Yala, Sri Lanka’s most iconic national park, is a sprawling wilderness where untamed beauty meets raw excitement. This safari introduces you to a land of arid scrub, freshwater lagoons, and dense forest, home to one of the world’s highest densities of leopards. Venture out in search of spotted coats, trumpeting elephants, and slinking crocodiles in a landscape that feels like nature’s own theatre.
Hop into a 4×4 and journey across open plains and shaded trails to spot the elusive Sri Lankan leopard. Your guide will follow tracks, scents, and sightings to give you the best chance of witnessing these majestic predators in the wild.
Watch herds of elephants roam the park’s grasslands or gather near waterholes. Keep an eye out for shaggy sloth bears, golden jackals, and dozens of deer and wild boar roaming freely.
Scan the treetops and skies for storks, eagles, and vibrant bee-eaters. Yala is a haven for birdlife, with over 200 recorded species across its varied ecosystems.
