3 Days Safari to Galle, Udawalawa and Yala Parks from Ella

This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Ravana Ella Falls, Ella-Wellawaya Road, Ella 90090 Sri Lanka

The first stop on this day trip will be a short break for taking photos at the Lower Ravana Falls, which are picturesquely located within the famous Ella Gap.

Stop At: Buduruwagala Temple, Wellawaya Town, Wellawaya 91200 Sri Lanka

Buduruwagala has both the island's tallest statue and the largest group of ancient Buddhist sculptures carved into the rock. Remarkably, the statues are Mahayanistic and indicate even Tantric influence.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Udawalawe National Park Sri Lanka

In the afternoon, you will take part in a jeep safari in Udawalawe National Park, which is famous for the density of wild elephants. In each and every season visitors will spot small groups of cow elephants with babies and juveniles and some lonesome bull elephants.

After the safari, you will be dropped off near the park at the accomodation you have booked separately according to your preferences.

Alternatively, you can decide to travel to Yala this very same evening, just in case you like you have booked your accommodation in or near Tissa, allowing you to start in Yala earlier in the morning the next day.

Duration: 3 minutes

Stop At: Yala National Park Sri Lanka

In case of an overnight stay in Udawalawe, the transfer to Yala is in the morning. After relaxation and lunch, you will take part in another and completely different jeep safari.

Yala is Sri Lanka's most celebrated national park. Chances to observe wild leopards are higher than anywhere else in the world, about 30-50% chance during an afternoon safari. On the entire island, this is the area richest in biodiversity. This is due to a variety of landscapes such as dense jungles, large swamps, open grasslands, sandy coastlines, and steep rocks. The density in leopards and crocodiles and deer is extremely high in Yala Block 1, which will be crossed on this jeep safari. Yala is also noteworthy for its birdlife. After your safari you will be transferred to the hotel or guesthouse of your choice in the area of Yala, Tissa, or Kirinda.

In case of an overnight stay in Yala (instead of Udawalawe), your morning in Yala is free for relaxation.

The driver will give you the details (meeting point and time) on arrival at your hotel (in the evening after Udawalawe safari).

Alternatively, you would have different opportunities to spend your time for additional activities. Please note, that these optional excursions are not included in the price and that you have to organize them on your own. However, our driver can provide assistance or on your request even arrange the detour of your choice.

Here are some proposals how to use the morning for further activities:

1. You could relax at Kirinda Beach. It's not far from Yala.

2. You could visit the Wirawila Tissa Sanctuary, which is rich in birdlife due to its numerous lakes.

3. You could study the ancient ruins of Tissamaharama, which was once the capital of southern Sri Lanka, then known as Rohana.

4. You could visit the pilgrimage sites of Kataragama.

5. You could see the ruins of Situlpahuwa in the jungles of Yala.

6. You could join a morning safari in Bundala National Park, which is famous for birdwatching.

7. You could take part in a morning safari in Yala. You have an afternoon safari anyway. But a full day on safari in Yala would increase your chances to spot leopards to above 50%.
