Private whale watching from a chartered boat
Four game drives within Yala and Udawalawe national parks
Visit Sinharaja Rainforest and Dickwella Beach
Enjoy the benefit of naturalist guides throughout the tour

Start and end in Colombo, the "Wild Sri Lanka" trip is a guided wildlife tour that takes 10 days. You will travel through Tissamaharama, Sinharaja, Udawalawe and 3 other destinations in Sri Lanka. "Wild Sri Lanka" is a small group trip which includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Sri Lanka is well known for cultural heritage and picture-perfect beaches, but perhaps less known is that it’s one of the best locations in Asia for wildlife. The wide range of altitudes on this small island results in a variation of climates and diversity that is normally only found across a whole continent. Blue whales congregate off the southern coast, elephant herds gather in Udawalawe and the elusive leopard rules in Yala. As well as game drives in the most famous national parks in Sri Lanka, we visit the steamy Sinharaja Rainforest and relax on the south coast, where the warm waters of the Indian Ocean lap the shore.
