This short Sri Lanka wildlife & beach holiday is ideal for those looking to visit Sri Lanka's Yala National Park in combination with a few nights relaxation on the beach.

The trip includes Game Drives in Yala National Park, home to the world's highest concentration of leopards.

From Yala, head to the beautiful Galle Coast or the Southern Coast for a few nights by the beach.

It's also possible to add a day excursion to historic Galle with its atmospheric old Fort area.

This short Sri Lanka wildlife holiday can be tailored to your interests and timescales, with additional nights in Yala, visits to other National Parks in Sri Lanka and more or less time on the beach - just let us know your interests.

Is this a Private Tour or a Group Tour?

All of our tours are private tailor made itineraries, customised for you - we can amend things to entirely suit you.

You will have your own private car and chauffeur-guide on excursions and transfers between destinations.

Sri Lanka differs from many other destinations in this respect - the driver doubles as the guide.

What are the departure dates?

Let us know your preferred dates of travel and we will find the best and most suitable flights to fit your itinerary.

As this is a private tour, there are no set departure dates.

Which Airlines do you use?

We work with all the major airlines flying to Sri Lanka.

Typically for Sri Lanka, Sri Lankan Airlines, British Airways and Emirates are the airlines we most often use.

However, just let us know your preferred airline if you have one. We can organise flights from any regional destination in the UK.

Sri Lankan Airlines and British Airways fly directly to Sri Lanka and Sri Lankan Airlines and Emirates are both great options for combining Sri Lanka with the Maldives.

Which Hotels do you use?

We're careful with our choice of hotels in Sri Lanka, but we're guided by our customers also. If you have some preferred hotels, just let us know.

We specialise in boutique hotels and so we will often suggest some of our favourite smaller hotels where we think these will be suitable.

We keep on top of hotel developments in Sri Lanka through our own inspection trips and also through the expertise of our local partners. We also keep tabs on feedback online and from our customers.

Sri Lanka has a really great choice of boutique hotels and some excellent luxury hotels.

Yala National Park

One of Sri Lanka’s prime wildlife parks, Yala covers almost 1000 square kilometres of parkland, jungle, beaches, rivers, scrubland and freshwater lakes.

The park offers some of the best wildlife in Sri Lanka because of the diverse landscapes.

Surprisingly, Yala has the highest concentration of leopards anywhere in the world.

There are also elephants, wild boar, crocodiles, monkeys, eagles and many other species of bird.

Including Yala on a tour of Sri Lanka is a great way to get close to Sri Lanka’s wildlife.

Galle

Wonderfully enigmatic and atmospheric, Galle Fort is a World Heritage designated area consisting of quiet streets lined with traditional houses, high quality antique shops, old churches and the occasional luxury boutique hotel.

The area close to the fort and Galle town also has some fantastic beaches and some of the best boutique hotels in Sri Lanka.
