Extraordinary wildlife adventures await you!
Sri Lanka may be a small island, but its rich biodiversity would do justice to a country many times its size. Wildlife safari Sri Lanka consists of truly wondrous experiences that will make you fall in love with the place and never want to leave!
Sri Lanka Wildlife Safari: Wildlife in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka is teeming with wildlife. Any traveller will be mesmerized by the magnificent sight of great herds of elephants, elusive leopards, species of monkeys, endemic sloth bears, varieties of deer and so much more on wildlife safari Sri Lanka. There are many exciting and family-friendly wildlife safaris to choose from and we promise you a great time! Of the 102 species of mammal, the pride of place goes to the majestic elephant - the second largest surviving terrestrial mammal today. These fascinating animals can be seen with relative ease in most of the parks, in large herds of extended families as well as lone males on a Sri Lanka wildlife safari.
Sri Lanka is also famous for the beautiful solitary leopard. This adaptable predator is best sighted at dawn or dusk when coming out from the shade of the trees to hunt. Other predatory animals found on a wildlife safari Sri Lanka include the sloth bear, golden jackal and mongooses.
Primates such as common langurs and a wide variety of monkeys (such as the endemic macaque, purple-faced leaf monkey and shaggy bear monkey) demonstrate their remarkable agility by swinging from branch to branch, often in huge troops.
Our 4WD jeep safaris take place early morning and late afternoon ensuring the optimum times for wildlife observations. All vehicles are checked before each safari in line with National Tour Operator safety standards.
Sri Lanka Wildlife Safari: National Parks in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka boasts a number of National Parks in which you can enjoy wildlife safaris to your heart’s content.
The second largest park in the country, this park is very popular with visitors. The area around Yala has also played host to several ancient civilizations.
On a Sri Lanka wildlife safari, you’ll get to see your favourite animals, take lots of photographs, experience our people with their ready smiles and pleasing personalities, and take home lots of good memories of a fabulous holiday.
