Yala National Park Safari 🇱🇰

[@worldnomac]

For those of you commenting thinking that I would avoid this tour because of the limited animal spottings, you are wrong with that interpretation and you probably commented that before watching the entire video. This is the wild, animal spottings are not guaranteed and I have no problem with that. I am saying I WILL NOT return to this safari because there are 80 jeeps all fighting to see one animal spotting. I would never recommend people to do a safari where you get stuck in lots of traffic while you are on a nature safari 🤣🤣🤣 the park regulators need to consider a new solution for this issue which is one of the main reasons I still decided to post this video.

[@shanikagayathri3653]

Got it

[@damianxavier7343]

Yala is famous for this issue. That is why I prefer wilpattu national park over yala, because there is generally a smaller crowd there and you still get to see the same animals that are in yala. Also whenever I visit wilpattu we go twice, 1 in the morning and one in the evening. From my experience we've spotted more leopards in the evening rather than morning.

[@hemanthakumara2239]

Yes machaaan. We have to address this is in some way.

[@Gadavillers-Panoir]

Yala is the perfect place to experience a traffic jam in the middle of the jungle. They should making that the main selling point. 😂

[@damianxavier7343]

In my previous comment I forgot to mention this but if you visit wilpattu you can request to go to "thambapanni". It is a unique and very beautiful place with natural copper coloured sand and beautiful blue oceans.

Wow, honestly thank you so much for this comment. I do try my best to share the good and bad parts of where I travel to. I really appreciate your support! 🙏🏻

[@BartMolkenboer]

@@worldnomac You impressed me with your mindset, I tbh thought you were just going to share positive items and subjects aswel as the standard American mindset (America is the greatest and nothing else) from everywhere around the world even when things are not as how they look. But in fact you showed me different. We will meet in the future is what time has told me, you are worth it. If you will ever want to visit Amsterdam don't bother to connect me, I'd love to give you a real dutch tour 😉, including area's around like Edam which is Worldwide known for cheese and Volendam which is known for their fishing just let me know... I'm born over there and I know how life goes here without the toxicity which flows from the Dutch humanity.

[@rajithaseneviratne4]

Hey I am surprised you havent eaten a SL Lumpries From 1658 until 1796, the coast of Sri Lanka was under Dutch rule. The Dutch Burghers (an ethnic group of mixed Dutch, Portuguese Burghers and Sri Lankan descent) came up with this delicacy. The dish itself is not a native dish to the Netherlands but is based on the Javanese meal, Lemper. Those days they didnt have refrigarators so in a tropical country they wanted to keep food longer without adding coconut milk..Coco milk make food go bad if left outside...Try only at Green Cabin in Colombo or FAB..also Duch Burgher cafe at Colombo 7

[@ws1814]

If you still wanna do a proper safari in Sri Lanka go to Wilpattu which has enough and more elephants, and other fauna.
