Yala National Park – Sri Lanka’s Wild Side

If spotting a leopard is on your travel wishlist, Yala National Park is the place to be. Bordering the Indian Ocean in south-eastern Sri Lanka, this incredible reserve has been protecting wildlife since 1938. Today, visitors are welcomed into Yala West (Ruhunu National Park) – more than enough to deliver an unforgettable jeep safari adventure.

Yala is world-famous for having the highest concentration of leopards on the planet, but they’re far from the only stars of the show. Elephants, sloth bears, buffalo, monkeys, crocodiles and a rainbow of birdlife all call the park home. Every safari brings a new surprise.

Our Best of Sri Lanka Tour and Uncover Sri Lanka Tour both feature time in Yala, giving you the chance to explore its wild landscapes in style. You can also add a safari here to your own tailor-made Sri Lanka holiday – it’s an experience you’ll never forget.

And the adventure doesn’t stop with wildlife. A Sri Lanka tour also takes you to cultural treasures like the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic in Kandy, the cave temples of Dambulla, and the ancient cities of Sigiriya and Polonnaruwa. Or simply slow down with time in the lush hill country and on the island’s golden beaches.
