- Sightings are wild. Never guaranteed, always worth it
Before you book
Why pickup is at 02:00 – 02:30
Yala's gates open at first light, and that is when the park is best: animals move at dawn, then rest once the day heats up. Getting you to the gate for opening means starting in the dark from Arugam Bay.
We confirm your exact pickup time the evening before, so you are never guessing.
Questions people ask
Can we surf before we leave?
Ask us for an early pickup if you want first light in the water before the road.
How long is the drive itself?
About 3 hours each leg, with the safari in the middle.
Do you collect from Panama or Pottuvil too?
Yes, tell us your exact stay when you book.
