I’ve lined up the Yala and Udawalawe safaris that run from Galle, because the two parks suit different trips. Udawalawe is closer and all but guarantees elephants; Yala holds the island’s famous leopards, plus the crowds chasing them. Either way, expect a pre-dawn pickup.
Discover Sri Lanka’s wildlife and scenic landscapes with this door-to-door safari tour from the coast to Ella, featuring authentic wildlife sightings and stunning mountain views.
