Sri Lanka offers several very different safari regions, and the most famous park is not automatically the right one for every itinerary.
Yala
Known for leopard habitat and varied landscapes, Yala works naturally with many south-coast routes.
Udawalawe
Often chosen for elephant sightings and straightforward routing between the hills and the south.
Wilpattu
A larger, quieter-feeling landscape that can suit northern or Cultural Triangle itineraries.
