Not only do you have the best chance of seeing a Sri Lankan leopard, but you also have a very high chance of seeing elephants. We went during a period of time that Yala national park was experiencing a mini-drought. This meant that the elephants were further inside the park around the permanent lakes and not need the main roads. Even then, we still managed to spot a lone male grazing in amongst the trees. If you go to Yala when there are not experiencing a drought then you will certainly see herds of elephants roaming around the park in plain sight.

OMG this was an amazing experience thanks to our guid Ruwan🫶 this guy is amazing, first started as a volunteer to gain some experience and you’ll notice this. There are some young guides that don’t respect the nature as much as he did and his knowledge is amazing. He separated from the rest of the guides to make it as much relaxed as possible for us. I spotted all the animals I was hoping for to see only the leopard was hard to find but he made some extra effort for us and there he was chilling on a tree branch. You have to look up he told us many times and it was worth it!! Really ask for this guy cause apparently all safari in don’t have own jeeps so they hire local guides what’s super nice in my opinion but make sure you get this guy!! Thanks dude for this unforgettable adventure!!
