tour to Yala National Park

On our fourth visit to Sri Lanka, we finally got to this attraction. Well, when we got there...the stars rose. It was the first evening at the hotel, wine, we were offered a ride from the hotel, we agreed, and early in the morning, around 5 am, we were taken by car in the direction of the park. And then we realized how good it was that we were alone. We slept on the way. We were brought to a transshipment point, where we were successfully transferred to a jeep; we picked up a guide along the way, although it felt like we were being taken in a jeep on the way back to the hotel, since the entrance to the park was too far from the transshipment. But it doesn’t matter...we are alone in the jeep, rushing with the wind towards the animals. We drove in and saw about two dozen more jeeps galloping along artificial grooves. We saw the first crowd of jeeps near the bushes with a supposed leopard. This is the feature of this park. Silence, and only the intense gazes of those around you into the bushes. And apparently we would have stood there until lunch if our guide had not realized that we were either a leopard or a cat. The advantage is that the jeep is completely at our disposal, where we want to go and go. And we galloped further over the bumps. As I understand it, speed bumps are placed every few tens of meters to limit the speed of jeeps, but it turned out that this only encourages the driver to drive faster. In short, thanks to the seats, armrests and high ceilings. Next were beautiful swamps with crocodiles, elephants and other tame animals, very, very cute. The clouds in the sky gave it a special charm. We spent a wonderful morning walking all the way to the east coast, where the safari officially ends at the Tsunami Memorial. Well, I can finish with the words: “Don’t love yourself in nature, but love nature in yourself.”
