Sri Lanka is a year-round wildlife-watching destination but generally, the best times correspond with the main November-to-April tourist season. At this time of year, all the big parks are open and the dry conditions mean that animals start to gather around water holes, making them easier to spot (especially so between February and early April). If you can come in the May-to-October southwest monsoon season, head to the parks around the Ancient Cities and in the east of the island.
For all the major national parks and other protected areas, organizing a safari couldn’t be easier. Groups of safari jeep drivers can normally be found in the nearest town or gathered outside the gates, and hotels can also organize safaris. It’s normally just a case of turning up the evening before and discussing a price and your needs. Entry fees to all parks are paid directly at the entrance gates. At extremely busy parks such as Yala, it pays to plan ahead. One good local operator based in nearby Tissamaharama is Ajith Safari Jeep Tours.
