Yala National Park - Safari

We were very excited for our first ever Safari at the Yala National Park! From what we‘ve heard, the population of Leopards in the Yala Bational Park seems to be big enough that the chances to see one are quite high, so of course we hoped to see one as well! 🤞🏼
We only booked half a day, starting at 04:30 and ending at 13:00, as we thought half a day in a Jeep will be sufficient for us, and boy we were right about that: Our other 4 Safari-companions, which booked a full-day tour, all gave us jealous looks when we were taken to the park exit at 12:30 😅. It probably did not help that we‘ve seen most of the top attractions at lunchtime already, including a small herd of elephants (including a very wobbly 2 month old 🥹), wild boars, deer and mungos. And yey, best news last, we did see a leopard - or rather, we saw a leopards ass on the tree, but to us that still counts 🤷🏻‍♀️ if you find the picture showing a tree with a red arrow, that‘s our only photo of the Leopard 😂 So, our mission was accomplished, the Leopard sighted and our first ever Safari completed - we think we deserve some relaxing beach time now ✌🏼(yes, again, travelling is exhausting you know)Read more
