  • We went on Safari in Yala National Park in Sri Lanka on the search for leopards. Were we lucky? Watch and find out.
    Yala National Park is renowned for the presence of leopards. In fact it is considered one of the best places in the world to spot them on Safari.
    After travelling in Africa for 10 months, going on numerous safaris and only seeing 4 of the BIG 5, we came here to Sri Lanka to try our luck in seeing the illusive leopard.
    But it's not only leopards that can be seen in Yala. You can also see elephants, sloth bears, crocodile, mongoose, monkeys, buffalo, deer and so much more. Come along with us for a safari of a lifetime!

    You guys really struck it lucky. Not many would get to see a baby leopard & a sloth bear which are notoriously shy. Not to mention the pachyderm showing off his todger, which reminded me of my good days.

    • @FrugalTravellers
      @FrugalTravellers  3 місяці тому +4

      Haha 😂 Thanks 🙏 We did strike it lucky there. We heard many stories from people who didn't get to see anywhere near as much. Our driver, Janka really went out of his way to make it memorable for us. 🙏. I'd do it again in a flash! Mr pachyderm certainly was a big boy 😳. He came up close so we had to scoot in case he got frisky. 😂😂

    Hi guys. Really enjoyed watching this with Lyndsy - a Jungle Book fan from the past. Assume none of the animals were introduced to the reserve. We both wondered what is usual elephant tucker? They looked very healthy. Thanks for a very entertaining video xo

    • @FrugalTravellers
      @FrugalTravellers  3 місяці тому +5

      Hi Ally 😊 So glad you and Lyndsy enjoyed it being such avid wildlife fans. 😍. Sri Lanka is teaming with wildlife and so verdant too, so they thrive here. Nothing has been introduced. They are all native to the area. The big problem in Sri Lanka is habitat loss due to the population growth and development in rural areas so these protected areas are so important to give the wildlife their own space. The elephants love all the bush here and the ones outside the parks are coming into conflict with villages as they go raiding the crops.
      It's not uncommon to see an elephant wandering down the road even outside these protected areas.
      The safari was even better than we could have ever imagined. I wish we had better cameras as we could have shown a lot more that we couldn't capture through the lens.
      It's a true natural heaven here. ❤️

    You are really lucky to see all those animals. The environment shows this recording is more than 1 year old because we had rain since last year August and jungle is green throughout the past year 😊

    Hi M&L,
    What a an interesting place to visit.
    It almost felt like an African Safari.
    Pity that some shots were from distance but carrying camera w/ long lenses isn't practical when backpacking 🤷🏻‍♂️
    I don't recall you mentioning the price or did you?
    BTW do they feed the animals or do the carnivores hunt whatever is there?
    Thanks for the upload, catch you guys on Saturday. Till then have fun 🙋🏻‍♂️

    • @FrugalTravellers
      @FrugalTravellers  3 місяці тому +3

      Hello SERGIO 👋
      Thank you for your great comment on our amazing Yala National Park safari. It certainly reminded us of some of the safaris we went on in Africa in 2011... unfortunately pre-Frugal Travellers so no videos of those incredible experiences.
      Lee mentioned the price at 16:23 which was near the end, I think to build suspense but that obviously backfired 🤣 It was €50 each for the morning trip, and it was so worth every cent 😀😁
      As Yala is a National park, they don't feed or intervene with the animals...it's pure Nature!
      We hope you have an excellent week and we look forward to chatting with you on Saturday. As always, thank you so much, SERGIO for your support and your great comments 🙏🤗 ~ Mandy

      It's not like it's expensive but since everything was so cheap in the previous videos I would not have expected that.
      Chat later Mandy 🙋🏻‍♂️

    Congratulations on seeing a leopard!! Your video brought back some fond memories. We entered the park from the north and exited south on the way towards Galle. Don’t recall those roads being so rough but might be forgetting that detail. The BIG thing for us was seeing a white adult leopard (not sure if it was a male or female). We were in a jeep like yours and could see wonderfully from the back. Was in an area with tall (1m) grasses on both sides of the road and out of nowhere a leopard crossed the road in front of us. Couldn’t care less about us. 😂 We all saw it except one person-my better half. To this day I don’t know how she missed it. 🤷 Enjoy tea country. ☕️ 👋🏻

    • @FrugalTravellers
      @FrugalTravellers  3 місяці тому +2

      There's nothing like that leopard sighting feeling 😍. So sorry for the missus that she missed it. I'd be gutted. Maybe it's a good excuse to go back. 😊
      We did many safaris on our 10 month truck expedition around Africa and nowhere there did we see such a variety of wildlife condensed in such a small area. It was amazing! 😍
      The driver was awesome. He wasn't afraid to take some of the washed out back roads to find the wildlife. Made it a real adventure. From our experience I'd so recommend it and I'd really like to return and do it again. Maybe try one of the other parks next time. 👍😊
