South East Sri Lanka

Yala National Park

Sri Lanka’s celebrated south-east safari park, where dry woodland, lagoons and open plains support leopards, elephants and rich birdlife.

Yala National Park is Sri Lanka’s best-known wildlife destination, combining thorny dry-zone bush, freshwater lagoons, rocky outcrops and a wild Indian Ocean edge. A private Yala safari is especially rewarding for travellers hoping to see leopard, elephant, spotted deer, crocodile and birds, while the park’s changing landscapes make every jeep drive feel distinct. Chauffeur Emil can plan the road journey, overnight base and safari timing around Tissamaharama, Ella or the south coast.
