We were unlucky and didn't see a leopard, but that was about the only bad part of this trip.
I'd also like to review our experience in Sri Lanka as a whole, including the proverbial elephant in the room at the current moment. My wife and I booked a trip to the island months ago, before the terrible events this Easter, as we had heard Sri Lanka was a great spot to do pool/beach and other fun things (like safaris) following my business trip to Delhi. We were a little apprehensive about following through on our plans, but we talked it over and determined we felt safe enough to come.
We're very glad we did. The Sri Lankan people have been effusive in their hospitality and have thanked us countless times for coming. We sincerely hope and pray that things get back to normal soon and tourists once again enjoy this wonderful island in regular numbers. We thoroughly have enjoyed our stay.
