Nature & Wildlife Holidays in Sri Lanka:
Sri Lanka’s buzzing with life – the subtropical air practically sings with insects, and the jungles and forests teem with creatures, big and small. We love wildlife holidays in Sri Lanka.
Keep your eyes peeled for bright-green lizards, cheeky monkeys, and Sri Lanka’s own ‘Big Five’ – the Asian elephant, leopard, sloth bear, sperm whale, and the colossal blue whale.
This island is paradise for nature lovers, and we’ll help you experience it at its wildest – with naturalists who know just where to look. You’ll leave having explored a wide variety of its lovely landscapes by foot, by boat and by rail, too.
