Yala National Park is a huge area of forest, grassland and lagoons bordering the Indian Ocean in southeast Sri Lanka. Renowned for its leopard population (the highest density anywhere), it also hosts elephants and crocodiles as well as hundreds of bird species. The animals are more likely to come into the open when the water levels are low between February and July although sightings (particularly of the elusive leopard) are not guaranteed. Safaris are plentiful.
