About
Not only do you have the best chance of seeing a Sri Lankan leopard, but you also have a very high chance of seeing elephants. We went during a period of time that Yala national park was experiencing a mini-drought. This meant that the elephants were further inside the park around the permanent lakes and not need the main roads. Even then, we still managed to spot a lone male grazing in amongst the trees. If you go to Yala when there are not experiencing a drought then you will certainly see herds of elephants roaming around the park in plain sight.

About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- shahonm0 contributionsA Cozy Couple's Retreat at La Safari InnMy name is Shahon Melsh, and I’m from the UK. My wife and I stayed at La Safari Inn in Tissamaharama during the first weekend of August, and we were thoroughly impressed with our experience. The AC room we booked was clean, spacious, and very comfortable—just what we needed for a relaxing getaway. The ambiance was perfect for couples, with a cozy bed and excellent air conditioning that provided a much-needed respite from the Sri Lankan heat. The hospitality at La Safari Inn was outstanding. The staff were incredibly welcoming and went out of their way to ensure our stay was enjoyable. They were always available to assist with any requests, making us feel right at home. The inn’s proximity to Yala National Park made it an ideal location for our weekend adventure. On Saturday, we participated in a safari organized by the inn. The experience was nothing short of amazing, with a well-planned tour that allowed us to see a wide variety of wildlife, including elephants and leopards. After a long day at the park, returning to our comfortable room felt like a true blessing. La Safari Inn is a great choice for couples looking to explore Yala and enjoy a peaceful stay.Written August 31, 2024

- Sabaratnam M0 contributionsGreat place to stay for Yala SafariLa Safari Inn is situated in a lovely area surrounded by nature. We were welcomed by the owners with a smile. Very polite and kind people. They looked after us, always asking whether we need anything. The room was large and spacious. We rented a room with 3 separate beds. Very clean and tidy. Shower was good. We had tasty Sri Lankan dinner, they have a menu which will also cater for guests who do not want local food.. Breakfast was good. Tea and Coffee, fruits, egg and toast. We booked a full day safari with the owners. Our driver Sajith was excellent. We were not lucky enough to see a leopard(although we saw one at a long distance and up on a tree, it was not very clear).I Our safari included breakfast, lunch and water. Safari price was very competitive compared to other operators in the area. When we were leaving, the lady owner asked us to wait and brought us water bottles to take on our onward journey to Ella. Very kind gesture. Overall, we had an enjoyable and pleasant stay. We would recommend La Safari Inn.Written February 16, 2024
- Seaside5689490 contributionsGreat place to stay in TissamaharamaThis is a well located guesthouse - close to the main attractions of Tissa and to the Palatupana entrance to Yala, in the middle of an amazing jungle and good looking rice fields. Birds and monkeys everywhere. We had a great short stay at La Safari Inn. Our room was basic but very clean and equipped with everything we needed. We loved the fan, the mosquito net and the electric generator. Hot water was great too. Food was tasty, we had some breakfasts and dinners at the guesthouse and were very satisfied. Above all we enjoyed the company and generous hospitality of owners and staff. Very nice, friendly and helpful people. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy Tissamaharama, go on a safari in Yala or explore amazing surroundings such as Kataragama, Kirinda etc. The guesthouse owners are happy to arrange safari trips and amazing transfers for their guests.Written February 5, 2024
- Ana P0 contributionsAffordable rooms hosted by lovely familyWe only stayed one night but everything was great. The room was clean and with everything we needed. The area is quiet and perfect to relax. The host family is soooo friendly, they want to make sure you have the best stay possible. In the end they offered us water, mangos and coconuts. Thank you so much for you kindness!!! I would recommend La safari inn 100%.Written September 26, 2023
- 930chandania0 contributionsGreat place for safariWe stayed at La Safari Inn for one day and our room was very clean and comfortable. The accommodation was located in a quiet environment. We went to Kirinda and Kataragama in our car and these places are only half an hour away. We did a morning safari with them and their jeep was comfortable and the driver was very efficient and showed us all the animals. It is very nice safari. The staff treated us very well and kindly. A very good place. We hope to return.Written June 19, 2023
- Demian W0 contributionsThe best place in this area also for the Yala Safari tourWe highly highly (!) recommend this place - as a hotel & safari tour. It’s a family owned hotel from the boss (the lady), her husband and son - they are always around and super supportive. I had regular contact with them before through WhatsApp. They organized for us the private whole day Yala safari tour (5am-6pm) for a great price (a MUST do which was fantastic with the Jeep driver Prisana - only do the tour with them see also below), and also taxi drivers for a great price). We had the big double room with A/C and warm water. It can be easily 4stars from a SouthEast-Asia standpoint. Rooms are a great size, bed is very comfy, bathroom is also great size. It’s very clean. The overall hotel looks really nice, in the middle of the jungle, with lots of birds etc around, nice veranda on the ground & second floor. Restaurant is also running by the family. Awesome food (best Kottu in Sri Lanka) and it was also cheap. You can spend there easily 2-3 days when you do 1-2 safari tours down there. Payment only in cash. I wouldn’t look for another hotel & safari tour! :) La Safari Inn Hotel organized for us the whole day safari tour with the Jeep driver Prisala (hope I write the name correct :)) which was fantastic. We had really the feeling that he tried to provide us the best experience we can get. We saw many many elephants incl groups of elephants, 2 leopards, many crocodiles, birds etc.) price was also good. Food was fantastic which was prepared by the hotel La Safari Inn. I would only book the tour with La Safari Inn if you are down there. You can also do half day tours. But we had the feeling that after lunch (there is a break from 12-2pm and nobody can drive through the park in that time) that you see many more animals incl elephants in the afternoon.Written April 9, 2023

- Ted S0 contributionsWonderful 2 night stayThe hosts were very lovely, and made the visit so easy. I had several safari's set up at good prices to both Yala and nearby Bundala National Parks. I had been provided quotes from other sources as well, so am glad to report they were fairly priced here. The food was fantastic as well - loved the Sri Lankan breakfast! My room was super large and comfortable - one of the best deals I had on my trip.Written December 28, 2022

- carlosmB1455LB0 contributionsExcellent stayIt was amazing. The people from the hotel are really friendly and helped us out figuring everything needed for a safari. They even helped me out to get a king coconut tree that I wanted to take back to my home country.Written December 19, 2022
