Yala 4-hour safari from Mirissa or Weligama in a 4x4, then drop in Ella, with air-conditioned comfort and wildlife spotting.

“We got picked up on time for the Safari at Yalla Nationalpark. We got water, vanilla milk and egg hoppers (some people of our group dont eat eggs, so they had nothing) on the way. the drive was a little bit chaotic as we stopped a few times during the drive without any imformations. the safari itself lasted around 5 hours. Even though it was raining we were lucky enough to spot elephants, buffalos, peacock, varans, deer and lots of different birds. after the safari we were driven to our accomodation in Ella. on the way we stopped at a restaurant and a nice waterfall.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 8 reviews · from $31

Transfer from Ella to the coast with a Yala National Park safari stop. Door-to-door pickup, open-jeep wildlife spotting, 3 hours in Yala.

“There are no questions about the transfer. But the safari was terrible. I was on another jeep safari - to Khurulu and it was like night and day. And it's not that the weather got bad and there were no animals - it happens. But the jeep driver is inexperienced, he didn't stop when he should have and he stopped when he shouldn't and where he shouldn't.

7.Mirissa/Galle/Hikkaduwa: Transfer to Ella & Udawalawa Safari

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 3 reviews · 8 hours · from $48

Door-to-door transfer from the south to Ella plus an Udawalawe jeep safari, timed for wildlife and comfort in an air-conditioned vehicle.

“Amazing trip. Driver was perfectly on time and very professional. The safari guide Pathum has been wonderful and we were alone in the jeep so the experience was really incredible. Loved it! Ps: I recommend choosing Udawalawe for your safari, it’s a truly authentic experience (while in Yala, for example, the jeeps queue all together and it’s a big mess).”
