Southern Wilds
Yala National Park
Sri Lanka's premier wildlife reserve — leopards, sloth bears, and starlit bush dinners.
About Yala National Park
Yala is Sri Lanka's most celebrated national park and one of the world's highest-density leopard habitats. Two game drives per day in private open-roof jeeps with expert trackers give you the best chance of encountering the island's most elusive predator — along with sloth bears, mugger crocodiles, elephants, and hundreds of bird species. Evenings at Yala are extraordinary: a starlit bush dinner with the sound of the jungle as your backdrop is an experience that stays with you.
