Safari and Wildlife

While Sri Lanka might conjure up images of sun, sea and sand, this emerald island is also teeming with wildlife. Sri Lanka’s unique natural habitats are home to some 92 species of mammal and over 440 species of bird – that’s plenty to keep even the most experienced wildlife lover occupied.

You can visit any or all of four national parks, but the best is undoubtedly Yala. Located by the sea, Yala is a true paradise. Its beautiful and diverse habitats – lush jungle, rocky outcrops, fresh-water lakes, rivers, beaches – are rich in incredible flora and fauna. Take a wildlife safari here and you may encounter herds of wild elephant, the elusive leopard, the sloth bear, the golden jackal, the mongoose, chattering monkeys and wild buffalo. And everywhere you look you’ll see a flutter and a flurry of brilliantly coloured dragonflies and butterflies.

Experiencing all this doesn’t mean you’ll have to rough it. Sri Lanka now offers some of the best jungle accommodation in South Asia. Take a luxury mobile tented safari and let your expert team guide you through the jungle and pamper you with gourmet meals and hot showers. Or stay in an award-winning boutique resort in the thick of the jungle. Either way, you’ll discover that Sri Lanka is a unique and refreshing wildlife safari destination.
