Yala
Yala is the largest and most famous National park with Yala West (Ruhuna) combining a strict nature reserve with the Park. Sri Lanka boasts the world’s largest population of leopards. Yala has been the centre-stage to many BBC and Discovery Channel documentaries. The cat’s purr can be heard from a distance and is so soporific. They love to bask in the sun at the top of 30ft rocks and it’s breathtaking, so take a zoom/telephoto lens. February-June/July is the optimum time to visit when water tables are low. Leopard, elephant and many smaller animals are competing for the same drinking supply. You are likely also to see sloth bears, deer, wild boar, buffaloes, crocodiles and monkeys. Birds are in profusion – up to 130 species. The park also contains a monastic settlement, Situlpahuwa and other important centres of pilgrimage. The guides and jeeps (if you don’t negotiate something cheaper in Tissamaharama) join you at the Yala gates. The guides are very knowledgeable and intent on ensuring you have a great time. Despite their daily trips, they too love to find the rare animals. Yala is now attracting thousands of tourists so be patient during peak season as convoys are unavoidable. Avoid Christmas, Christian and Sinhala New years. Yala East – rarely visited during the Tamil fighting but now open and a less crowded option than Yala West. The general fauna on view is similar, with the addition of many water birds towards the east coast and in the mangrove swamps. We provide you comfortable safari jeeps in low prices.
