Yala and other parks strictly no flash. High ISO cameras (Canon R5, Sony A7 IV, Nikon Z8 etc) handle low light. Best times: dawn (soft warm light), late afternoon golden hour. Longer lens (400-600mm) essential — animals don't come close.

Panning technique for fast animals (deer running). Continuous autofocus. Fast shutter (1/1000+). Vehicle stability: brace against jeep frame. Rental telephoto lenses in Colombo photo shops — check quality before hiring.
