Reading that parks have been managing mud ponds and water points in the dry spell. For Yala or Wilpattu next week, does that change when jeeps linger at waterholes - still morning best, or shift later.

Morning is still best. Animals use active water points early; afternoon heat just adds glare and naps.

Ask your tracker which ponds are holding water that week. The map of useful holes moves with the dry spell.

Book the morning jeep either way. Do not overthink the headline - trackers already chase the wet spots.
