Wonderful experience!
Very intersting esperience among the wonderdul landscapes of Yala national park. We have seen many animals, such as elephants, crocodiles, jackals, water buffalos, monitors, a lot of birds and finally the leopard (in the last 5 minutes of the safari). Isara, the driver, is a kind person and an experienced driver, with strong knowledge of the park and its animals.

no complaints!!
we did a full day safari tour and had no complaints at all! the guide was very helpful and picked us up to bring us to the hotel the night before. The safari was relatively cheap compared to other companies and service excellent.

Great experience!
Asanka did a great job. He drove carefully, but when there was something important to see, he knew how to get the best spot. The car was very comfortable, and the lunch was delicious. We stayed at Blue Birds Tissa & Yala, from where the whole safari experience was organized seamlessly. Highly recommended

Amazing experience
We did the full-day safari and it was an amazing experience! The driver drove us around a lot of different areas to show and explain us a lot about the different animals with all his heart. We saw the Leopards, Elephants, Crocodiles, Mongus, Lizards, Buffalos, Rabbits, Deers and lots of different Birds. Also we had a delicious lunch with a great view of the sea. The driving was also very safe. I can highly recommend this Tour!

Why this scores 77
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Full day Safari Yala National park (04.40am - 06.30pm): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yala National Park.
How much does Full day Safari Yala National park (04.40am - 06.30pm) cost?
+
Prices start at $44 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yala National Park usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Full day Safari Yala National park (04.40am - 06.30pm) take?
+
Plan for about 12.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Yala National Park is not rushed.
Is Full day Safari Yala National park (04.40am - 06.30pm) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Yala National Park, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Full day Safari Yala National park (04.40am - 06.30pm)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Full day Safari Yala National park (04.40am - 06.30pm) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 12.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Full day Safari Yala National park (04.40am - 06.30pm)?
+
Around 8 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Yala National Park can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Yala National Park and add a light layer if any part of the 12.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Full day Safari Yala National park (04.40am - 06.30pm) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Yala National Park within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Yala National Park?
+
On Outty we rank every Yala National Park experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full day Safari - Yala National Park - 04.30 am to 06.00 pm with - Janaka safari, Special leopard & Elephants safari - Yala - 04.30 am to 11.30 am, Full day / Half Day WildlifeAdventure in Yala-National-Park. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Yala National Park?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Yala National Park?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
