If you reserve your ticket online, the process will be quicker, allowing you to enter the park before the other jeeps.

We saw many things beyond the park. Our guide, Eranga, was very friendly and flexible. He took us wherever we wanted, to the beach or other attractions. There was no power in the hotel which was booked for us, but he immediately found another hotel.
Thank you so much, it is been a long time after your visit. How are you doing?
This tour was epic! The guide Eranga made the entire experience with his historical knowledge and his passion for the indigenous birds. Very welcoming & easy to communicate with. Willing to adapt the tour & safari schedule as needed (such as a better time to view a Leopard!!!). He actually takes his time and pays attention to your requests. Never felt “rushed” while visiting different locations. If you have any specific needs, he will accommodate. If you are thinking about a Safari in Yala (as well as the many other sites), you should definitely book this trip with Eranga!!!
