Leopards, elephants, water buffalo, monkeys, jackals, crocodiles and hornbills; they all live in the very diverse nature reserve of Yala National Park. Yala, also called Ruhunu Park, is one of the best game parks in Sri Lanka to go on safari. Your chances of spotting elephants in the wild are quite high, with a population of a few hundred elephants. Due to the successful leopard project, you will also find a relatively large number of leopards in Yala. We spotted one on a broad branch in a tree, an amazing sight!   Travel tips Yala National Park – Go on a jeep safari in Yala and book a half or full day tour. Safaris can be arranged at most hotels and at the entrance of the park. The jeeps are often open on the side and have a roof for sun protection. – Entrance fees for the Yala National Park are approximately € 15 per adult per day. Children 6-12 receive a 50% discount. – Check the condition of the jeep with which you are going on a safari. The old jeeps are cheaper and less comfortable than the newer jeeps. The costs for a jeep safari in Yala are approximately € 25 to € 35 per jeep for half a day (regardless of the number of passengers). The driver is then immediately your guide. An additional guide can be hired for a surcharge. A tip for both the driver and any guide is common. Best hotels in Yala National Park Hotels can be found in the nearby town of Tissamaharama (20 km, a 45-minute drive from the Yala entrance) and at Yala itself. For optimum convenience, we recommend staying as close to the entrance as possible. This is often the more expensive option. Budget: Leopard City Hostel and Lakeside Cabana – both in Tissamaharama Mid-range: The Coconut Gardens in Tissamaharama Comfortable luxury: Cinnamon Wild Yala at the entrance of Yala   Unique overnight stays in Yala Sleeping in a treehouse: Yala Eco Tree House in Tissamaharama Camping in the park: Big Game Camp Yalain Yala National Park

Guests can go on safaries . Yala National Park is the most visited and second largest national park in Sri Lanka. It is located in the south of Sri Lanka and is a popular destination for those hoping to spot a spotted leopard as it boasts one of the highest leopard densities in the world.

Sri Lanka's alpha predator is protected in a number of national parks, but is most easily sighted in Yala National Park, on the island's southern coast, where you can cool off in the ocean after a day on safari. Yala National Park is Sri Lanka’s number one leopard sanctuary. The big cats are thriving here in territories of little more than a kilometre each – “the highest density in the world” – making seeing one almost a certainty. For those hoping to see a close-up leopard make its way down the tree and casually saunter through clearing to the cover of the bushes, then Yala National Park is undoubtedly the place to be.
