The "Wild Sri Lanka" trip starts and ends in Colombo. It is a wildlife tour that takes 10 days taking you through Sinharaja, Colombo, Ahangama and 3 other destinations in Sri Lanka. "Wild Sri Lanka" is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

Sri Lanka is well known for cultural heritage and picture-perfect beaches, but perhaps less known is that it’s one of the best locations in Asia for wildlife. The wide range of altitudes on this small island results in a variation of climates and diversity that is normally only found across a whole continent. Blue whales congregate off the southern coast, elephant herds gather in Udawalawe and the elusive leopard rules in Yala. As well as game drives in the most famous national parks in Sri Lanka, we visit the steamy Sinharaja Rainforest and relax on the south coast, where the warm waters of the Indian Ocean lap the shore.
