Ella to Galle Shuttle & Yala Safari Drive with Breakfast
Description
Leave Ella behind and journey to the coast through the wilderness of Yala Block 5 and Lunugamvehera National Park, where misty lakes and distant mountains cradle the wild. Far from the crowded trails of Yala Block 1, this peaceful route reveals nature’s rhythm as leopards roam freely, elephants bathe in still waters, and birds echo across forest. The adventure begins with pickup from Ella, and traveling through scenic countryside to Lunugamvehera, where open lakes and forest edges create perfect habitats. Continue into Yala Block 5, with safaris offered at sunrise, morning, and afternoon—each revealing a different mood of the wild. Guided by a wildlife expert. Enjoy a packed homemade breakfast or evening snack. On private or sunrise safaris, receive a signature wildlife photo collection captured by our crew — complimentary. Seamless transfer continues to Galle, Mirissa, Dickwella, Tangalle, or any southern coastal town, completing a journey where comfort, discovery and nature meet.

Itinerary
The heart of this safari — Yala Block 5 — is renowned for its serene landscapes and rare leopard sightings. Here, wildlife moves freely without the disturbance of heavy tourist traffic. Fewer jeeps mean a truly personal experience, where every sighting — from a prowling leopard to a grazing elephant — feels intimate and special.
A connecting sanctuary between Yala and Udawalawe, Lunugamvehera National Park features shimmering lakes and dry forests that attract elephants, crocodiles, and birds. It’s a peaceful haven for wildlife safari sri lanka enthusiasts and one of the best locations for photography.

Excellent tour from Colombo to Trinco. Delicious traditional meal with very friendly locals. Amazing safari experience with loads of elephants. Cool boat tour. Friendly driver who was very patient and flexible with pickup and drop off.
If you are in srilanka, you know where to book ! I have a amazing experience with them for transfers , reached before time & well spoke english driver & good comfortable ride ! 5 star !
We had a great time! The transfer was super smooth, the driver arrived to Ella on the dot. In Thanamalwila we switched to a jeep who drove us around Yala for 5 hours. He had eagle eyes, showed us many animals and most of the time we were in the park on our own! The packed lunch in the middle was good too and after the safari our original driver waited for us and drove us to our hotel in the south. The communication with the organizer was smooth and effective as well. All in all, great experience and highly recommend!
We had the best time, the view was stunning and the driver/guide very knowledgeable and kind. They're really flexible for the pick up and dropping location, we started in hiriketiya and they dropped us at Ella. I recommend !
Our Yala Safari experience was absolutely amazing! We were surrounded by stunning landscapes and had the chance to see incredible wildlife up close. The guide was knowledgeable and made the whole trip even more enjoyable. It was a perfect blend of adventure and natural beauty—highly recommended!
The whole experience was amazing, our tour guides were super knowledgeable and customized the trip to our preferences. We had an amazing time and everyone from the driver of the taxi to the safari guide was amazing! The whole trip took around 9 hours. It was just the 3 of us family members and I would recommend it to everyone :)
