Yala
Famed for having one of the world’s highest densities of leopards, Yala Block I is a premier destination for wildlife enthusiasts. This diverse ecosystem of scrub plains, rocky outcrops, and water reservoirs also shelters elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles, and over 200 bird species. A safari here is a thrilling quest into Sri Lanka’s most iconic wilderness.
Udawalawe
Minneriya & Kaudulla
Experience one of Asia’s greatest wildlife spectacles: The Gathering. During the dry season (July to October), hundreds of elephants congregate on the verdant shores of the Minneriya and Kaudulla lakes. Witnessing these majestic herds socialize, bathe, and feed against a backdrop of ancient ruins is an unforgettable sight.
A sanctuary synonymous with the Asian elephant, Udawalawe offers almost guaranteed sightings of herds grazing and bathing near its central reservoir. The open parkland makes for excellent wildlife viewing, and the adjacent Udawalawe Elephant Transit Home adds a poignant conservation story to your visit. It’s a perfect, accessible safari for all ages.
Wilpattu
Sri Lanka’s largest and oldest national park, Wilpattu (Land of Lakes) is characterized by its unique villus-natural, sand-rimmed lakes. This less-crowded landscape offers a more serene and exploratory safari experience, with excellent chances of spotting leopards, bears, and a rich variety of wetland birds amidst its dense forest cover.
Wasgamuwa
A haven for elephant herds and a hotspot for endemic birdlife, Wasgamuwa is a rugged and less-visited gem. Nestled between the Mahaweli and Amban rivers, its terrain varies from grasslands to riverine forests, offering a sense of remote adventure and outstanding opportunities for dedicated wildlife photographers and nature lovers.
