Yala
DESTINATION OVERVIEW
Yala National Park gives the best opportunity to witness Sri Lanka’s broad variety of wildlife: colourful painted storks in troops are seen perched at the shores of lagoon where the crocodiles too have chosen to doze off; lovely fantailed peacocks in their resplendent blues and greens parade about amidst the woods where monkeys hang, leap and chatter; in the bush jungle where the Elephant crossing and wandering off into the thorny scrub jungle is the star attraction of the park.
A Land of Leopards
Yala is renowned for its Sri Lankan leopards, boasting one of the highest densities of these elusive predators worldwide. Our experienced guides will lead you on exhilarating jeep safaris, navigating the park’s diverse landscapes to increase your chances of witnessing these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.
A Symphony of Wildlife
Beyond the thrill of the hunt, Yala offers a dazzling display of biodiversity. Witness herds of majestic Asian elephants grazing in the grasslands or spot elusive sloth bears and playful monkeys swinging through the trees. The park is a birdwatcher paradise, with over 200 species calling Yala home. Watch for hornbills with impressive casques, vibrant Asian paradise flycatchers, and graceful flamingos wading in the lagoons.
Diverse Landscapes Captivate
Yala’s beauty transcends its wildlife. Explore a captivating tapestry of landscapes, from dense shrub jungles teeming with life to vast, golden grasslands stretching towards the horizon. Spot crocodiles basking on the shores of freshwater lakes and be mesmerized by the sight of the Indian Ocean shimmering in the distance at the park’s borders. Witness the park come alive at sunrise when the mist hangs low over the plains and the calls of animals fill the air.
