Surprisingly my first visit to Yala for 2019 was in the 3rd week of June when I joined a group constituting wild life photographers which was organised by Rajiv Welikala who is a well known personality and a wild life enthusiast, working for Classic Travels . It was a very well organised and a comfortable trip as we stayed in a boutique hotel called
KELE for 2 nights and the accommodation set up was quite good and the food was awesome.To top it off the photography experience was also pretty good as Rajiv arranged the safari trips quite well.

Initially when we stopped we only saw the dead Rabbit and were wondering for about 20 seconds as to how it could have died and then only we saw the slight movement of the Python.
The daily team building exercises
According to GIMAL who is known as Leopard Gimal and has a good data base about the Leopards in Yala, this is EMMA one of the 2 cubs born in 2014 near Warahana area and we saw her drinking water near Warahana Bungalow around 5.45pm.

According to Gimal, this is Lucas and we got a better view on the last morning
This could have been Lucas on a tree on the first day evening.
