What is the current Yala Park foreigner entrance fee?

Ravana Tour Specialist August 15, 2026

The first entrance fee for a foreign adult going to Yala National Park is around $25 to $30 USD, depending on how the daily currency shifts and what the government adds in taxes. Still, this amount does not cover the required expenses, such as the jeep hire, a park tracker, and the vehicle entry fee.

When you arrange a safari, it is usually more practical to ask for an “all-inclusive” package through your hotel or directly with a private safari operator. A common half-day private jeep drive, which includes the entrance tickets, all taxes, the jeep rental, and the driver’s fee, often ends up near $50 to $70 USD per person.
