But in a nutshell, we went on safari in Yala National Park, in blocks 5 and 6, which are said to be perfect for leopard spotting. At the time, we didn't really have much of a choice, as it had rained so hard for 3 days that it had flooded absolutely everything and only these two blocks in the park could be explored. We could have gone to a different park, but we got caught in some really weird weather and preferred to see only this and save it for next time.

We left at 5am by jeep to the park entrance, where we arrived after an hour and waited for the driver to buy tickets. You will see that there are a lot of safari cars, Yala is also the most popular park, so if you have the opportunity, better go to another park so you don't feel like you are at the zoo. Expect such a safari to be between 130-170 euro\/two people, which includes the jeep with driver\/guide and park entry tickets.<br><br>We were very luck with a driver who, as soon as we entered the park, bypassed all the cars and drove on some very bumpy roads and it was mostly just us on the road. The chances of seeing leopards are generally very slim anyway, but when it's raining or everything is flooded then they are 0. The driver drove for 6 hours almost continuously to show us as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery .kb-gallery-type-grid.kb-gallery-id-1578_fbcdab-29{margin:-7.5px;}.kb-gallery-type-grid.kb-gallery-id-1578_fbcdab-29 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item{padding:7.5px;}.kb-gallery-id-1578_fbcdab-29 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-1578_fbcdab-29 .kb-slide-item .kb-gal-image-radius img{border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery.kb-gallery-wrap-id-1578_fbcdab-29{overflow:visible;}.kb-gallery-id-1578_fbcdab-29 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-1578_fbcdab-29 .kadence-blocks-gallery-thumb-item .kb-gal-image-radius{box-shadow:4px 2px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);}.kb-gallery-id-1578_fbcdab-29 .kadence-blocks-gallery-item:hover .kb-gal-image-radius, .kb-gallery-id-1578_fbcdab-29 .kadence-blocks-gallery-thumb-item:hover .kb-gal-image-radius{box-shadow:4px 2px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);}<\/style><div class=\"kb-gallery-wrap-id-1578_fbcdab-29 alignnone wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery\"><ul class=\"kb-gallery-ul kb-gallery-non-static kb-gallery-type-grid kb-gallery-id-1578_fbcdab-29 kb-gallery-caption-style-bottom-hover kb-gallery-filter-none\" data-image-filter=\"none\" data-item-selector=\".kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" data-lightbox-caption=\"true\" data-columns-xxl=\"2\" data-columns-xl=\"2\" data-columns-md=\"2\" data-columns-sm=\"2\" data-columns-xs=\"1\" data-columns-ss=\"1\"><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\" style=\"max-width:1024px;\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-inherit kb-has-image-ratio-inherit\" style=\"padding-bottom:66%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1768-1024x683.webp\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1768.webp\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1768.webp\" data-id=\"1851\" class=\"wp-image-1851\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1768-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1768-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1768-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1768-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1768-18x12.webp 18w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1768.webp 1620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/li><li class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"kadence-blocks-gallery-item-inner\"><figure class=\"kb-gallery-figure kadence-blocks-gallery-item-hide-caption\"><div class=\"kb-gal-image-radius\" style=\"max-width:1024px;\"><div class=\"kb-gallery-image-contain kadence-blocks-gallery-intrinsic kb-gallery-image-ratio-inherit kb-has-image-ratio-inherit\" style=\"padding-bottom:66%;\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1821-1024x683.webp\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" alt=\"\" data-full-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1821.webp\" data-light-image=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1821.webp\" data-id=\"1852\" class=\"wp-image-1852\" srcset=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1821-1024x683.webp 1024w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1821-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1821-768x512.webp 768w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1821-1536x1024.webp 1536w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1821-18x12.webp 18w, https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/NAC_1821.webp 1620w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/figure><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We went with very low expectations, knowing that with so much water, the animals, especially the elephants, don't congregate in one place for water.

Being so far away from the other cars, we found a lone male elephant and got quite close, with the engine off, and sat and watched him for minutes without talking. It was a dream come true! And a unique moment was that he stalked us, picked up a branch with his trunk and ran after the car for a bit to attack us and let out a scream at the end. I don't think he was stressed by us, but rather defending his territory.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedgallery

Lanka a beach destination?&nbsp;<strong>YES!<\/strong>Absolutely yes! \ud83e\udd0d It can only be visited for the paradisiacal beaches it enjoys and you won't go wrong. Of course, I highly recommend you follow our itinerary and get to the center for the culture and scenery. Most of the beaches are wild, with huge waves and impressive palm trees surrounding them...<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-small-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/traveltaleswithioana.com\/en\/the-most-10-beautiful-beaches-in-sri-lanka\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Read more<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Half day spent in Colombo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The last of our trip we spent it in&nbsp;<strong>Colombo<\/strong>, at a super hotel with an infinity pool by the ocean,&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/lk\/granbell-colombo.en-gb.html?aid=818288&amp;label=affnetcj-11916287_pub-5108952_site-101299129_pname-Go%20Travel%20Un%20Limited_clkid-9aa52c7d1c50458a81ea95b8d-585684_cjevent-443919e50b1a11f083c404110a18ba72&amp;sid=6f5a9c402faedc7dcdcc6bca17415e4c&amp;all_sr_blocks=826831719_409762081_2_2_0_611445%2C826831720_409762081_2_2_0_611445&amp;checkin=2025-03-27&amp;checkout=2025-03-28&amp;dest_id=8268317&amp;dest_type=hotel&amp;dist=0&amp;group_adults=3&amp;group_children=0&amp;hapos=1&amp;highlighted_blocks=826831719_409762081_2_2_0_611445%2C826831720_409762081_2_2_0_611445&amp;hpos=1&amp;matching_block_id=826831719_409762081_2_2_0_611445&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;req_adults=3&amp;req_children=0&amp;room1=A%2CA%2CA&amp;sb_price_type=total&amp;sr_order=popularity&amp;sr_pri_blocks=826831719_409762081_2_2_0_611445_14097%2C826831720_409762081_2_2_0_611445_14803&amp;srepoch=1743088815&amp;srpvid=e3506bd3a7ba0ab6&amp;type=total&amp;ucfs=1&amp;#hotelTmpl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Granbell Hotel<\/a><\/strong>.&nbsp;De sus am avut o super priveli\u0219te asupra zg\u0103rie-norilor din ora\u0219, a\u0219a c\u0103 a doua zi \u00eenainte de zbor, am zis s\u0103 lu\u0103m la pas aceast\u0103 zon\u0103 \u0219i s\u0103 vedem cum arat\u0103 o mic\u0103 parte din capital\u0103.<br><br>In addition to walking around the nearby lake and observing the stark contrast between the buildings, we also went into the <strong>Gangaramaya Temple<\/strong>, which turned out to be a very interesting place.
