This is one of the best times to spot wildlife, including leopards, elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles, and a wide variety of bird species. Cool temperatures and soft morning light create ideal conditions for wildlife viewing and photography. Evening Safari (1.30 PM – 6.00 PM) The evening safari allows you to explore the park as animals become active again before sunset.

About Yala National Park

Yala is Sri Lanka's most visited wildlife park, a dry-zone reserve of scrub, lagoons and rock on the south-east coast, famous for leopards and elephants.

Yala National Park covers a large area of the south-east coast of Sri Lanka, a mix of dry scrub forest, grassland, lagoons, rocky outcrops and sand dunes beside the Indian Ocean. It was set aside as a wildlife sanctuary in 1900 and became a national park in 1938, and it is divided into blocks, of which Block 1 is the most visited. Tissamaharama, a town on a large lake, is the usual base.
