We have received the following advice:
“We would like to bring to your notice that, as per the Department of Wildlife, Yala National Park will be closed to visitors between 1st to 30th September.
The annual park closure was put on hold for a few years in the recent past due to various influences, but we believe that it’s a welcome decision to have an undisturbed park at least for a month during the drought.”

"Cyril was our driver and guide for the last nine days. We had the comfortable white Toyota van shown in the pic - it was just as clean and shiny, and not a scratch on it. He is clearly a very skilled driver. He is particularly knowledgeable about the history of the many places we visited. We were pleased we had Cyril as our driver. He had been recommended to us by an acquaintance. Andrew Speirs Melbourne, Australia Travel period 04 Jan - 12 Jan 2018" Mr. Andrew an Mrs. Suzy Speirs from Australia

Familiar with every corner of this beautiful island and we have managed to produce a great 17 days. Prices respect as well - we tested three competing proposals and was the cheapest.
