Sri Lanka, BETTER than Africa?! Spotting Leopards in YALA National Park

4 LEOPARDS IN ONE DAY?! 🐆🌿 Is a Sri Lankan safari actually better than Africa? We went to Yala National Park to find out. As the leopard capital of the world, Yala is the best place for wildlife spotting in Sri Lanka. In this Yala National Park safari video, we trade the beaches of Mirissa for the deep jungle. We stayed in an off-grid lodge where you can hear wild animals at night (and find a bat in your bathroom!). What you’ll see in this Yala Safari: 🐆 Leopard Spotting: We saw 4 different leopards, including a rare close-up encounter. 🐘 Wild Elephants: A massive male elephant enjoying a bath in the lake. 🐊 Wildlife: Crocodiles, endangered wild buffalo, and exotic birds. 🏠 Jungle Lodge: A tour of our cabin and a bonfire dinner in the wild. If you’re planning a trip to Sri Lanka and want to know the best things to do in Yala, this video is for you! 📍 USEFUL TRAVEL LINKS (with discounts): Explore the world like I do! 🌍 Get an exclusive 5% DISCOUNT on all my favorite tours in the Wout of the World Store. 🎟️ Use code: WOUTOFTHEWORLD5 🔗 Book here: https://gyg.me/c9HN7QwD 📲 Download the GetYourGuide app to activate the discount: https://gyg.me/woutoftheworld-app Safari Trips to Yala National Park: https://gyg.me/jsUtOg7b ✈️ Cheap Flights to Sri Lanka: https://skyscanner.pxf.io/aOqG1o 🚗 Car Rentals in Sri Lanka: https://www.discovercars.com/sri-lanka?a_aid=Woutoftheworld 🏨 ALL the hotels we stayed in SRI LANKA in one MAP: https://www.stay22.com/embed/696e68a71ca0eb81807ca58a 📱 eSIM with discount code: WOUTHOLA → https://www.filify.co/SHCuJ 📚 Try Storytel FREE for 30 days: https://www.filify.co/SHCqc 👩‍⚕️ Travel and Nomad Health Insurance: https://safetywing.com/?referenceID=26438253&utm_source=26438253&utm_medium=Ambassador 🎒 OUR TRAVEL GEAR: 📸 Camera → https://amzn.to/42Q5R1h 📷 Lens → https://amzn.to/4p3Jb66 📷 Zoom Lens → https://amzn.to/4hWbmSm 🚁 Drone → https://amzn.to/47laqSC 📱 iPhone → https://amzn.to/3JoynQS 🎥 GoPro → https://amzn.to/3JnwFPJ 🎒 Backpack → https://amzn.to/49cZQzs 👶 Stroller → https://amzn.to/3JkytJk ❤️ Subscribe to @WoutoftheWorld for weekly travel guides and join our family adventures around the globe! 🇳🇱 Our DUTCH Channel: @WoutoftheWorldNederlands 📌 Follow us here: https://www.instagram.com/woutoftheworld https://www.facebook.com/woutoftheworld https://linktr.ee/woutoftheworld https://www.woutoftheworld.com 🎬 Chapters: 00:00 Intro 04:00 Our jungle lodge 11:08 Safari time 30:27 Leopard up close 31:31 Diner and bonfire under the stars 💬 Disclosure: Some of the links above are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
