Yala National Park - A Wildlife Paradise

Nestled in Sri Lanka's southeastern region, Yala National Park spans over 979 square kilometers of pristine wilderness, making it the country's most visited and second-largest national park. This remarkable biodiversity hotspot is globally renowned for hosting the world's highest concentration of leopards, with an estimated 25-30 leopards per 100 square kilometers.

The park's diverse ecosystems include tropical dry forests, grasslands, coastal lagoons, and rocky outcrops, creating ideal habitats for over 44 mammal species and 215 bird species. Beyond leopards, visitors regularly encounter Asian elephants, sloth bears, spotted deer, sambars, wild boars, and numerous reptile species including mugger crocodiles.

Yala's conservation significance extends beyond wildlife diversity. The park plays a crucial role in protecting Sri Lanka's endemic species and serves as an important wildlife corridor connecting coastal and inland ecosystems. Our expert safari guides share in-depth knowledge about these conservation efforts and the park's role in regional biodiversity protection.

Whether you're captivated by the stealth of a hunting leopard, the majesty of elephant herds, or the vibrant birdlife at dawn, Yala promises transformative encounters with nature's most spectacular wildlife in their natural habitat.
