Where are you staying?
We collect from all over the south. Tell us where you’re based and we’ll show you the trips that actually work from there.
New · park tickets included
Skip the ticket queue at Yala
Every other jeep queues in the dark at 4.30am to buy a park permit — the hour the leopards are moving. We buy yours the day before, so you drive straight to the entrance and start looking.
- Entrance ticket already bought
- Nothing to pay at the gate
- Breakfast & hotel pickup included
Ella & the hill country
Staying in Ella?
Don’t drive back.
Wherever you're headed next — the south coast, Arugam Bay, or back to your same room in Ella — we put a guided game drive in the middle of the journey. Luggage carried, hotel to hotel, one day.
Safari + transfer
Coming the other way,
or doing two parks
The same idea, pointed the opposite direction. Start on the south coast or in Arugam Bay, take a game drive on the way, and finish the day at your next hotel — often up in Ella.

The tour guide Hishan was great, learned a few new facts
Świetna wycieczka. Kierowca Ojitha punktualny, bardzo przyjazny i bezproblemowy, dawał nam też dużo cennych wskazówek. Wycieczka mogła być dostosowana do naszych oczekiwań, kierowca był bardzo elastyczny. Dzieki temu spędziliśmy wspaniały dzień i zwiedziliśmy wszystko, co chcieliśmy. Serdecznie polecamy
On the organizers side everything was perfect and the guide/driver was trying hard and putting 100%. My only issue was with let’s say the park itself. The park is simply inhabited by very few animals. You can’t see them easily. I have been to safaris in Africa and South America where there is an abundance of animals. Here you literally have to spot them. But still we were able to see two leopards, a bear, crocodiles, deer, mangose, foxes or jackals, water buffaloes, peacocks, eagles and other birds. But it’s a different type of experience to other safaris. Also at the entrance we had a very unpleasant situation with other clients from my jeep. They are local but they were extorted by the guards to pay the foreign price. The guide assisted in everything and was very professional but overall from the management of the park side it was a very unpleasant experience and we wasted a lot of time for things to be sorted out.
