Ask us anything about Yala.
WhatsApp is the best way to reach us. Prasanna replies personally, usually within a few hours.
How it works
No forms. No automated replies. Just a conversation.
There is no booking system here. No payment portal. No agency managing the calendar. When you send a message, you are talking directly with the person who will actually guide you.
Send your dates, group size, and what you are hoping to see. Prasanna replies personally, usually within a few hours, and will be honest about whether Block 5 or Block 6 suits your goals.

Fine for initial enquiries. We typically reply within 24 hours, though WhatsApp is faster and easier for a back-and-forth conversation.
yalaethicalsafari@gmail.comWhat to include
What helps when you first message
You do not need to have everything figured out. But a few things make the conversation more useful:
-
Your dates or preferred period Flexibility helps, but even a rough month lets us advise on conditions and availability.
-
Group size How many people, and whether the group includes children.
-
What you are hoping to see Be honest. If a leopard is your main goal, say so. That conversation is more useful than finding out after the safari.
-
Half day, full day, or photography If you have a preference, mention it. If you are unsure, just ask.
Where we are based
We operate exclusively inside Yala National Park Block 5 and Block 6, located in the southern tip of Sri Lanka near Thanamalvila and Kataragama. The park gates for these blocks are different from the main entrance to Block 1. We will tell you exactly where to meet and at what time when you book.
