It’s home to wildlife such as leopards, elephants and crocodiles, as well as hundreds of bird species. Inland, Sithulpawwa is an ancient Buddhist monastery. Nearby caves contain centuries-old rock paintings. Southwest, Magul Maha Viharaya also has ancient Buddhist ruins. Both are pilgrimage sites.

There are few experiences to match the thrill of waking up in your own private camp, with not a soul for miles around you other than your caretakers, in one of the most sensational wildlife parks in Sri Lanka. Yala Safari holidays organize tailor-made camping safaris in designated sensational locations in Yala national park
