Yala Safari in Dry Season | Peak Leopard Tracking (Feb–Aug) 2026 updated
A Yala safari in the dry season (February to August) offers the most dramatic wildlife encounters. As the park bakes under the tropical sun, the brush thins out, providing unobstructed views of predators. Leopards are frequently seen lounging on granite outcrops, and large elephant herds are common near the main reservoirs. While it can be hot, the early morning and late evening drives provide perfect conditions for photography.
Experience the thrill of a Yala safari in the dry season. Low vegetation and waterhole gatherings make this the ultimate time for big cat sightings.
