However, three of them were closed during October for animal protection reasons. October is a dry season and the animals do have a hard time searching for food and water in the area. So visitors are not allowed to enter, in order not to disorientate the animals from their survival path.
The Leopard is the Queen at Yala’s National Park, given the fact that Yala has the most densely populated leopard presence on earth. Around 40 leopards are believed to roam the area, but sightings of these elusive creatures are still very rare. I was completely prepared for such a case.

CHECKING IN AT CINNAMON WILD YALA
My living experience at Yala National Park started when I checked in at my private Chalet at Cinnamon Wild Yala; literally in the middle of nowhere! The Resort is only 5 minutes away from the famous Park and it’s the best choice for those who want to experience a Jungle Adventure compined with a Wonderful Safari during their stay.
It is a Luxury Lodge in the heart of the forest, just a few meters away from elephants and buffaloes that use to take a daily break from their busy hunt - just next to your room! There is an outside pool as well as access to the beach - access with is usually forbidden without escort though - as the animals move freely around the jungle and it's kinda dangerous. There lies the magic though, right?
With local and artistic hues, the decoration was fantastic, while the private bathroom and the King Size Bed created a fairytale-like scenery during my stay! It was absolutely wonderful staying there!
I visited Sri Lanka for the #TBCAsia, the largest Travel Blogger Conference in Asia, after I got chosen as one of the most influential Travel Bloggers in the world. The Cinnamon Hotels and the national carrier Sri Lankan Airlines were in charge of this Conference and I’m really looking forward to going back again next year!
SEE YOU SOON WONDERFUL SRI LANKA!
