Yala Sloth Bear Safari | Searching for the Rare Sri Lankan Bear 2026 updated
The Sri Lankan sloth bear is one of the island’s most elusive predators. A Yala sloth bear safari requires patience and a keen eye. During the "Palu" fruit season (typically May to July), these bears frequently descend from the trees, making them easier to spot. Our trackers specialize in finding these shaggy-coated animals near the ancient rock caves and dense thickets of Yala’s interior, providing a rare look at one of the park’s most mysterious inhabitants.
Book a Yala sloth bear safari, especially during the Palu fruit season. Discover the best spots to find this elusive and shaggy forest dweller.
