Yala National Park tours from Ella
From Ella, in the hill country, Yala is about two hours down to the plains, and tours usually run as a transfer with a safari on the way to the south coast, which saves a day. The alternative is a very early start for the morning drive and a return to Ella. Check which gate is used, Katagamuwa is closer from Ella than Palatupana, and whether the park entrance fee and the jeep are both included.
