Private Yala safari from Hambantota Port. Open-jeep big-game and birds with guide, private transport, entrance fees extra.
“A lot of hanging around, particularly at the bus to 4WD exchange point. The park needs to invest in better track maintenance with the US $45 per person entry fee, as the roads were the worst we have encountered on any safari across the Globe, meaning the main Leopard activity area was inaccessible and the journey was uncomfortable. We saw a decent amount of wildlife including a herd of Elephants, Monitor Lizards, Monkeys, Waterbufallo, Crocodiles and various exotic birds.”
