Highlights
Enjoy a seamless safari-transfer experience from the southern wildlife region to the hill country of Ella.
Your adventure begins with hotel pickup and transfer to Lunugamwehera National Park. Covering a vast area of forests, grasslands, and reservoirs, the park is known for its large elephant population, crocodiles, spotted deer, water buffalo, and over 180 species of birds. The relatively low visitor numbers make wildlife viewing more natural and relaxed compared to busier parks.
Travel through remote wilderness tracks in an open-top 4×4 safari jeep while your guide helps identify wildlife and explains the park’s unique ecosystem. During the safari you may encounter elephants gathering near waterholes, crocodiles basking along reservoir banks, and numerous endemic and migratory bird species.
After the safari, continue your scenic drive through Sri Lanka’s countryside and hill country roads before arriving in Ella, one of the island’s most popular mountain destinations.
