Experience an unforgettable safari adventure with Leopard Trails, a bespoke tented camp set on the edge of Yala National Park. Inspired by the pioneering British explorers of wild Ceylon, the camp combines authentic safari style with comfort, exceptional guiding and immersive wildlife encounters.
Upon arrival at camp, settle into your home for the duration of your stay and enjoy a freshly prepared lunch by the camp chef. Afterwards, take some time to relax and soak up the peaceful surroundings before heading out at around 3:30pm for an evening safari. Purpose-built safari vehicles are designed for maximum comfort and excellent visibility, offering the best possible vantage point to spot Sri Lanka’s extraordinary wildlife.
As night falls, return to camp for drinks around the campfire, where stories of the day’s sightings are shared beneath the stars. Enjoy a hearty dinner before unwinding in the atmospheric surroundings, perhaps with a good book from the camp’s small library.
Accommodation at Leopard Trails Yala ranges from spacious, well-appointed safari tents through to a selection of more exclusive suite categories. The Classic Tents offer a comfortable safari base with en-suite bathrooms, open-air showers and natural ventilation, while the larger Luxury Tents provide added comfort with air-conditioning, indoor showers and solar-powered hot water. For a more elevated stay, the Lake Suites offer a beautifully designed retreat overlooking the water, blending understated style with a strong sense of seclusion and nature. At the top end, the Pool Suite delivers the most indulgent experience, with generous living space and a private plunge pool, offering complete privacy and a refined safari escape.
After a restful night’s sleep, rise early for a morning safari, when the park is at its most active. Venture out in search of the elusive leopard, alongside elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles and an abundance of birdlife, as the wilderness awakens around you.
