Afternoon safaris usually run from about 2pm until the park closes at 6pm, and are often less crowded. Many operators also offer a full-day safari. Yala's main block usually closes for several weeks in the dry season, typically from September to mid-October, and the dates change each year, so check before you travel. Jeeps fill up in peak season, so book ahead and call the operator to confirm the pick-up time and what the price includes. Phone numbers are on each listing below.
