Double safari day Udawalawe & Yala
We did the double safari day and it was amazing! We had an early start with pick up at 4am from the Beruwala area but it was definitely worth it having seen elephants whilst the sun rose. Lunch was included at a restaurant between the two parks and all three drivers were amazing making sure we had everything we needed. We saw lots of different animals and our tour guides did everything they could to make sure of that! Would highly recommend if you’re looking to fit both parks in one day

An amazing day trip!
A lot is packed in to this long day and what an amazing trip! Our driver Pasidu picked us up at 4am and was very professional, polite and organised. We were very excited to see our first elephant at Udawalawe not realising that we would see many many elephants at both National Parks and at the orphan sanctuary. There were crocodiles, different species of monkey, water buffalo, deer, and a glimpse of a leopard! The knowledgeable guides pointed out these and a variety of birds including beautiful bee eaters. A highly recommended trip if you are short on time, a great experience!

Well worth it and exactly as promised.
This was a genuinely great trip to two different parks, each of which had its own feel. Lots of opportunity for both animal and bird spotting. Although it’s a long day, there’s time to sleep in the car and the experience as a whole was well worth it.

Highly recommended
We really wanted to visit both parks in the same day. We looked at several different companies offering this trip and we chose this one as the others had some less positive reviews which made me feel uneasy. Am so pleased we chose this one as it was a wonderful day. Within half an hour of booking I’d had a WhatsApp message providing me with all the information for the day and asking if I had any questions. I then received further messages the day prior to the trip to ensure I had all the information which was very reassuring. Our driver was amazing from start to finish, taking expert care of us. We were provided with water and asked regularly if we needed coffee or comfort stops. At both safari parks we had the safari trucks just for myself and my husband. We saw lots of different animals. The highlight for me was the baby elephant which came right up to our safari truck at Udawalawe. The safari truck driver went out of his way to ensure we saw as many animals, as up close as possible. Our trip included a picnic lunch which ended up being an unexpected 3 course meal at Reds restaurant. The staff were very friendly, the food was delicious and there were lots of options including vegetarian options. I would highly recommend this trip with this tour operator for a truly memorable and hassle free day.

Best day of our lives!!
This by far was the best day of our trip. Doing both safaris in one day is really great and convenient. They picked us up right from our hotel in Tangalle and arranged safari jeeps at both Yala and Udawalawe. Both parks are a must see. The company arranged a delicious lunch and made sure we saw everything in the parks. All 3 drivers were amazing. Highly, highly recommend. We also felt that his safari was done ethically. They didn’t crowd the animals and a park ranger was out there monitoring things as well. While we may have been close to the animals, they could turn around and walk away at any point. We thought they did a great job at respecting the animals. The only thing we wish we would have done differently was skipping the calf milk feeding and spending more time in the parks. Thank you for giving us an unforgettable experience!!

Why this scores 69
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
GO WILD! Double Safari Day Trip (Yala & Udawalawe) - Private & All Inclusive: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Negombo.
How much does GO WILD! Double Safari Day Trip (Yala & Udawalawe) - Private & All Inclusive cost?
+
Prices start at $210 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Negombo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does GO WILD! Double Safari Day Trip (Yala & Udawalawe) - Private & All Inclusive take?
+
Plan for about 13 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 Negombo is not rushed.
Is GO WILD! Double Safari Day Trip (Yala & Udawalawe) - Private & All Inclusive worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 27 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Negombo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule GO WILD! Double Safari Day Trip (Yala & Udawalawe) - Private & All Inclusive?
+
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 GO WILD! Double Safari Day Trip (Yala & Udawalawe) - Private & All Inclusive suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 13-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book GO WILD! Double Safari Day Trip (Yala & Udawalawe) - Private & All Inclusive?
+
Around 9 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 Negombo 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 Negombo and add a light layer if any part of the 13-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does GO WILD! Double Safari Day Trip (Yala & Udawalawe) - Private & All Inclusive 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 Negombo 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 Negombo?
+
On Outty we rank every Negombo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Car & Driver for 07 Days Tour In Sri Lanka, Most Popular Round Tour in Sri Lanka (10 Days), Highly recommended multi day tour in Sri Lanka. 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 Negombo?
+
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 Negombo?
+
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?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
