Yala is where your lens meets the wild – a place where the drama of nature unfolds against backdrops of golden savannah, dense scrub, ancient rock outcrops, and shimmering lagoons which offers unparalleled opportunities to capture these elusive big cats in their natural habitat. But leopards are just the beginning. The park is also home to majestic elephants, sloth bears, mugger crocodiles, and an incredible diversity of birdlife - over 200 species including raptors, waterfowl, and endemics.

For photographers, every corner of Yala offers a new frame - the soft light of dawn piercing the morning mist, herds of spotted deer grazing under acacia trees, or a painted stork soaring above a lotus-strewn waterhole. Its varied ecosystems provide rich contrasts, enabling dynamic storytelling through your lens.
