Yala National Park Private Leopard Safari: Half & Full-Day

Chamara Prabashana at Ceylon Safari is the best for all of Yala National park safari's. We have been going with Ceylon Safari since 2021, and it has never been a dull moment on tour. His super knowledge about the jungle, skills in animal tracking is second to none. Will always recommend Ceylon safari for your Yala tours.

We had an amazing full-day safari experience with Ceylon Safari Tours at Yala National Park on the 2nd of May. We were picked up from our hotel at 5:00 AM and headed directly to the park. The morning safari session lasted until 12:00 noon, giving us plenty of time to explore and enjoy the wildlife. After that, we had a relaxing break from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, and then continued with the second safari session from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM. At the end of the day, we were safely dropped back at our hotel. A special thank you to our guide, Mr. Chamara, who did an incredible job throughout the safari. His knowledge and dedication made the experience truly memorable. We were lucky to see “Sapu,” a young and very graceful leopard, and I’ve also uploaded her pictures. In addition, we saw a wide variety of species living in the park. The highlight of our trip was spotting four leopards roaming freely in their natural habitat an unforgettable experience! Thank you again to Mr. Chamara and Ceylon Safari Tours for giving us such a wonderful experience. Highly recommended!

Extra excellent experience and We got a golden chance of tiger with her new cubes to soo closely because of our tour guide.Highly recommend him and he is superb in these safari roots which animals can be seen..Thanks for the superb experience. we will come again soon.

This guy is unbelievable!! Best price and best driver!! The only jeep I saw that had the knowledge and bravery to get close to adult tusk elephants whilst all others shyed away - he had great knowledge service with a smile and a great jeep. I was recommended by a friend for his service (and he’s happy to take couples we had the whole jeep to ourselves - no one else we saw did - they were packed in groups of 6 or 8 Ok so there’s about 50 different vendors here this is outright the best - ridiculous value for money and a better experience than anything else available.

We did a day trip to the Yale NP and loved it. Our driver/guide Chamara picked us up Arrived at the hotel on time and we drove into a different gate than the Main Gate to avoid the huge crowd. We were one of the first at the entrance. Despite modest weather in the morning, we were able to discover many animals that Chamara showed us. He has good knowledge and a great eye. Even though we sometimes disliked the number of other off-road vehicles in the NP, he drove relatively often back into paths that were more untouched. So it bothered less. Shortly before sunset we got lucky and saw a male leopard on a tree, as well as a female leopard right next to the car. Great day trip. Thank you Chamara.

Had a brilliant day with my daughter in a private Jeep with Chamara! He was extremely knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. Finding all the spots where the wildlife was. We saw every animal even leopard with him. He was bang on time and price was as reasonable as I could find. Highly recommend!!! Thank you again!

We had an amazing day, got picked up early day and drove into the sunshine while the park was slowing waking up, tour operator was driving very carefully and listening closely to the sound of nature, to make sure we get to the best spots and get to see the wildlife that the amazing Yala national park can offer. And we got lucky! A big leopard crossing the road, migrating elephants and many great birds. We then had the spot for a lunch, next to the beach we got served a great home cooked lunch, warm rich of taste and great quantities. We really enjoyed it! Then time for some quick walking around the beach before we got on the safari truck again, in the afternoon we explored another part of the park which was just as amazing as the first. Amazing day, once again we were greatly informed about all the different type of wildlife we were seeing and more about the park and nature. Amazing day! Thank you so much!

Had a superb full day at Yala. Our driver Gamini (hopefully spelled correct) was extremely knowledgeable about all wildlife in the park and was also an expert guide, the experience was more than just ‘chasing a leopard’ and following the crowd. He was a pleasure to talk to and gave us a life-lasting experience we will never forget. We got so much more out of the day trip being made aware of an abundance of birdlife ranging from sea eagles to hornbills and spoonbills, owls and many kingfishers. Most notably a rare blackhead Stork. When the opportunity of seeing a Leopard presented itself we were at the front of the queue and although by chance, our guides wisdom, knowledge and experience in hanging back from the crowd did in the end get the best result. I would 100% recommend this company and Gamini if you are lucky.

We had the most incredible full-day safari experience! Our guide was exceptional at spotting wildlife we never would have seen on our own and truly maximized every moment in the park. He made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the day, was punctual and attentive, and navigated both the terrain and park routes with impressive skill and expertise. We are so grateful for such a seamless, unforgettable experience and cannot recommend this tour company highly enough!
