Sri Lanka and safari are not necessarily the first combination that you would think of, but a safari for us is just the way we travel. A safari to Sri Lanka takes in the tea plantations, the cultural highlights, the towns, the cities, the rainforests, the national parks and the wild coastline and beaches. It is the culmination of all things that makes this a truly remarkable and fascinating destination and one that you should not miss. Trek the temples, eat the food, walk the tea trails, and track the leopards, whilst staying at locally authentic and comfortable camps and lodges.
The below examples showcase only a few of the ways of combining the attractions of this fascinating country. Please note however these are intended as a guide only and can be completely tailored to your specific requirements. Contact us for a bespoke quote.
