Episode 9 - "Safari parks of Southern Sri Lanka" What is a Sri Lankan Yala National park's Safari really like? Are they worth the price? Today we review two national park safaris, Yala National Park and Udawalawe National Park. Don't worry, we show you the good, and the bad so you can see exactly what it's like on safari here in Sri Lanka.
Yala is famous for leopards and Udawalawe is more geared towards people looking to escape the crowds and see more elephants.

We wanna show you how to travel, backpack, or budget your way around the amazing island of Sri Lanka. We travel in an iconic Tuktuk 3wheeler around the beaches and hills and eat streetfood the whole trip around. How far will our $1000 budget stretch?

There are estimated more than 100 leopards living in block 1of yala National Park,and yeah you guys are correct it’s very unethical the way jeep drivers behave in the park specially when it comes to leopard sightings😔 the officials must band the use of mobile phones inside the park for the betterment of the wild life,plus the maximum speed that you can drive inside the the park is 50kmph anything beyond that is against the law.

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 for highlighting not just the unbelievable wildlife in Yala but also the side we don’t usually see in the travel vlogs - the crazy amounts of jeeps vying for a glimpse of one leapard. I hope this episode will bring about some much needed regulations for sustainable tourism so these usually shy elusive creatures can live stress free in their only habitat on the island. Very grateful to The Budgeteers for speaking up for the majestic elephants in chains used to entertain tourists, and also for the wild ones being fed just for a photo op. They in turn become a nuisance and we know what happens next. This was by far my very favorite episode of your travels in SL. 🙏🏽

Well there is a strict regulation for speed inside national parks. The speed should be 25kmph and of you exceed the fine is 25000 for a truck or 15day ban to enter the park. Some parks are very strict and they have cameras to monitor the speed. If you guys are still in srilanka visit Wilpattu National Park. You will see many leopards 🐆 and bears 🐻 and 10times less jeeps. Also Visit Minneriya or Wasgamuwa park where if you are lucky you will see more than 100 elephants together

I first came across you guys in Series 2. I binge watched it & loved it. While I enjoyed the adventures on the road, my only criticism was that it didn't really show the locations very well. It was mostly about hitchhiking: more about the route than the destination. Series 3 rectified that shortcoming. Series 4 is even better!!

Another beautiful episode. 8000 more for the silver play button. Fingers crossed. !!!! And again thank you guys for putting out the ugly aspect of these wild parks. As you guys correctly mentioned there are several wild life sanctuaries here in SL. Yala and Minneriya(Elephants) are the ones mostly plagued by the safari jeep menace. There had been one or two incidents where these magnificent creatures were hit on the park roads and killed. I think There are laws limiting number of jeeps that can enter park on a day currently. But the speed limit laws must be also looked at seriously and ways to implement them practically. Thanks guys!!!

Thanks for the video. My honest opinion on Yala and the overcrowding situation. Its a catch 22 when it comes to the overcrowding. Most national parks, from Maasai Mara in Kenya to Ranthambore in India all are open parks which allow quite a number of visitors to the parks to come and enjoy the beauty of its wildlife. Now yala is the most popular national park in Sri Lanka, for many reasons, and the chances of having sightings of wildlife especially leopards being number 1. So being open to the public, many local and foreign vistors flock to the park to get their chances in seeing these elusive animals. Now at a sighting in this video its actually much less than when its full peak season where its insane. The issue is this. All visitors who come want to catch a glimpse of a leopard, and the drivers are pressured to show them. Now the problem is sightings are rare and only one or two sightings happen per day. This means of course there is a large crowd wanting to see these beautiful cats. Thing is if visitors feel the experience itself is somewhat bad as there are so many jeeps in line to watch, then the only solution is to limit the number of jeeps entering the park per day and jack up the price to match the potential revenue the park will get per person to make it a high end exclusive experience. This of course is ideal for wildlife as well as to promote high end tourism. but this would mean thousands of visitors are going to be left out, plus thousands of people left unemployed due to hotels, jeep services and guest houses having to close down. The sad reality is these protected habitats now need to bring in some worth monetary wise to justify its protection. Hence its a catch 22 situation.

The safari scène with the lepard, ow yeah had myself the same situation back in 2005 when we visited Tanzania Africa. We did some safari drives in the early morning and once the radio got Hot, all trucks and jeeps did the same unethical thing. And whith a video edit, sound or just a picture/photo, it does not tell the whole story. So thanks for showing how it realy goes.

Hey Guys brilliant as always well done 👍 just my two cents regarding the Leopard sighting. I was a professional safari ranger in South Africa for 14 years and worked in lots of private game reserves, all of which were run very ethically and ensured that the animals well being was never compromised. Possibly Yala Park needs to be sent some feedback to ensure that the animals well being is maintained and the parks image in the public eye. We only ever had 3 safari jeeps in a sighting and we kept a safe and ethical distance from the animal being viewed as to not stress the animal in any way. Speed limit is a huge worry besides the dust I saw your driver leaving behind for other poor guest to eat it’s dangerous and reckless as well small birds, reptiles and animals are killed. I would love to see a wild Asian leopard after spending years tracking, photographing and viewing their African cousins however after seeing what you experience am a bit reticent now. Thanks again am pumped for Sri Lanka after your awesome series well done 😊🙏💪

@TheBudgeteers 4 жыл бұрын

Wooow thats so interesting. Thanks so much for commenting! We would've loved to have you along on that safari 😁 Your points are really valid. Thank you. The Sri Lankan nature is fantastic so I hope you can still visit Sri Lanka, and see that asian cousin of your african leapord yourself. it still has lots of other national parks so enough wild animals to track and spot. Yala is just too popular since its close to the southern beaches. Hopefully things improve 😊🤞

You guys are lucky to take those amazing shots. It is like you pass the degree and got the certificate no matter what hardships you have undergone to achieve the results. It will long last. But seeing your programme wild life people in Sri lanka will take some steps to improve situations.

Excellent episode and I love your honesty. Letting people see these beautiful creatures is making them realise we must not let them disappear which is wonderful but we need to allow wild animals to be wild and not ‘socialised’ with humans because we are the most dangerous species on this planet. The most uncomfortable I have ever been was on a trip in Turkey where we went to see some ruins and to spend time at a beach and the tour unexpectedly took us to ‘The house of the virgin Mary’ where an open air mass was being held. We were dressed for the beach in shorts and bikini tops and didn’t have our sarongs and scarves with us. I have never felt more disrespectful in my life. It taught me to take them with me on every trip!

It will be interesting to see how they deal with becoming social media celebs. I mean, we all want them to succeed but now they'll have a bigger budget. Maybe they'll just go upscale a bit and do a budgeteers episode on hoe to rent a cat in the Bahamas for $3k a pop.... etc. Go up and down the budget scale and still show people in each budget range how to get the most bang for their buck. But this video shows that they are ready to go to the next level based on the absolutely amazing video quality and editing shown here, plus the whole damn story backing it up. They just need to own their success and have Paddy out there in front talking about the actual costs of doing higher budget trips, lower budget trips, and everything in between.

you would think there was a system for the jeeps to get in and out once you see the animals. It was just a bottle neck. Awesome to see a leopard in the wild though.
