Signature experience

Private Safaris

The world's densest leopard population, on your own schedule.

The story

We design private safaris through Yala, Wilpattu and Kumana with master leopard trackers, sole-use 4x4 jeeps and fully-serviced tented camps. Game drives leave on your time, not the park's, and end with bush breakfasts deep in the dry forest.

Answers

Private Safaris: questions, answered.

Where is the best place for a safari in Sri Lanka?+

Yala for leopards, Wilpattu for solitude and sloth bear, Kumana for birdlife and quieter game drives. A private safari week often combines Yala with Wilpattu.

When is the best time for a Sri Lanka safari?+

February to July, when water sources dry up and wildlife concentrates around them. Avoid October and November — the second monsoon closes many tracks.
