When is the best time for leopards?
Yala is good most of the year. The park usually closes for a few weeks around September and October; we plan around it.
Is whale watching guaranteed?
No one can guarantee sightings, but November to April in Mirissa has the best chances.
Can children join a safari?
Yes. Jeeps are suitable for families; we bring water and snacks.
