Nestled in the southeastern corner of Sri Lanka, Yala National Park is the island’s most iconic wildlife sanctuary - famous for having one of the world’s highest densities of leopards. A breathtaking blend of dry forests, open grasslands, lagoons, and coastal scrubland, Yala offers a raw and thrilling encounter with nature where every safari tells a story of the wild.

Best Time to Visit

"Yala is open most of the year, but the best time to visit is between February and July, when water levels are lower and animals gather around lagoons, making wildlife sightings more frequent. For the best leopard spotting opportunities, opt for an early morning or late afternoon safari."
