A morning safari in Gal Oya starts early, offering the best chance to see elephants, leopards, and other wildlife before the day heats up. As you traverse the park’s forested areas and open plains, you may encounter sambar deer, wild boar, and, if lucky, the elusive sloth bear. Birdwatchers will appreciate sightings of species like the grey-headed fish eagle and colorful kingfishers around the waterways. Morning safaris typically last until mid-morning, providing a brief but charming experience that captures Gal Oya’s vibrant natural beauty.
