Yala Wild Safaris - consist of well trained, English speaking naturalists who drive the six seater luxury jeeps which capable of going in dust roads, Rock or Mud. We highly value sharing of jeeps. That will reduce the number of vehicles in the park. No middle seats. Everybody get window seats. But if you are here specially for Photography or Bird Watching we prefer you select a Private Tour Option. Pickup and Drop off free of charge from any hotel in Tissa, Kirinda, Weerawila, Kataragama & Yala Area. "Our Main objective is to give you the experience of Wild without much human interaction".
