From Colombo & South: Yala Safari & Ella Day Trip

Experience Yala National Park on a private 4x4 safari, then explore Ella’s highlights, including Little Adam’s Peak and Nine Arch Bridge, with an optional adventure.
Start your Sri Lankan adventure with an early morning pickup from your hotel on the South Beach. Your exact pickup time will depend on your hotel location and will be confirmed in advance.

Travel comfortably in a private vehicle towards Yala National Park, one of Sri Lanka’s most famous wildlife destinations. We recommend arranging a breakfast takeaway pack from your hotel in advance, which you can enjoy during the safari.

Arrive at Yala National Park and begin your private half-day safari in a comfortable 4x4 safari jeep. Your experienced safari driver will take you through the park’s different landscapes, including forests, grasslands, lagoons and open areas, while searching for Sri Lanka’s wildlife. Yala is home to elephants, water buffalo, crocodiles, deer, wild boar and many species of birds, and is particularly famous for its leopard population. Wildlife sightings are naturally dependent on the animals’ movements and conditions on the day.

Yala National Park entrance tickets and the safari jeep are included in the tour price, so there is no additional safari entrance or jeep fee to pay.

After the safari, enjoy a lunch stop in the Yala area or along the way to Ella before continuing your scenic journey towards the mountains.

In Ella, visit the beautiful Little Adam’s Peak, where you can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Continue to the famous Nine Arch Bridge, one of Sri Lanka’s most photographed railway landmarks, surrounded by lush tropical scenery.

Depending on your available time, weather and conditions, choose one optional adventure experience: explore the underground Nil Diya Pokuna (Blue Water Pond) or visit Upper Diyaluma Waterfall and enjoy the surrounding natural scenery.

After completing your Ella sightseeing and selected activity, relax during the private drive back to your hotel.

This private day tour combines Yala wildlife, a comfortable 4x4 safari, mountain scenery and Ella’s most popular highlights in one memorable Sri Lankan experience.
