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
Timed to your ship, not a fixed clock
Cruise shore-leave windows move with your ship's schedule, not sunrise. We build your safari around whatever window you're given.
Yala is close enough to the port that we can still fit a real game drive in, not a token drive-by.
Tell us your ship's docking and last-boarding times when you book, and we'll confirm pickup around them.
Questions people ask
Is Yala really close enough to the port?
Yes, under an hour from Hambantota port to the gate.
What if our shore leave is short?
Tell us the window and we'll build the safari to fit it, or suggest a shorter alternative.
Do you guarantee we're back before the ship leaves?
Yes, we plan with a buffer against last-boarding time, every trip.
