Imagine journeying into the heart of a jungle; with abated breath you wait to catch a glimpse of a predator that is as majestic as it is stealthy. You see a flash of yellow and look through the foliage. There, resting on a tree branch, oblivious to visitors lies the Sri Lankan leopard in all its glory. Such experiences are available for those setting off on a Yala safari. If you are in search of a Sri Lanka beach resort on the South Coast from which to head to such sites, then consider staying at Tangalle hotels. Ranna212 is one such option and offers an idyllic getaway by the sea.
A protected nature reserve, Yala National Park is one of the best places in which to embark on a leopard safari. Many a leopard has been captured on film and on camera here, and experienced guides generally know the best areas to see these creatures. On your thrilling Yala safari you can also see the iconic Sri Lankan elephant as its roams around the park, while sloth bears, wild water buffalos and toque macaques may also be spotted on your excursions. Yala is a premier bird-watching hotspot as well and endemic varieties such as the Sri Lanka junglefowl and the Sri Lanka grey hornbill are amongst the many avifauna here.
