A tailored day, arranged jeep by jeep.
Luxury Safari
A luxury safari is arranged individually: an upgraded vehicle, tickets bought in advance, a private naturalist and a set lunch. It has no published price — tell us what you want and we will quote it.
- Arranged with you
- Agreed with you
- 4x4 jeep, up to 6 guests
- Included
Some requests do not fit a price list: an upgraded vehicle, a second jeep for camera gear, a bush breakfast, entrance tickets bought in advance so you never queue, a chilled box brought from town.
We arrange these one at a time. Send us the date, the group and what matters most, and we will come back with a written quote — never a guess and never a surprise on the day.

Questions
About this safari
01Are park tickets included in the price?
On our own Yala and Bundala jeep safaris the tickets are not included: your payment covers the jeep, driver and guide only, and you buy the park entrance ticket separately, which is about US$43 per foreign adult in Yala. Our Viator listings with tickets included are priced differently and say so.
02How many people fit in a safari jeep?
Six. One jeep carries up to 6 guests, and a private jeep costs the same whether there are two of you or six. For 7 or more people message us on WhatsApp and we will arrange extra jeeps.
03What should I bring on safari?
Bring a hat, sunscreen, a light jacket for the cold early start, a camera and your passport, which is needed when the entrance tickets are bought. We supply drinking water in a cool box, and binoculars are provided on the Viator tours.
04How do I pay?
You can pay online by PayPal or card when you book, or by bank transfer once we have confirmed your booking. If we cannot run your date, an online payment is refunded in full. The park entrance fee is paid separately, and we will tell you the current amount when we confirm.
05What is your cancellation policy?
Cancel 24 hours or more before the start time and you get a full refund; inside 24 hours there is no refund. If a safari has to be cancelled for bad weather, you choose between a new date and a full refund.
