Leopards live in Udawalawe, but they are elusive and sightings are rare. If seeing a leopard is your top priority, other parks may give you better odds. If you are here anyway, keep your eyes open.
Improving your chances
- Go on both morning and afternoon drives
- Scan tree branches and rocky outcrops
- Listen for alarm calls from deer and monkeys
Respect the animal
If you are lucky enough to see one, keep your distance and your voice low. Crowding jeeps around a leopard stresses the animal and spoils the moment for everyone.
