Safari

Safari experience in Sri Lanka is a truly spectacular combination of wildlife, nature, and adventure. Popular safari destinations are Yala, Udawalawe, Wilpattu, Wasgamuwa, Minneriya, Bundala and Kumana. The most popular and most visited safari destination is the Yala National Park. Yala is the place to go if you want to see leopards wandering around in their natural habitats. Whilst Minneriya takes the crown as the number one safari experience in Sri Lanka to watch elephants, Udawalawe is also very popular to observe wild elephants. Located near Anuradhapura, Wilpattu is a beautiful National Park where the safari-goers will come in face to face with leopards.

For bird-watching enthusiasts Bundala and Kumana are must visit National Parks. For a safari experience on a boat, Gal Oya National Park is the go-to locale with a beautiful lake and here you will witness elephants swimming across the lake to reach the small islands amid the lake.
