Wildlife & Nature
Wake up and look out the window and chances are you will see at least a few creatures in the first minute. This is why most travellers are simply wowed by the sheer diversity and abundance of wildlife. The air is always full of bird calls by day and the cacophony of crickets and amphibians by night. So if your heart calls for the wild this is the island that will respond.
If photography is your thing and the wilderness and its beautiful creatures your muse, Sri Lanka is truly a paradise. There are limitless options for wildlife and bird watching photography in Sri Lanka given the sheer diversity in geography and climatic conditions, which then bring about the fantastic diversity in wildlife and birdlife. These tours can be organized as the main element of your tour or a fun extra.
Given the beautiful coastline and its inherent diversity of marine life and features, marine photography is a well-established activity in Sri Lanka. With many locals practicing and loads of helpful guides your hopes of capturing some of this beauty for yourself is super easy. But of course we will make those connections and guide you along the way so you get the most time invested in what you love and less time fretting over the logistics.
Sri Lanka is oftentimes referred to as the next best destination to Africa when it comes to a wildlife Safari. With over 20 National parks and 50 sanctuaries, each different from the other and a thriving industry around them, Sri Lanka is a wonderful place for the young and old wildlife lover. Witness herds of elephants, the elusive Sri Lankan leopard and bear and an abundance of birdlife everywhere you look on your Sri Lankan Safari.
Sri Lanka takes pride in its wildlife and despite the exploding human population and the challenges it poses to wildlife, a dynamic and passionate group of activists and enthusiasts have and continue to uphold the protection of the wilderness through various conservation programmes. We ourselves champion this in all we do through our unwavering commitment to sustainability. However if wildlife conservation is not just a concern but an actual passion, we would love to make it a key part of your Sri Lankan tour.
Sri Lanka is currently witnessing several programmes focused on coral replanting. Some of these are done through companies in the travel industry while others are done by private and international organizations and these efforts take place in several areas where coral damage has occurred. Various guidelines are also being developed in this regard. Please speak to us to explore this activity and play a part in preserving and regenerating Sri Lanka’s coral treasures.
Given the many man made tanks (reservoirs), lagoons, rivers and bays Sri Lanka is very much an island where water is everywhere you look. And taking a boat safari is a wonderful way to observe both the beautiful nature and the local lifestyle at a leisurely pace. Boat safaris are available in most destinations and will be worked into your holiday. And if this is something you would prefer to be the key aspect of your Sri Lankan holiday we can make that happen too.
