Searching for leopards in Sri Lanka,Wilpattu and Yala National parks.
Our goal was to find Leopards in their natural habitat. Only 700 of these specimen are alive in the wild at the moment.We spend first 3 days at the nice and still quiet Wilpattu National Park. We spotted some leopards but mostly early morning or evening. Nevertheless it is a beautyful place to roam. Later we moved to Yala National Park and needed 3 full days more searching. and then, one afternoon we saw this great big cat. No other people around (rare in Yala)this leopard was crossing an open space wich gave us the opportunity to admire one of the most beautiful animals. A truly magical moment !
