Sinharaja-rainforest (3 days)
The only remaining intact primary tropical rainforest in Sri Lanka is Sinharaja, which is situated in the southwest of the country. Many of the trees are regarded as uncommon, and over 60% of them are indigenous. In addition to the abundance of endemic animals, particularly birds, the reserve is home to more than half of Sri Lanka’s endemic butterfly and mammal species, as well as a variety of insects, unusual amphibians, and reptiles.
Wilpaththu(1 day)
Wilpattu National Park is the largest and one of the oldest national parks in Sri Lanka, covering approximately 1,317 square kilometers. Located in the northwest of the island, it is famous for its unique “willus” (natural lakes), dense forests, and diverse wildlife. The park is home to a significant population of Sri Lankan leopards, elephants, sloth bears, spotted deer, and a variety of bird species. Unlike other parks, Wilpattu offers a more secluded safari experience due to its vast landscapes and fewer visitors, making it an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts seeking tranquility and rich biodiversity.
Yala(2 days)
One of the most popular attractions in Sri Lanka is Yala National Park, which is a must-see for any traveler to the country because of its thrilling jungle ride. As the name suggests, the jungle is untamed, and you quickly come to the realization that it doesn’t matter when time of day you enter it! As your Sri Lanka itinerary indicated, you arrive to see the captivating leopards, enormous elephants, and several colorful bird species chittering and chattering while perched on tree branches.
Udawalawa (2 days)
Udawalawe National Park is one of Sri Lanka’s most popular wildlife reserves, known for its large population of Sri Lankan elephants. Covering approximately 308 square kilometers, it is located in the dry zone, featuring open grasslands, scrublands, and the Udawalawe Reservoir, which serves as a vital water source for wildlife. The park is an excellent place to spot elephants up close, along with water buffalo, spotted deer, crocodiles, and a variety of bird species. A two-day safari allows ample time to explore different areas of the park, witness diverse animal behaviors, and enjoy breathtaking sunrise and sunset views over the vast landscapes.
