Leave the misty tea-covered mountains behind and descend towards Sri Lanka’s wild southeast on this Highlands-to-Wild adventure.
Get picked up in the early morning from your accommodation in Ella, Haputale, Bandarawela, or Diyatalawa in a private, air-conditioned vehicle. As you drive south, watch the landscape change from lush highlands into open plains, where wildlife awaits.
Arrive at Yala National Park, one of the most celebrated parks in Asia and the best place in Sri Lanka to spot the elusive leopard. With your experienced safari guide and comfortable jeep, set off on an early-morning game drive when animals are most active.
Watch for elephants grazing, crocodiles basking, water buffalo roaming, colorful peacocks displaying, and if you’re lucky — the Sri Lankan leopard.
After the safari, head to a nearby village home where a warm Sri Lankan welcome and freshly prepared traditional lunch awaits you. Enjoy dishes made from local vegetables, rice, and curries cooked with recipes passed down through generations. This immersive experience brings you closer to Sri Lankan hospitality and flavors.
Recharged and refreshed, continue your journey in comfort as your driver transfers you directly to the southern coast. Choose drop-off at Hiriketiya, Tangalle, Mirissa, Unawatuna, or Galle — some of Sri Lanka’s most beloved beach destinations.
