Leopards in Sri Lanka: A Wildlife Treasure
Sri Lanka is renowned for its high leopard density, making it the most sought-after destination globally for leopard sightings. The Sri Lankan leopard, an endemic subspecies, thrives in various national parks across the island. Unlike other regions where leopards are elusive, Sri Lanka offers relatively easier and more frequent sightings, enhancing the safari experience. As the apex predator in Sri Lanka, leopards often hunt during the day, providing unique and thrilling opportunities for observation. This unique accessibility makes leopard safaris in Sri Lanka a must-do for any wildlife lover.

Leopards in the Mountains: Horton Plains and Beyond
Leopards in the highlands of Sri Lanka, particularly in Horton Plains National Park, offer a unique safari experience. The montane grasslands and cloud forests of Horton Plains provide a stark contrast to the lowland jungles, showcasing the adaptability of leopards in Sri Lanka. While sightings are rarer due to the challenging terrain and dense vegetation, the opportunity to spot a leopard in this pristine environment is a rewarding experience for any wildlife enthusiast.
Leopard Safaris in Lesser-Known Parks
Beyond the famous parks, Sri Lanka’s lesser-known parks like Kumana offer exciting opportunities for leopard safaris. Kumana, located in the eastern part of the island, is known for its rich birdlife and also harbors a healthy population of leopards.
