What you can expect

Uncover the natural treasures of the country's most visited and second-largest national park. Keep your eyes peeled for herds of roaming elephants, prowling leopards, and flocks of exotic birds. The variety of ecosystems provides an ever-changing landscape for you to admire.

Make the worthwhile journey south to see the ancient lands of Yala. Through the ages many civilizations called the land home and 2 pilgrimage sites are found here. In this area, now protected by vital conservation laws, see how the collection of ecosystems—including different types of forests and wetlands—support the park's astounding array of birds and mammals.

On your safari drive, keep your eyes peeled for the 2 native species of crocodiles that breed here. It's hard to miss the wandering elephants and—with the highest concentration of leopards anywhere in the world—your chances of spotting an elusive big cat are good. Don't ignore the skies; 215 species of birds inhabit the region and nest in a variety of plants in this colorful environment.
