Sri Lanka’s wildlife is as varied as the island itself, ranging from elephants and leopards to egg-laying turtles and a huge variety of birds. With 12 per cent of the country designated for wildlife protection it is easy to get a taste of Sri Lankan wildlife. Safari parks and sanctuaries, particularly in the southern and central zones, offer the easiest way to see animals in their natural habitat. Stay alert for a sighting of the endangered leopard; take your time as you watch the elephants feeding and washing in a tank or lagoon; or walk quietly near to the turtles until they stop to lay their eggs.
A visit to the Sri Lankan jungles is to enter a whole new world where nature has largely stayed still.
Sri Lanka is a country of spectacular beauty and gentle, gracious people. There’s tremendous diversity in topography and scenery. Its diversity varies from the famous sandy beaches to the game reserves in the bush country to the unbelievable highlands and the tea plantations to the lush forests and jungles.
