean. This biodiverse haven is famed for its population of leopards, elephants, and crocodiles, alongside a spectacular array of bird species. Nestled within this natural splendour, Sithulpawwa stands out as a beacon of tranquillity, an ancient Buddhist monastery that whispers tales of a spiritual past.

Second tour with them. Absolute best

Had a Safari with my friends and I’m lost at words. I do not think they could deliver such an amazing service and they are so good at delivering the best experience for travellers. The safari was great, me and much buddies saw a bunch of varieties of animals.

"An amazing adventure.

"An amazing adventure! The journey from Colombo to Yala was smooth and comfortable. The safari itself was breathtaking — seeing leopards in their natural habitat was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The tour included great food, excellent service, and plenty of photo opportunities. If you love nature and wildlife, this day trip is a must-do. Will definitely book again!"

Amazing Yala safari!

Amazing wildlife sanctuary. It so nice to get the journey from Colombo and we enjoyed it with our driver Jana. The jeep driver was very knowledgeable and explained about everything he could do.

Amazing experience.

Took the day safari with Wasa as our driver. We had a very good day from the initial pick to the drop back at our hotel in Colombo. Wasa is a personable man who worked with us to ensure a welcoming, safe and comfortable day out. I would certainly recommend utilising his skills when you visit Sri Lanka. The destinations was amazing as well.

Fantastic tour from Colombo

Wasa our driver was fantastic. Very knowledgeable and efficient. He took great care of us and got us home in good time. It was a great trip but does take at least 12 hours so budget your time wisely.

Wonderful leopard safari tour!!

One of my to do lists in srilanka,finally i had this experience with Jk travels. It’s so cool bcz all the information was shared before the tour and we started the journey at 8.30 am. We reached to yala at 12.30 pm and I had my lunch there bcz the jeep will come there by 1.30pm. It was an afternoon safari which I loved to do that. Many wild animals were there and only 2 leopards. I think I was lucky to see that during my trip. Wonderful journey well organized.
