Wildlife and adventures

Sri Lanka's wildlife ranges from elusive leopards and wild elephants to sea turtles and exotic birds! 

Yala National Park is known to have the highest density of leopards in the world and is a firm favourite for UK visitors. Trek through Udawattakele Nature Reserve to find hidden monasteries and ancient cave dwellings and you may be lucky enough to sight endangered birds in the tropical Sinharaja Rainforest.

These wildlife tours guide you through the richest natural habitats and wildlife regions of this amazing island nation.

Flexible private tours 

Below is an example itinerary of a journey around Sri Lanka's best wildlife parks in a few days. We are able to tailor, build and create the ideal holiday tour for you to suit your requirements including the experience you want to achieve and your budget.

Our 11-day Wildlife adventure tour is perfect for wildlife enthusiasts and those also wanting a few days at the beach after the excitement of the safari.

Tour Path

Tour Highlights

We begin your journey in the charming fishing town of Negombo a short drive away from the airport. You will stay overnight to relax after your flight so you are fully refreshed to start the tour the following morning.

A chance to see the countryside as we transfer 5 hours inland to Sinharaja Rainforest Reserve, Sri Lanka’s last remaining area of tropical jungle and rainforest, this area is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Sinharaja escapes the tourist crowds and its unspoiled lands are home to many of the island’s endemic species!

Wild elephants are the main attraction at Udawalawe National Park, followed by Yala, a southwest coastal national park with the chance to glimpse the elusive leopards.

We include a short stay in the South at the glorious beaches where you can play golf and on other excursions such as dolphin or whale watching season dependent. We end the tour at the quaint city of Galle where you can explore cobbled streets and watch the local fisherman perched on stilts at sea.

Note: If you love the look of this tour just ask us for prices, however, if you would prefer to make a few amendments, please speak with one of our Travel Specialists for a tailored option!
