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 lose a travel day doing this?
No. This replaces both your travel day and a separate Yala day. One day, two things done.
What happens to my bags?
They travel with you the whole way. No storage, no second trip.
Which coastal towns can I be dropped at?
Tangalle, Mirissa, Weligama, Ahangama, Unawatuna or Galle. Tell us when you book.
