The story
Yala holds one of the highest leopard densities on earth, and it is where you go to find them. Add Udawalawe's wild elephant herds and a coastal night, and this pairs two of Sri Lanka's national parks in one short break.
Your journey outline
Each stage can cover one or more days. Tell us what you would change; your final itinerary is agreed before booking.
-
Land at Colombo and drive to Udawalawe, around four hours inland and south. Arriving the night before matters: the gates open early and the animals are active in the first two hours. An early dinner at the lodge, a briefing, and an alarm set for something uncivilised.
-
Udawalawe at first light. Sri Lanka's tourism board calls it the best place in the country to see wild elephants all year round, with herds of up to a hundred and very little undergrowth around the reservoir to hide them. The Elephant Transit Home in the afternoon, where orphaned calves are fed and later released rather than kept.
-
East to Yala, which holds one of the highest leopard densities anywhere. An evening game drive to start, because the light is good and the cats move at dusk. Yala is scrub, rock outcrops and lagoons rather than open plain, so sightings are a matter of patience and a good tracker.
-
A dawn drive, which is the one that most often produces a leopard, along with sloth bears, crocodiles and a great deal of birdlife. Back to the lodge for a late breakfast, and the afternoon at the beach, because Yala runs to the coast and almost nobody uses it.
-
Back to Colombo and the flight home. Four nights, two parks, and the specific memory of a vehicle full of people going completely silent at the same moment.
