Experience highland wilderness where leopards roam misty plains and forests.
A Leopard Safari Horton Plains offers a safari like no other in Sri Lanka. The park is set high in the misty mountains, where grasslands meet thick forests. Because of its altitude, the climate is fresh and cool, making it a refreshing change from lowland parks.
Leopards live here, but they are harder to see. Therefore, every sighting feels rare and special. Sometimes, they cross the open plains or rest near the forest edge. In addition, Horton Plains is home to herds of sambar deer, wild boars, and many rare bird species.
One of the highlights of this safari is World’s End, a dramatic viewpoint where the land drops steeply into the valleys below. The scenery is breathtaking, and combined with wildlife encounters, it makes Horton Plains an unforgettable adventure.

Overview
A leopard-watching safari is the best way to see Sri Lanka’s most famous predator. Leopards live in forests, grasslands, and rocky areas. Each drive gives you a chance to watch them in the wild.
You will also meet elephants, deer, monkeys, and many birds. Guides know the best routes and the right times for sightings. First, you explore open plains. Then, you move into shaded forests. Later, you enjoy meals in scenic spots. Finally, as the sun sets, leopards often appear again.
Leopards in Sri Lanka are unique. They are larger than those in many other countries. Because there are no lions or tigers here, leopards are the top predator. This makes Sri Lanka one of the best places in the world to spot them.
In addition, leopards are not the only highlight. Herds of elephants, colorful peacocks, and rare owls also cross your path. With expert guidance and smooth planning, every moment of this safari feels rewarding.
