You can absolutely arrange a jeep directly in Tissamaharama town the evening before your safari. This local approach saves you nearly half the cost compared to online tour packages. Walk into any guesthouse and they will connect you with reliable licensed jeep drivers. A full half day morning safari should cost roughly seven thousand rupees for the jeep itself plus the separate park entrance fees per person. Always confirm exactly what is included before agreeing. Avoid the touts who approach you outside the park gates as their pricing is often inflated and the jeep quality is unreliable.
