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.

Our story
A family of trackers who never lost the wonder
What began with a single jeep and a deep love for Yala has grown into one of Sri Lanka’s most trusted safari teams. We still run every tour the way we always have — small, personal, and led by people who read the jungle like a second language.
- Born and raised on the edge of Yala — this is our backyard
- Every guide is licensed by the Department of Wildlife
- Well-maintained 4×4 jeeps with genuine open views
- Direct booking means honest prices, no middlemen

Tikiri was an excellent guide and could spot all animals. We were able to see a leopard. The tour was well-organised. We were staying in Hikkaduwa and were the last to be dropped off so the drive after the safari was long.
Unser Guido war Nuwan, er war sehr aufmerksam, sehr nett und freundlich . Es hat Spaß gemacht ihn als Guide gehabt zu haben
Hishan was our safari guide, and he was really knowledgeable and friendly. He took us to lots of places, and overall, it was a nice experience at the park itself. Unfortunately, the driver in the morning (from Ella to the Park) drove extremely fast and recklessly, making us all feel car sick. Even worse, he hit a dog on the road right in front of our eyes because he was driving too fast and was unable to control the car. It was a very upsetting experience to witness.
