Yala
Journey inland to Yala, home to Sri Lanka’s most celebrated national park. Stay for two nights at The Warden’s House, a boutique retreat in a peaceful seven-acre estate near Sella Kararagama, with abundant birdlife and close to Block 5 of Yala, a lesser travelled area of the park. Experience morning and evening safaris – the park’s diverse landscapes of scrubland, forest and lagoon are home to elephants, crocodiles, sloth bears and a high density of leopards. With expert naturalists guiding you on private 4×4 drives, you will have the chance to spot some of the country’s most iconic wildlife before returning for dinner under the stars.

The rest of the day is free to explore further or relax.
