Sri Lanka is truly a natural wonderland home to an abundance of wildlife, and with the many national parks dotted across the country travellers have the flexibility to enjoy wildlife in all corners of the country. Get up close and personal with countless animals from the magnificent Asian Elephant to the solitary Sri Lankan leopard, to the buffalo and not forgetting the oceans where blue wales can often be spotted. Visiting conservation projects, like turtle hatching, are the perfect break from reading your book on the golden beaches of the South Coast, not to mention fun and educational for children too. With so much to see Sri Lanka really is a must visit destination for wildlife lovers.

  • Visit an Elephant Camp and support them in their meaningful work to rehabilitate orphaned elephant calves before releasing them back into the wild where they belong
  • Join a game drive in Yala National Park and keep an eye out for the Sri Lankan Leopard and buffalo
  • Explore Galle Fort joined by a local host, one of the last remaining living forts in the world dating back to the 17th century
  • Hop onto your luxury catamaran for a private whale watching experience and spend the morning in awe as you get up close to sperm wales, blue wales and dolphins
  • Embark on a trek through Kanneliya Rainforest accompanied by your own eagle-eyed tracker who will point out the wildlife around you
