This tailor-made four-night package, is full of specially curated, guided experiences so that you can discover the best of Yala’s wildlife, history, and local culture in and around Wild Coast Tented Lodge in unmatched depth and detail.
Our special Discovery Package is the best way to explore the most unique experiences in and around Yala National Park.
The package includes expertly guided private safaris, where our rangers passionately share the biodiversity of Yala National Park in the privacy of your own vehicle. On game drives, you will see first-hand how they interpret nature with skill and detail, from deciphering the jungle telegraph to track a leopard to analyzing and describing the subtle yet complex social behavior of a herd of elephants. Our rangers also love finding and describing smaller mammals, birds, and critters in a way that brings the forest to life as a complete, magical ecosystem.
Spend a morning at a bundala national park with your ranger and learn the art of identifying birds, their behavior and calls, as well as their migration patterns to gain an appreciation for how complex yet entertaining “birding” can be.
Our guided nature walk offers a totally different take on observing the wilderness. The walk will offer an an introduction into the age-old art of bush craft – of interpreting tracks and signs of the jungle, such as animal footprints and droppings, to tuning your ear to the crack of a branch nearby that indicates you’re not alone.
Sithulpawwa is an ancient Buddhist monastery hidden deep in the jungle, atop a rocky outcrop. Surrounded by the wilderness of the Yala National Park, the monastery has an enchanting sense of tranquility. It also connects visitors to the past where ancient civilizations treated the jungle as a refuge for meditation and introspection.
