Kulu Safaris - Yala

Immersive Wildlife Encounters in Yala National Park

Nestled within the boundaries of Sri Lanka's renowned Yala National Park, Kulu Safaris offers a unique way to experience the island's diverse wildlife.

Ditch the traditional hotel room and opt for luxurious comfort in their spacious tented suites. Imagine falling asleep to the sounds of the jungle after a day of thrilling wildlife encounters.

Kulu Safaris specialises in guided wildlife safaris through the park, led by experienced naturalists who will help you spot elephants, leopards, bears, and a vast array of birdlife. You can also go kayaking on a nearby lake or explore the surrounding jungle on foot.

Ideal for Wildlife Filming:

• Prime Location: Yala National Park boasts a high concentration of wildlife, increasing your chances of capturing spectacular footage.

• Quiet and Unobtrusive Camps: The tented accommodation minimises disruption to the natural environment, allowing for more natural animal behaviour.

The work with world-class documentary teams has been one of Kulu’s great achievements. The list includes production houses such as National Geographic, Disney Nature, Travel & Living, and the BBC Natural History Unit.  The team at Kulu have also had the pleasure of working with some leading personalities in wildlife and videography, including Mark Linfield and Alastair Fothergill (producer and directors of Monkey Kingdom, respectively), Mike Birkhead (during the production of Wild Sri Lanka), famous photojournalist Steve Winter, and Toby Sinclair – wildlife specialist.

Location: Located near the Katagamuwa entrance to Yala Block 1 (which is the quieter entrance) and is set right in front of the Kochchipathana Lake, which offers a picturesque sight and wildlife sightings are absolutely fantastic.

The campsite is located approximately 293 Km (4 hour drive) away from the Bandaranaike International Airport and approximately 287 Km from Colombo.
