Ceylon Wild Safaris invites you to enjoy a truly authentic safari experience. Our camps are setup in the heart of Sri Lanka’s exotic jungles giving you an opportunity to explore the island’s spectacular array of wildlife. Our camps are the epitome of natural elegance and exclusivity. Explore some of Sri Lanka’s most remote corners, complete with all the comforts and amenities of the modern explorer. We provide all inclusive packages that include game drives, accommodation, food, and drink.

Early morning and the hours preceding sunset are ideal times to view wildlife. Clients are taken on game drives during these times.

There is something for everyone at all times of the year whether it be Sloth Bear sightings during the Palu season, migratory birds during the winter months, or Leopards near waterholes during the drier months. Please contact us for more details on the best time of year to visit based on your specific requirements.
4What belongings should we bring?

5Do children accompany their parents to Ceylon Wild Safaris?
We encourage family groups and young children. A couple of nights spent at Ceylon Wild Safaris can be an exciting and educational experience for young children. We encourage them to learn the names of mammals and birds, take dips in the river, browse through our library, as well as listen to stories of the jungle around the campfire.
6What are the meals like at Ceylon Wild Safaris?
Enjoy fine cuisine prepared with the freshest ingredients by our specially trained cook and served by an attentive staff. Dine under the stars, in our dining tent or even near the wawa! We do cater to vegetarians and others with specific requirements if informed in advance. We serve a variety of Sri Lankan, Asian, and Continental cuisine.
7What if it rains? Should I visit during the monsoon?
Rain should not dampen your spirits and even during the monsoon, rain can quickly give way to sunny skies. You will be protected from the rain in your large en suite water proof customer tent, as well as in the dining tent. For mobility within camp we provide umbrellas and raincoats if required. During sunshine hours after heavy rainfall many animals such as leopards may come out into the sun to dry themselves. Some of the best photographic opportunities present themselves when the jungle takes on a richer color palette during the monsoon. In addition the monsoon season can be the best time to see birds and elephants.
8How secure are my belongings? Will there be a safe/locker?
Yes, we have safe for each tent. If you do have belongings that need to be carefully stored on safe or please hand them over to the camp manager on arrival.

We do provide charging points for small electronic devices such as laptops, mobile phones, and camera batteries. Please speak to the camp manager about charging your electronic items.
