Yala National Park Afternoon Safari — Sunset Wildlife Experience

The afternoon safari at Yala National Park is a beautiful alternative to the early morning tours. Departing at 2:30 PM from your Tissamaharama hotel, you enter the park as the
midday heat fades and animals become active again.

The late afternoon light is magical for photography — golden and warm, perfect for capturing elephants at waterholes and peacocks displaying in open grassland.

What to expect on the afternoon safari:
🐘 Elephant herds gathering at waterholes
🦚 Peacocks and birds in open terrain
🐊 Crocodiles sunning at lagoon edges
🌅 Stunning sunset over Yala’s landscape
🐆 Leopard sightings possible (less frequent than dawn)

Tour times: Pick-up 2:30 PM → Return ~6:45 PM
Includes: Toyota Hilux jeep, park tickets, guide

 Verified Want to see a leopard. Then must use this tour company. The best! We had an amazing time on our safari. Menaka knows where to go find the animals and his spotting of them is amazing. He saw a leopard other jeeps passed by. He gets you right to the action. We saw the leopard, elephants, deer, crocodiles, all kinds of birds, monkeys and more. He is very kind, knowledgeable and communicates very well.

 Verified Incroyable journée à Yala National Park Merci à Tharindu pour cette journée exceptionnelle. Une journée complète super bien organisée, pas d’attente le matin pour les tickets. Nous avons eu la chance de voir tous les animaux du parc Ours, léopards, éléphants, biches, crocodiles. Un chauffeur agile et réactif qui a mis toutes les chances de notre côté. Le déjeuner en face de la mer était aussi excellent. Je recommande vivement.
