One of the most common questions we get from first-time visitors is why the park entrance ticket isn't automatically bundled into the safari price. Here's a quick explainer.
Entrance fees for Yala and Sri Lanka's other national parks are set by the Department of Wildlife Conservation, not by individual safari operators. Rates can change and vary by park, which is why we show the entrance ticket as its own line item rather than folding it into a fixed package price.
When you book with us, you'll see the entrance ticket clearly listed as an optional add-on or a separate cost, depending on the package you select. That way, the total you see before checkout always reflects exactly what you're paying for.

Small-group safaris, expert local drivers, and memories that last a lifetime. Begin your journey with us and step away from the beaten territories to uncover the wildlife hidden beneath the clichés. Whether it's your first leopard sighting or your fifth trip back to Yala, our drivers bring decades of local tracking knowledge to every drive, so you leave with more than photos, you leave with a story worth telling. From the dry-zone scrub of Yala to the wetlands of Bundala and the open plains of Udawalawe, every itinerary is paced around the moment rather than the clock, so nothing about the wild ever feels rushed. Each safari runs in a comfortable open 4x4 jeep with a small group size, flexible pickup from your hotel or villa, and a driver who knows every waterhole, trail and favourite leopard perch by heart, so you can simply sit back, watch, and let Sri Lanka's wilderness reveal itself.
