Our Yala safari tour Sri Lanka package is an 8-day, 7-night journey built for travelers who want the island's wildest side. Nature & Wildlife Explorer takes you from a rainforest trek in Sinharaja to an elephant-spotting jeep safari in Udawalawe, then to Yala National Park — home to one of the highest leopard densities on Earth — before climbing into the cool tea country of Nuwara Eliya and finishing with beach relaxation in Bentota. It's our most complete wildlife safari tour Sri Lanka has to offer, priced from US $679 with private transport and hotels included throughout.
