Sri Lanka's Yala National Park is the pinnacle of safari experiences for visitors seeking a close connection with nature.
The Park stretches across 129,700 hectares and is home to a wide variety of wildlife. The thick shriubs and bushes of the jungle offers perfect hiding places for a leopard to stalk its prey, and as night falls, the cries of nightjars and frogs fill the air.
Yala is situated in the coastal wilderness and thus is one of the only places in the world where you can spot Asian elephants strolling right beside the beach. The park has a highly diverse terrain, consisting of thorn and dry deciduous forests, light riverine, fresh and brackish water wetlands, scrub jungle, tanks, lagoons, open grasslands, and even sand dunes!
