My partner and I did a two day one night stay at Camp Leopard. In that time we did a dusk and dawn Safari, and the experience was INCREDIBLE! Everything from the accomodation, the staff, the food, the safari to the camp’s dogs was amazing! We arrived outside of the camp grounds and were greeted by Chathu, our safari guide and wildlife expert. Chathu is a positive person with a great sense of humour. She made us feel very welcome before the three of us hopped in the back of the truck to be taken to Camp Leopard. When we arrived, we were greeted by the rest of the Camp Leopard team, Tharaka, Milhara, Laiiya, and Handa. Along with the camp’s friendly canines. The accomodation is very nice, but be mindful you don’t leave any food in your bags. Unless you want thieves in the form of squirrels helping themselves to your items. Apparently they’re a fan of coffee sachets, as my partner found out 😂. However, we were warned. The safari itself is one of our best experiences from our time in Sri Lanka. But please note, it is luck on the day as to what animals you’ll see. You’re dealing with wildlife and it’s always a roll of the dice where that’s concerned. With that said, during our two safaris, we were blessed to see the big 5 (leopard, wild bore, water buffalo, sloth bear and elephants). The food that the camp provides is delicious. We were treated to a traditional Sri Lankan lunch and dinner during our stay, both times we were given more food than we could consume. After the dinner we had s’mores over a camp fire and good conversations with fellow guests at the camp. The experience with camp leopard is one we can’t recommend enough. And we consider it a must if you’re visiting Yala National Park.
