Big Leopard Sri Lanka safari with visits to both Wilpattu and Yala
It’s all about the Leopards on this small group Sri Lanka leopard safari as we double up our chances by spending 4 nights in both Wilpattu and Yala during this 10 day Sri Lanka wildlife holiday. We also include some night time drives for the chances of lesser wild cats, like Jungle and Fishing Cat. Rusty-Spotted cat is very difficult, but we will try for it, and enjoy all the other amazing wildlife we encounter.
