  • Yala National Park - Embark on a thrilling wilderness adventure into YALA National Park, home to the world’s most concentrated population of leopards!

The Sri Lankan leopard is a subspecies native to Sri Lanka. YALA is home to around a hundred individual leopards.

We aim to be in YALA National Park during the first two hours of the day (6 to 8 a.m.) and the last two hours of the day (4 to 6 p.m.). Wildlife enthusiasts refer to these times as the “Golden Hours,” offering the highest chance of spotting the elusive Sri Lankan leopards. On a Full-Day safari, you will be in YALA during both these times, observing the wild.

Great experience at Yala NP - Our guide and driver Darshana from Ajith tours did an amazing job in Yala NP. We saw leopards and many elephants and other animals. Darshana is a very pleasant and lovely person. Great to be around. He respects and loves the wildlife and likes to share his passion for it. I would recommend Ajith and Darshana to you without any doubt. We had a fantastic experience.

Yala national park with Darshana - We had a great time. Our guide Darshana knew the right spots and has a animal focused attitude. He talks about the animals with a lot of passion and treats them with respect! The trip was certainly a highlight of our trip!

Yala NP - Dharshana was a great guide. He didn't race through Yala and respected the wildlife. We saw so much diversity in wildlife and definitely had a fantastic day

A magical and memorable safari with a guide who really knows about animals and the park - Outstanding safari simply because we had Darshana as our guide. He spoke excellent English so we could fully understand all his information. He was warm, friendly and very knowledgeable. His true passion for animals was very clear and his determination was incredible. We saw a variety of small and large birds, crocodiles, elephants from very close but he always had the animals interest first so we were able to see very closely without stressing them. He never gave up after a long day and we saw a Leopard sitting on the road after his amazing detective work of paw prints.

Fantastic tour & great leopard spotting! - Amazing Tour through Yala national Park! We did see leopards 2 times, once even walking directly behind our car. Thanks to our driver Nakala for his fast (agressive - in a good way!) driving skills so we managed to see all the leopards. He really put a lot of effort into showing us the animals. We really enjoyed our time and can highly recommend Nakala & Aijith Safari!

Had 2 fantastic full days. - We had a great 2 days with our driver Kasun. Very polite, he was on time every day and we were at the front both times to enter the park in the morning. He helped us tremendously to see as many of the animals as possible and we succeeded with almost all the animals. And the food at lunch was very tasty.

Very satisfying full-day safari - The driver and guide Darshana was very conscientious and kind. He took me to see elephants, leopards, peacocks, buffaloes, wild boars, black-faced monkeys, monitor lizards, several kinds of deer and many kinds of birds. He worked hard to help me find animals. I am very satisfied with this safari. Yala National Park is indeed an animal paradise.
