11 NIGHTS – SRI LANKA BIRDING AND WILDLIFE
This itinerary has a combination of different wildlife experiences including birding, safaris in two national parks (Yala and Bundala) along with Whale watching in a private speed boat in Mirissa. In addition to many birding experiences, we have included an early morning trek to the Horton Plains National Park in Nuwara Eliya.
From Nuwara Eliya, travel towards Yala and stay at the Kulu Safari’s Tented Camp for 2 nights – a small wildlife camp with only 6 air-conditioned tents located in the quieter area of the park away from the crowds with easy access to the lesser used Katagamuwa Entrance.
From Yala you will drive to Sinharaja – the largest tract of natural rainforest in the country and also recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site . Sinharaja has a wide variety of endemic plant species some of which are only found in this region. During your stay we have offered another unique property – Rain Forest Eco Lodge – which consists of basic chalets constructed using eco-friendly material with minimum disturbance to the natural habitat. Here you will be engaged in nature walks and bird-watching treks to the Sinharaja Rain Forest with easy access from the lodge.
Finally, you will be driven to Colombo for an overnight in the capital before taking your flight back home.
This is a tailor-made journey and we would be happy to tweak the itinerary to suit you!
