Evening Safari at Yala National Park
Meet your driver at the agreed-upon location in Negombo and drive to Yala National Park.
Embark on an evening safari in Yala National Park, a protected area of nearly 130,000 hectares divided into five blocks. Only two blocks are open to the public, while the rest function strictly as nature reserves.
Be enthralled by the 215 bird species living in the park, including the endemic Ceylon Jungle Fowl, Brown-capped Babbler, Ceylon Woodshrike, and Ceylon Swallow. You may even catch a glimpse of their nests in Palu, Satinwood, Weera, Maila, Mustard, and Woodapple trees.
From tropical rainforests to mangrove swamps, the habitats of the park's other wildlife are wide and varied. These include 44 mammal species, 47 reptile species, 18 amphibian species, and various other invertebrates. The park's most famous residents are elephants, sloth bears, sambar, jackals, spotted deer, peacocks, crocodiles, and the elusive leopard.
Head back to your hotel in Negombo.
