Yala National Park Safari Shared Tour from Hambantota Port

No, not on the Yala, Yala Block 5 & 6 and Bundala jeep safaris: park entrance fees are paid on site, about US$43 per foreign adult in Yala. On the Yala tours you can pre-pay the tickets when you book (US$43 per adult, US$22 per child) and we buy them at the gate. The Yala private jeep safari with entrance tickets (from US$140 for 2 people, 4 hours) and the two shore excursions from Hambantota Port do include the park entrance.

Six. One jeep carries up to 6 passengers, and a private jeep costs the same whether there is one of you or six (the private safari with entrance tickets is priced by group size, 2 to 6 people). Shared safaris are booked for 2 to 6 people. For 7 or more people message us on WhatsApp and we will arrange extra jeeps.

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.

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.

Yes. We run two shared shore excursions from Hambantota Port: Yala National Park at US$70 per person with the Yala entrance ticket included, and Udawalawe with the Elephant Transit Home at US$80 per person with the safari jeep and entrance fee included.
