Visit the Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home to watch orphaned baby elephants being bottle-fed milk by dedicated conservationists. Continue to Yala for your evening lodge check-in.
Early morning and late afternoon private 4x4 game safaris in Yala National Park Block 1. Maximize opportunities to track and photograph the majestic Sri Lankan leopard, sloth bear, and jackal.

A telephoto zoom lens (e.g. 100-400mm or 70-300mm) is ideal for capturing wild leopards, birds, and elephant herds from the safari jeep.
