Once inside we bobbed along bumpy tracks, seeing bee-eaters (with their blue-green colouring), small crocodiles and egrets. We also saw a lot of water buffalo happily having their early morning soak in small water holes.
After a while we came to a safari traffic jam. Three elephants, including a baby, were blocking the road. Eventually we were able to get past, taking photos of them. Mum looked very protective of her baby as it suckled milk. We learnt from our guide that the baby elephants take milk until they are 7 years old.
However hard we tried the leopards evaded us. We had a stop on the beach at the edge of the national park and then headed back to the hotel.
This afternoon has been spent swimming, reading and eating burgers! Tomorrow we head across the south of the country to our final stop at Galle.
