Overview
Why go to Yala & Udawalawe
Yala National Park has one of the highest densities of leopards in the world, alongside sloth bears, crocodiles and great flocks of water birds. Game drives run at dawn and in the late afternoon, when the cats are most active.
Udawalawe, two hours inland, is the island's most reliable place to see wild elephants, with herds grazing the open grassland around the reservoir. We pair the two with jeep drivers we trust, who know the parks and keep a respectful distance from the wildlife.
