Yala

Yala National Park on the south east coast is a mix of jungle, lagoons and open grassland. It is home to leopards, elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles and hundreds of bird species, and is best explored on an early morning or evening jeep safari.

Hidden Gems

  • Early morning safaris give the best leopard sightings.
  • Watch for sloth bears in the dry season.
  • Stay close to the park to be first at the gate.

Best Time to Visit

February to July is the best time for wildlife. Parts of the park may close for a few weeks around September and October.
