“For us the whole was a Great experience. We got picked up in Ella on time at our hotel, then the trip to Yala was good. The driver was very careful and not driving like crazy. The safari (afternoon) was great as we saw so many elephants, crocodiles, deer, birds, and even a leopard from very far though. You must know that no one can guarantee that you will see animals. The drivers communicate with other ones and try to get people see animals but that’s up to the nature. We got fresh always when arriving at the park and had a short stop for wc and drinks. The return…”

Review of the Ella to Yala safari transfer, with leopard sightings, a four-hour jeep safari, costs, timing, and beach drop-offs.
“In general it was good- I booked the 11am slot which we did end up leaving at 11.40 not too sure why- so we got there for around 1.45 and the safari was about 4 hours- the tour guide was good the park was just very busy with other jeeps and we queued for nearly an hour because it was so busy, to see a cheetah which I didn’t see probably because everyone scared it off! I think we saw about 4 elephants, some peacocks and buffalo’s so not as many animals as I was anticipating. At the beginning of the tour I realised I had lost my wallet- which…”

“The morning safari was excellent. It wasn’t clear that you had to pay entrance fees for all the places to visit so didn’t do the second safari. The elephant orphanage was interesting and was great to see they are being looked after well. Lunch was tasty but thought it was going to be a picnic lunch. The driver was very good.”
Pick a park, a ruin, a kitchen or a stretch of coast.
