🍂Yala National Park🍂
Located on the island's southeast coast, this national park is known for leopard safaris. Leopards are very rare, but the park has a large population and it's possible to spot them even on a day trip. The park is also home to a large population of Asian elephants, which are endemic to Sri Lanka.

The tour is well organized and thank you very much for it. Our driver was a lovely guy and did a great job driving us around the national park pointing out animals that we would never have spotted. So thank you again. Recommend to go with them.
