About this safari
The evening round suits guests who arrive in Yala in the morning or want a relaxed start to the day. We pick you up so you are at the gate by 2:00 PM.
As the heat drops, animals move back towards waterholes and open ground. Leopards often come out to the tracks again late in the afternoon, and the golden light before closing is beautiful for photos.
