The Lake Suites at our Yala property have the best views from all the tents! Raised on timber decks with beautiful water water views the verandah is a great spot to lounge around in a bean bag and watch nesting eagles and colourful kingfishers. A secret tunnel interconnects the two rooms making it ideal for families and exciting for kids. Access ramps make it wheelchair friendly and the steel cable fencing over the verandah makes it safe for kids to play on the decking. Inquire now: [email protected]

The beautiful scenery from the view point in Kumbukwila in Wilpattu National Park. Kumbukwila area serves as the rest room area of the park and a place one can relax, stretch their legs a little bit. The view point is great to observe the wildlife in the area including birds in the sky, fish in the water and maybe a leopard on the other side of the lake 😉 . . .

She shoots, she scores! The Borupanwila 1:2 female (a.k.a Cleopatra) successfully hunting a young gray langur monkey while running in muddy water. At first my friend Jeevan who was driving the vehicle saw the leopard resting near the water body and even before we can show it to the guest that was in the vehicle, it disappeared. It vanished in such a quick fashion, that we looked at each other and went "well, that was fast" She then appeared running on the far side of the water and we tried to figure out what she was chasing. Apparently she was chasing a baby monkey. She was smart and started near the border of the thicket, driving the monkey towards the water. Making it trapped at the waters edge. The monkey, without any option, jumped into the water and for a moment it seemed like she gave up the hunt. Within seconds she realized, the monkey was actually stuck in the mud and sprang into action. That is where the video begins. She then ran (and jumped) across the mud towards the young monkey, but the monkey was not successful at all with the escape. Everything was over within seconds. We have slowed down the section of the hunt in the video. (that section is muted, since our voices sound weird in slow motion) . . .

Oh snap! A sloth bear being attacked by a mugger crocodile. We had no idea that there was a crocodile inside this little man made water pond. As we believe what prompted the attack was the bear putting it's foot in the water, because we saw another bear drinking from this same water pond just minutes before these events took place. Lucky for the bear it was a small crocodile. Otherwise the outcome may have been much different than this. . .

Sloth bear hits the jackpot. Honey is highly caloric meaning by eating it, a bear can obtain a large amount of energy in one sitting as opposed to wandering about sniffing out other kinds of foods to fill its daily requirements. For a bear, finding a bee hive full of honey is like hitting the jackpot energetically speaking. Of course, bears do not stop to think about all of this 😅. For them, honey is good because it tastes nice😋. They have taste receptors much like ours, and enjoy the sweetness of honey.

Will we see her again? Will she stay in block 1? That is the question... This female is the reclusive Rakina Wala 3:3 female who first appeared in Yala block 1 in 2021, after a long 8 year hiatus. She was seen mating regularly with Pan Wala 2:2 male and she even visited some nearby territories hoping to establish or expand her current territory(which we believe is located in block 2, north of the Manik river). But she has taken to her original territory these days. We expected her to disappear back to block 2 (where we do not visit regularly because of the terrain) and we have grounds to believe that this is what happened. Will we see her again? Will she stay in block 1? That is the question... #leopardtrails #rangerlife #yalanationalpark #capturethewild #safari #safariphotography #naturephotography #nature_perfection #wildasia #wildlife_perfection #wildplanet #wildlifephotography #wilderness #naturelovers #splendid_animals #planetearth #natgeo #natgeowild #bbcearth #wanderlust #bigcatsofinstagram #bigcatdiaries #safariguide #nature_of_our_world #igscglobal #igscwildlife #gamedrives #photooftheday #travelandBeyond
