★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 818 reviews · 5 - 12 hours · from $25Our pick

Choose a 5-hour evening, 7-hour morning, or 12-hour Yala safari from Kotapola and nearby towns. Your English-speaking driver-guide, such as Ishan, Maduka, Darshana, or Damith, takes you through forest, grassland, and lagoons in search of leopards, elephants, crocodiles, and birds. Breakfast comes with morning and full-day trips; lunch is included on the full-day option.

“This was such an amazing experience, and our guide, Darshana, was simply the best. He has an incredible amount of knowledge about the national park and its wildlife, and even after working there for 15 years, you could clearly see how much he loves his job and still gets genuinely excited when spotting certain animals. We saw lots of different animals and were also lucky enough to see one of the leopards. Breakfast and lunch were both delicious. Overall, we had a wonderful day on this tour and can definitely recommend it!”

Meet near Rocko’s Vegetarian Cafe in Pidurangala for a small-group night walk led by an English-speaking naturalist. You’ll receive a short loris briefing, use supplied headlamps, and search the jungle for these shy primates, with other nocturnal wildlife along the way.

“We loved this tour and our guides. The tour company (Back of Beyond) is actually more of a conservation organization. They had a little presentation before our tour about the Loris and what they are doing to protect it. Then they gave us all head lamps and sent us on our way (with two guides) We did the tour on the same day as a big rain storm so many loris were tucked away and hiding. We hiked around with our guides for about an hour. Saw many sleepy birds, some bioluminescent insects, and a couple of unique nests, but no loris... until we did! We had all but given…”
