Are there leopards in Udawalawe National Park?

Yes, Sri Lankan leopards live in Udawalawe National Park. Still, you do not see them often. They use the best spots inside the reserve, but they are tricky to spot. In most cases, they are much less visible than the park’s elephants.

If you want to see a leopard, so many things matter. Where the jeep goes, what the plants look like, the time of day, and luck all play a role. Because of this, Udawalawe should not be picked only for the hope of a leopard sighting. Udawalawe is known more for elephants. It also offers wildlife viewing across open grassland areas.
