“Join me on an Isle of Smiles Wild Wildlife Photography Safari.”

“Taking a good wildlife photo or video starts well before the camera is in your hand. Gathering information on the animals and birds such as locations, movements, behaviour, seasons, etc., prior to going on a wildlife trip or nature walk, is one of the secrets to creating a good wildlife image.”

Shane W.G. Bayley

“You don’t necessarily need sophisticated camera equipment like this but it can help. Let us show you how to get the best out of your camera, even a small point-and-shoot or phone camera”

Shane W.G. Bayley

Scenes of Yala National Park

While most of us go to Yala National Park to see the abundant animals and birds, many miss the the sheer beauty of Yala’s scenery and landscapes. We must not lose the big picture that being in a pristine national park like Yala is an experience in nature; the trees, lakes, hills, rocky outcrops and even sunrise and sunset. The animals are only part of the whole wilderness experience. Let #isleofsmileswild by #isleofsmilessrilanka show you the complete picture of Yala.

Thank you to Ratnayaka (#yalasafaribyrathnayaka, +94 77 618 9848) our guide and safari jeep operator partner in Yala for another memorable #yalasafari.
