Title: Is it safe to take my Defender to Yala Safari?
Post by: David-Silva90 on Jun 18, 2025, 11:23 PM
Guys, planning a road trip to Yala with some friends. Thinking of taking  Defender 90, but I haven't done long trips with it yet. Is it good for Yala roads? I heard the way get pretty rough. Just did a minor service last week, so it should be okay. Anyone done a Yala safari with their Defender? What should I watch out for? :D

Bro Yala is perfect for Defenders. I went last year with my 110. Some parts of the park are a bit sandy and bumpy, but your 90 will handle it easy. Just check your tire pressure and take a tow rope just in case. Suspension and clearance on Defenders are built for this. Also, don't forget to pack some mosquito spray and plenty of water — trust me! ;)  Enjoy the trip, Yala (https://www.yalasrilanka.lk/) is next-level with a Defender. 8)

Ado machan, 90 is perfect for Yala! Roads get rough but nothing your Defender can't handle. Just check tyres, fluids, and carry a tow strap & shovel for safety. Fill up at Tissa.
