Yala Safari Reviews From Our Guests


"Gave us the most amazing time in yala national park"

Had the absolute best time with Kings Yala Safari! Saw everything we wanted to see and the staff worked so hard to help us have the best time and we’re so grateful. Tharindu who organised everything for us was great and so friendly and made sure everything was okay for us, and our driver worked tirelessly to search for the elusive leopard which we eventually found. He also put us in the best position to get a great view of it. Lunch was delicious and they even picked us up from our hotel. We also recommend staying at Tissa Lake Resort! Can’t thank them enough for the amazing time we had. 100% recommend doing the safari with them.

"second time with yala kings safari"

Yala Kings Safari has been our choice again. We came in Sri Lanka this year for the second time and we wanted to have another great experience in the Yala National Park. We choose these guys because they are very client oriented and they provide the best services. We booked a private full day tour. The Jeep was great and the driver's main objective was to see a leopard. So we did, but for a short time because after us others cars were gathering. The driver done really well in avoiding the crowds so we can experience the highest from Yala National Park.




"most amazing experience"


The safari with Yala Kings was an amazing experience. We were lucky enough to see a leopard and lots of elephants as well as many other animals thanks to our driver Amila. They also picked us up from our accommodation which was much appreciated after an early wake up call. If I ever went back I would use this company again, definitely recommended! 10/10!
