The road less travelled makes all the difference: promoting Block 5 of Yala National Park
Due to the worrying number of jeeps entering Block 1 of Yala National Park, we always suggest taking the road less travelled down Block 5. With just a 30-minute drive from the Big Game and Mahoora campsites in Yala, Block 5 offers more or less the same wildlife sightings as Block 1. However, less ‘jeep traffic’ lets you truly enjoy a cup of tea or coffee better, while alone on the banks of the photogenic Weheragala Reservoir, just in time for sundown by the surrounding mountains! Not only does this promotion help reduce the number of jeeps swarming Block 1, it simultaneously gives guests an undisturbed safari experience.
