1.YALA BLOCK 5 & 6 (Weheragala & Lunugamwehera) Safari Tours

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 31 reviews · 5 - 12 hours · from $36Our pick

Quiet Yala Blocks 5 and 6 safari with Lunugamwehera and Weheragala, hotel pickup, binoculars, and strong leopard and elephant chances.

“We have done two half-day safari tours in block 5&6 (morning and afternoon). Both were excellent and well organized. Our guide - Ishan was incredible in spotting animals and providing facts about wildlife. I have chosen blocks 5&6 to avoid crowds in block 1 and it was definitely worth it, with a relaxed atmosphere and not too many jeeps around. Would definitely recommend!”

2.YALA BLOCK 5 & 6 (Weheragala & Lunugamwehera) Safari Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 30 reviews · 5 - 12 hours · from $35

Private Yala Block 5 and 6 safari with an English guide, binoculars, drinks, and flexible stops for leopard, elephant, and sloth bear spotting.

“We went for the afternoon pick up from Ella, & would recommend this shuttle service as a convenient way to include safari in your Sri Lanka itinerary, particularly if you’re short on time. Our guide Sasanka was very knowledgeable & good at spotting wildlife, we saw many different animals including elephants, crocodiles, buffalos & many interesting birds. He made a real effort to try and spot a leopard although it eluded us this time unfortunately! We were picked up from a central meeting point in Ella rather than our hotel (same with the rest of our group), and dropped off directly at our next hotel. Overall a really good service.”

“We took the 2 pm tour and really enjoyed it. The driver has shared with us lots of interesting information about the park and the animals. We also loved the hidden backroads where he drove us due to that we could really emerge in nature:) At the end of our tour we were lucky enough to see 3 leopards!”

Trust your guide, be patient. There is no elephants in this park but ask your guide, you’ll see them on the road.”

9.Wasgamuwa National Park Safari from Kandy

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · from $104

Wasgamuwa National Park safari from Kandy with private jeep, hotel pickup, free water, and a chance to see elephants and birds.

“We had an excellent driver, and the whole trip went smoothly. Wasgamuwa is not visited as much as other parks, so we benefited from a quite secluded and personal day on safari. We saw several elephants, deer, pelicans, peacocks and other birds, as well as lots of monkeys. We would definitely recommend this tour.”
