The experience
A place to make time for
Yala National Park protects a large south-eastern landscape of dry forest, scrub, grassland, freshwater and coastal wetlands. Visitors explore designated blocks by vehicle, with access depending on the chosen gate and current conservation conditions. The park supports diverse wildlife, but sightings are never guaranteed; remain on authorised tracks and follow wildlife officers’ instructions.
