Join jeep safaris, bush walks, boat excursions, night drives, and night walks to forge a unique and personal connection with the wildlife.

Despite its small size, Sri Lanka, owing to its incredible variety of wildlife, proudly ranks among the world’s best destinations for big game. This ecological richness can be attributed in part to Sri Lanka’s fascinating geological history: around 10,000 years ago, the current island was connected to the Eurasian landmass before rising sea levels isolated large land animals, shaping the distinctive ecosystems that you’ll have the opportunity to explore in this intriguing nation.
