  • Your bags travel with you, no storage, no second trip
  • Pickup and drop-off at both ends
  • Free cancellation up to 24 hours before

Good to know

  • This price is the car only. The booking form adds the safari jeep and the DWC park tickets for your group, fees and VAT included

  • Bumpy roads inside the park; not ideal if you're pregnant or have back problems
  • Sightings are wild. Never guaranteed, always worth it
Before you book

Why pickup is at 00:30 – 01:00

This is the longest combo we run: Anuradhapura to Yala alone is close to five hours. We'd rather tell you that now than surprise you on the day.

An almost-midnight pickup is what it takes to reach the gate for opening, when the park is genuinely at its best.

We confirm your exact pickup time the evening before, so you are never guessing.

Questions people ask

Is there a shorter way to do this?

Splitting it over two days, with a night near Yala, is more comfortable. Ask us for that option.

Do our bags travel with us the whole way?

Yes, no storage, no second transfer.

Which coastal towns can we be dropped at?

Tangalle, Mirissa, Weligama, Ahangama, Unawatuna or Galle.
