The Yala National Park which is situated near Tissa, also known as Tissamaharama, in the south of Sri Lanka and is a great place to spot wildlife.

We start our wildlife adventure in Tissamaharama where we prepared ourselves for the upcoming safari tours through the Yala National Park.

In Tissa we stayed at the Vikum Lodge, a low budget guesthouse which was perfect for us and even recommended by Lonely Planet as well.

We paid about three dollars per person a night which literally included not much more than a bed and a ventilator.
