Kumana National Park Safari

Yala National Park exceeded all expectations! We were lucky enough to spot a Sri Lankan leopard lounging on a rock - Yala has one of the highest leopard densities in the world. Also saw elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles, and countless bird species including peacocks and painted storks. Our jeep driver/guide was excellent at tracking animals and sharing knowledge about the ecosystem. The park landscape is diverse - from dense jungle to open grasslands and lagoons. Early morning safari (5:30 AM start) gave us the best wildlife viewing. Bring binoculars and a good camera. Absolutely thrilling experience!
