Ali Gala 4:3 Female – YF 07 “Sandy”

Grace in the shadows of the jungle.
Resting high on her rocky throne, scanning every movement with those sharp Yala eyes. Calm… but always aware.

This is not cruelty. This is the wild, exactly as it is meant to be.

In a rare and intense encounter at Yala National Park, a mugger crocodile has caught a pangolin at the water’s edge. The pangolin, a shy and heavily armored mammal, relies on its scales for defense—but in the wild, even the best adaptations are sometimes not enough. This moment captures the raw, unscripted reality of nature, where survival, balance, and instinct rule above all else.

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of Jerome Kiel, one of the very first guides to be part of the Leopard Trails family.

To us, he was more than a guide — he was part of the Leopard Trails family. He was an exceptional guide whose depth of bush knowledge, instinctive understanding of the wild, and calm presence on safari set him apart. Such knowledge is rare, and he shared it generously with both guests and colleagues. His love for the bush, quiet passion, and the moments he created on the trails left a lasting mark on all of us. The many memories, stories, and laughs shared in the wild will forever carry his presence.

Our hearts go out to his family, friends, and everyone who had the privilege of walking this journey with him. You may be gone from the trails, but your legacy, lessons, and spirit will always remain. You will never be forgotten.

🙏

When the days get too warm and you have a bit too much energy, even a little pond can become a water park!
This little calf realises how hot the evening sun is, and strays away from her mother to find a little pond, splashes some cool water on herself and then rushes back to the safety of her mother.
Quite an adventure for the little one!

3 Trainees. 1 Wild Journey. Welcome to our new series.

We asked our newest trainees at Leopard Trails one simple question: Why the wild? To answer it, they've walked away from the lives they knew.
1. Purni , a Graduate Landscape Architect from the University of Moratuwa, trading structural design for the raw geometry of nature
2. Yohan , a seasoned freelance guide with 8 years on the ground—now handpicked to be refined into the elite Leopard Trails standard.
3. Amal , formerly a Junior Sous Chef, leaving the high-pressure kitchen to master the discipline of the wilderness.

Three different paths. One shared destination. This is the beginning of their transformation.

Last night, Yala Leopard Trails Camp came alive with the magic of Christmas. Beneath a canopy of stars, we shared a beautiful dinner filled with exceptional food, flowing drinks, and heartfelt laughter.

We are deeply grateful to our guests, guides, and dedicated team who transformed the evening into a truly unforgettable experience. It was more than a Christmas dinner — it was a celebration of togetherness, connection, and the joy of sharing special moments in the wild.

Stay tuned to see what unfolded at our Wilpattu camp.
