artYala Safaris

We at Funky Leopard Safari Hostel at Yala conduct professional safaris at Yala National Park, for our guests as an additional, separately paid service. The Yala Safari Jeeps, driven by experienced drivers leave at 5.30am and 2.30pm every day from the Funky Leopard Safari Hostel. We only offer Toyota Hilux or Mitsubishi L200 vehicles,  modified to carry 6 passengers.

You could either book an exclusive Yala safari package for you or your group up to 5 people or reserve a slot to be a part of a group up to 5 people under the standard Yala safari package.   

We offer a very transparent service inclusive of all costs, in order to let you enjoy your Safari and not get taken by surprise with unexpected charges. 

Generally there are 2 people who will be involved in making your Yala National Park Safari experience a success, namely the Driver and the Tracker. 

Whilst the driver is busy in keeping an eye on the dirt tracks, your tracker, provided to us by the Department of Wildlife Conservation, will be trying his best to spot / track the animals and the birds for you. 

Though certain trackers are good in their knowledge and language, please note that they are not wildlife guides. If you need to book a professional wildlife guide / naturalist ,it could be be possible on availability at an extra fee. Cost per safari for a such a wildlife guide / naturalist will range from 15-30 USD. 

Even if it's not guaranteed, we try our level best to have both (driver and tracker) in your jeep. However, there could be occasional situations where the Department of Wildlife Conservation is not able to give us a tracker. On such occasions, your driver will double up to do both roles. Please note that DWLC doesn't discount the entrance fees, even if they are not able to provide a Tracker.

Great stay in the jungle

"Staff is friendly, helpful, and easy to approach. The rooms are nice with ac, and a nice bathroom, and can chill with others on the large balcony. They give a warm welcome at the gate with a nice coconut drink. The location in the middle of the jungle is near Yala national park. I book a safari with them, with includes a tour guide, a nice breakfast, and ticket for myself, and worth it!"
