We have a beautiful hotel with a great view. Tomorrow morning we are up early for a safari in Yala National Park.
We are in search of the elusive leopard and we’re at the park gates at 6 am to be one of the first jeeps into the park.
Our guide spots tracks of a leopard but unfortunately this is as close as we get to spotting one. Later in the morning they did find one asleep in a tree but it was too far away for us to see.
The road is incredibly bad due to rains. Other parts of the park are closed as they are impassable. Normally December is dry but like everywhere else weather is not normal and they are having lots of rain.
Peacock putting on full display.
Water Buffalo
Wild Boar
Crocodile
Water Monitor
Cheeky little monkeys.
Typical traffic jam. Animals are loose to graze along the road. You never know what you’ll come across.
Another lovely hotel. Wish we had more time to enjoy the facilities. We usually arrive late in the day and leave early the next morning. If I had to do it over again I would spend a couple of days in each spot.
These are Stilt fishermen. They used to fish this way but it’s not practiced any more. They do this for tourists for income.
Caught a small fish while we were there.
Fresh seafood is plentiful. Pulled from the ocean that morning.
