Yala National Park: A Sri Lankan Wildlife Sanctuary Beyond Tiger Spottings

Most people who visit national parks and wildlife sanctuaries believing they are animal lovers may not be there purely for the love of wildlife. Many do not endure bumpy jeep rides under the blazing afternoon sun simply because they admire tigers or elephants; they go for two main reasons - the thrill of the chase and the desire to spot a tiger, or perhaps a lion if the park has one. [...] Yala National Park is one such place. Green landscapes stretch towards the sea, and the park is filled with animals and birds that inspire wonder. [...] Ultimately, Yala's magic comes from the interaction between its habitats.
