Amazing experience!
Our guide Sumudu was absolutely delightful! We couldn’t have asked for a better guide who is very knowledgeable, engaging, and friendly. We saw so many cool animals, really enjoyed the tour. Thanks Sumudu!! 1000% recommended. Please go with Sumudu

Don’t miss this Safari
Safari in Block 5 & 6 was incredible. Sumudu was by far the best guide we had on our trip. Sumudu is incredibly skilled and knowledgeable about the wildlife, guiding runs in his family; Yala is where he grew up. His passion and enthusiasm for nature and wildlife was inspiring. This safari made our trip in Sri Lanka. Block 5 & 6 was a much better experience for us compared to Block 1. You feel more connected to nature - we only saw three other cars on our afternoon tour (in September). The landscapes were very beautiful! The vehicle was also modern and comfortable with cold water.

Awesome half day Safari with great guide
We had an awesome half day Safari trip. Pick up was direktly at our hotel. The guide was very friendly, showed us the besutiful nature and anilmals of Yala - we were very lucky to see a leopard as well as krokodiles, many beautiful birds, deers, monkeys, eagles and elefants. The guide shared his knowledge and at the end of the day he even sent us the photos he took with his high quality camera. All in all an abolute highlight we would recommend!

Brilliant half day tour, great driver
Amazing experience, driver Mahesh was very knowledgeable and friendly. Saw plenty of wildlife including a leopard, elephant and baby crocodile! Very good value and lovely breakfast too
via Tripadvisor
Great afternoon tour!
We took the 2 pm tour and really enjoyed it. The driver has shared with us lots of interesting information about the park and the animals. We also loved the hidden backroads where he drove us due to that we could really emerge in nature:) At the end of our tour we were lucky enough to see 3 leopards!

YALA BLOCK 5 & 6 (Weheragala & Lunugamwehera) Safari Tours: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yala National Park.
How much does YALA BLOCK 5 & 6 (Weheragala & Lunugamwehera) Safari Tours cost?
+
Prices start at $36 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 YALA BLOCK 5 & 6 (Weheragala & Lunugamwehera) Safari Tours take?
+
Plan for about 5 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 YALA BLOCK 5 & 6 (Weheragala & Lunugamwehera) Safari Tours worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 19 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 YALA BLOCK 5 & 6 (Weheragala & Lunugamwehera) Safari Tours?
+
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 YALA BLOCK 5 & 6 (Weheragala & Lunugamwehera) Safari Tours suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book YALA BLOCK 5 & 6 (Weheragala & Lunugamwehera) Safari Tours?
+
Around 7 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does YALA BLOCK 5 & 6 (Weheragala & Lunugamwehera) Safari Tours 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?
+
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.
