Spot incredible wildlife and be at one with nature with the award-winning Leopard Safaris. Deep within the diverse landscapes of Sri Lanka, you will find the two campsites nestled alongside the impressive Yala and Wilpattu National Parks. Both renowned for their population of leopards, as well as an abundance of other animals and flora, whichever campsite you choose will grace you with unforgettable sights.

We love that the camps are eco-friendly. With non-permanent tents, al fresco dining and no artificial lighting, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped deep into the wilderness. Keeping track and protecting the wildlife in both National Parks, they use their company to conserve the natural habitats for these fantastic animals.

The camps offer South African style tents with king size beds and spacious seating areas, and there are plenty of optional activities to keep you entertained in between your two daily game drives, including photography lessons, cooking classes and wildlife walks. This safari company established by Noel Rodrigo is perfect for a unique family holiday, with excellent family tents and a whole range of fun activities for young travellers. Afterwards, tuck in to authentic Sri Lankan cuisine al fresco whilst gazing at the stars above.

This spectacular safari tour is All-Inclusive - including the beautiful tents, delicious food for every meal, brilliant game drives, National Park access, and additional activities. (LS)
