Yala National Park - Katagamuwa Entrance

Yala, National Park is a great place to enjoy your time in nature. I spotted so many wild animals. Our guide was also very nice . I was slightly disappointed since I didn’t spot the leopard, but I totally understand that we cannot Control mother nature, so overall it was a nice experience to go for a wildlife Safari

Even if we didn't see leopards, we were lucky and saw many other animals, birds, butterflies. I was on tour for 4 hours in the morning. A special experience in a beautiful natural park

The less crowded entrance. Get there as early as possible! We had a great stay at Kele Resort the night before and they organised the Jeep tour for us.

Exceptional Yala Safari experience by Makini bush camp and the all inclusive glamping stay with them was the highlight of our vacation in Sri Lanka. We saw many wild animals including Sri Lankan elephants, 🐆 several leopards, Sri Lankan sloth bear, crocodiles, and many beautiful birds! Our safari driver took paths that most didn't take giving us the rare opportunity of spotting so much wildlife.

A very beautiful forest. Many beautiful animals can be seen

Have visited few times and must go place for the nature lovers. Located in dry zone and can see different types of animals. If you are really lucky you will be a able to see leopard

The main benefit of entering from Katagamuwa is that the distance to the Talgasmankada-Meda Para area, which is a more popular area for leopards, is significantly shorter. The traffic on the Palatupana side can be avoided. Given that Talgasmankada and Meda Para are closer to the Katagamuwa entrance, one can depart much later, increasing the likelihood of seeing a leopard.

A wonderful place to visit in sri lanka

I have never seen a leopard that close in my lifetime.. nearly 15 feet different...my hand and leg started severing...

I have been here twice this year, two days each time. We saw leopards on two days. The other two days we saw elephant, deer, crocodile, monkeys, boar, peacocks and many other birds.

Nice clean place. roads are rocky and thats the fun part. alot ofnsightings of monkeys, water buffaloes, wild bore, jungle fowl and peacocks. best was seeing the slot bear, leopard and the black necked stock, and elephants.

Beautiful landscape and animals. However if you go to safari you might be disappointed as most of the gif turn it into a chasing of the tiger but you might see just a little of it if you're lucky

Yala has the highest density of leopards anywhere in the world. So you get a good chance of seeing a leopard out in the wild.

The main advantage of entry from the Katagamuwa is much shorter to the Talgasmankada-Meda Para area which is more popular area for leopards. You can skip the Palatupana side traffic. As the Katagamuwa entrance is closer to Talgasmankada and Meda Para, one can leave much later improving the chances of a leopard sighting.

Less jeeps early in the morning. It's better this entrance

Great experience, saw beautiful leopards and elephants

The most amazing full day safari we saw elephants, leopards, sloth bear, buffalos, để and many more animals! Such a lovely experience

An experience that must be tried

Excellent place for a range of fauna & birds. Peaceful atmosphere

Had a wonderful time with our guides from kulu safari at yala national park. The park zone is quite large and it's open for a good part of the day. Saw so many beautiful animals including leopards, elephants, and a very wide variety of birds.
