Before you book
Why pickup is at 02:30 – 03:00
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 Ella.
We confirm your exact pickup time the evening before, so you are never guessing.
Questions people ask
Do I need to check out of my hotel?
No. Keep your room. You're back in Ella the same evening.
Is this a shared or private jeep?
Private, just your group, at this price. One car seats up to 4 people; more than that, we arrange a second car.
What if it's my only day in Ella?
This is built for exactly that: one day, Yala and Ella both, no overnight needed.
