When planning a trip to Sri Lanka, one destination that stands out for nature lovers and adventurers alike is Yala National Park. Renowned for its rich biodiversity and thrilling wildlife encounters, Yala offers visitors the unique chance to see leopards, elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles, and over 200 bird species in their natural habitat.
But there's one important detail many foreign travelers overlook until they arrive: to explore Yala National Park, you need a specialized safari jeep and an experienced guide. That's where Exclusive Yala Safari comes in. We offer private safari tours with luxury jeeps and a dedicated team of animal trackers to help you make the most of your adventure.
Let us walk you through everything you need to know for an unforgettable trip to Yala National Park.
Yala is not just Sri Lanka's second-largest national park—it's also one of the best places in the world to spot leopards in the wild. Covering over 970 square kilometers of forests, grasslands, and lagoons, the park is divided into multiple blocks, with Block 1 being the most visited due to its high concentration of animals.
One common issue faced by tourists is understanding how to access the park properly. Regular vehicles are not allowed beyond the gates—you need a specially equipped 4x4 safari jeep and a licensed driver.
Without these, your journey might end at the entrance.

Our trackers use their expert knowledge and real-time communication to locate wildlife so you don't miss a thing.
Start your journey at sunrise, the best time for animal sightings.
Our guide will handle entry permits and lead you into the park's wild zones.
From elephants bathing in lakes to leopards lounging in trees, every safari is a surprise.
Enjoy packed snacks and drinks during designated stops, surrounded by nature.
Bring your camera—our drivers know how to position the jeep for the perfect shot.
