Located in the rugged southeastern corner of the island, Yala National Park is Sri Lanka's most famous and wildly popular wildlife sanctuary. Spanning over 1,200 square kilometres of diverse terrain ranging from dense jungles to open scrubland and coastal lagoons, Yala offers a premier safari experience.
Yala is globally renowned for having one of the highest densities of leopards in the world, giving visitors a fantastic chance of spotting these elusive apex predators. During a jeep safari, you are also highly likely to encounter large herds of wild elephants, sloth bears, water buffalo, crocodiles, and a spectacular array of exotic bird species.
