Mahoora pioneered the tented safari camp concept in Sri Lanka, and their Yala setup remains one of the best ways to maximise your chances of spotting a leopard in what's officially the densest leopard population on the planet. The camp sits on a 10 acre private reserve bordering the national park itself, which means you're using the quieter Katagamuwa gate rather than fighting the crowds at the main entrance. The tents are proper glamping territory with en suite bathrooms, hot showers, flush toilets and full beds, so you get the thrill of sleeping in the bush without actually roughing it.
