About Tissamaharama (Yala)
Tissamaharama, shortened to Tissa by everyone, is the town where you sleep to visit Yala National Park. It sits beside a large ancient reservoir, has a white dagoba more than two thousand years old, and wakes up before dawn every day because that is when the safari jeeps leave.

You pay the full price online when you book and owe the driver nothing before or after the safari, or pay 50% online and the rest in cash to the driver, an option that costs 10% more.
