2 Day Sri Lanka Private Tour – Ella, Kandy & Udawalawa Safari | Airport Drop

Tour Overview

Experience an unforgettable 2-day journey through Sri Lanka’s wildlife, hill country and cultural capital. On day one, visit the Udawalawa Elephant Transit Home before heading to Ella to explore Nine Arch Bridge, Little Adam’s Peak, Flying Ravana and Ravana Falls. On day two, travel through the scenic hills to Ramboda Falls and Ambuluwawa Tower before discovering the sacred Temple of the Tooth in Kandy and Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage. This private tour ends conveniently at the airport or your hotel.

Combine Ella's misty ridges with a Yala leopard safari in just two private days the classic hill-country-to-wildlife pairing without a full-week itinerary. Day one explores Nine Arches Bridge, Little Adam's Peak, optional Flying Ravana zip-lining and Ravana Falls, with half-board accommodation near Ella Gap. Day two descends to Yala National Park for a morning 4x4 jeep safari among elephants, crocodiles and with luck leopards, then revisits Ravana Falls from the low-country side before your onward transfer. Sundown Tours aligns safari entry times and train viewpoints while your English-speaking driver navigates the steep Ella–Yala road in a private air-conditioned vehicle with unlimited mileage. Park jeep hire and entrance fees are paid locally so you can extend the safari or add a beach drop on the south coast.

Tour Highlights

• Ella Nine Arches Bridge, Little Adam's Peak and Ravana Falls in one day
• Optional Flying Ravana zip-line with panoramic hill-country views
• Yala National Park morning jeep safari for elephants and leopard habitat
• Half-board Ella Gap hotel night between highlands and wildlife country

Who This Tour Is For

Ideal for wildlife enthusiasts and photographers who already plan Ella but want a leopard safari without adding four extra travel days. Moderate fitness helps for the Little Adam's Peak walk.

Best Time to Go

Yala is best February–July when the park is fully open; it closes briefly around September and we suggest Udawalawe instead. Dry-season mornings improve leopard spotting and Nine Arches photography.
