Safari Bookings (Yala • Udawalawe • Minneriya • Kaudulla)

Get close to Sri Lanka’s wild side—safely and comfortably. Trustker arranges private jeep safaris with reliable drivers, timed for the best chance of sightings, with hotel pickup and drop-off.

Parks at a glance

  • Yala National Park (Block 1) – Highest chance of leopard encounters; also sloth bear, elephants, crocs, birds. Best with sunrise or afternoon drives. Base: Tissamaharama/Kataragama.

  • Udawalawe – Famous for large elephant herds, open grasslands, easy viewing year-round. Base: Udawalawe town.

  • Minneriya / Kaudulla – Known for “The Gathering” of wild elephants (typically Jul–Sep, varies). We pick the park (or Hurulu Eco Park) based on where elephants are that week. Base: Sigiriya/Dambulla/Habarana.

Wildlife is wild—sightings are not guaranteed. We time and plan to maximize your chances.
