Yala Safari in August | The Best of the Dry Season 2026 updated
August is one of the most popular months for a Yala safari. It marks the height of the dry season, meaning animals are highly active and visible near water sources. It is the last chance to visit Block 1 before the park traditionally closes for rejuvenation in September. The weather is hot and sunny, making it a perfect addition to a summer holiday on the southern coast.
Book a Yala safari in August. Enjoy high leopard activity and great weather before the park’s annual September closure.
