Yala Safari

Visit the world-renowned Yala Safari Park (blocks 1 & 5) within a 30-minute drive from our property. Many visitors are unaware there is an entrance from the Katagamuwa side to the park, which is much closer and less frequented by hordes of jeeps. There are several advantages (as opposed to the Palatupana entrance, which is close to Kirinda). Firstly, this area is outstanding for leopard sightings. The much shorter access time and distance is an enormous advantage. The second is one can leave much later saving a lot of time and the hassle of leaving as early as 5 am otherwise. This means there is more time in the park, and more opportunity to spot a leopard or a bear!
