Leopard Trails Yala

The facilities available within the tents vary between the two camp locations. The Wilpattu camp is occasionally moved to different locations during the wet season, and is therefore built with less infrastructure. The tents here are basic but comfortable, and provide everything that guests may need during their stay. The Yala camp offer Classic mobile tents (the same as at Wilpattu), but there is also the option to stay in their luxury tents if desired. These are larger, have more extended bathroom facilities and are designed for guests who wish to maintain luxurious accommodation standards within the bush. Each camp has several relaxation areas, where guests can spend time during the day resting among nature.
Instead of designated restaurants, meals at the camps are arranged in varying stunning locations around the grounds, allowing total immersion into the wildlife of the national parks at all times. Service is impeccable and the food on offer focuses upon showcasing the varying delights of Sri Lankan cuisine.

Depending on the park visited, you might encounter leopard, elephant, wild boar, jackal, wild buffalo, water and land monitor lizards, barking deer, crocodile, sloth bear, grey langur, spotted deer, samba deer, fishing cat and many species of birds. Willpatu national park is popular for those wishing to find leopard and sloth bear, and is also heralded as one of the best parks to find barking deer. Yala National Park’s diverse vegetation – including scrub jungle, lakes and brackish lagoons – makes it perfect for finding diverse arrays of wildlife, whilst it is also said to have the highest density of leopards in the world.
