Yala is Sri Lanka’s most celebrated wildlife destination and one of the most thrilling safari experiences in all of Asia. The park holds the highest leopard density of any protected area in Asia, making sightings of this elusive, magnificent cat a genuine and frequent possibility. Beyond the leopard, Yala’s varied terrain of dry scrubland, open grasslands, coastal lagoons and rocky outcrops shelters elephants, sloth bears, mugger crocodiles, water buffalo and an exceptional diversity of birdlife, all encountered across a safari circuit that consistently delivers the unexpected and the unforgettable.
