The team at Ceylon Wild Safaris has the pleasure of educating safari enthusiasts on everything from Avian Fauna to Pachyderms. On top of a professional and ethical guided wilderness experience, our team are also passionate wildlife photographers who happily share their knowledge and photography with all of our guests. We recently had a fantastic few days, traversing various trails within the Greater Yala Complex and here are some of the highlights in pictures.

With the greatest thanks to the team at @parrotfis

With the greatest thanks to the team at @parrotfishcollective and to the Department of Wildlife Conservation (Kumana National Park Office), in collaboration with Ceylon Wild Safaris, we have collectively taken the first steps towards a brighter future for the wildlife industry in Sri Lanka. It was only a few months ago that members of ParrotFishCollective and Director/Ranger Instructor, Arran Sivarajah of Ceylon Wild Safaris had a chat around the campfire regarding what two passionate entities could accomplish through collaboration and team work, in the mission to lighten up the path for our wildlife industry.
Conversations that started to spark as ideas quickly exploded into action. With just a few months of preparation, we had a well-thought-through program in place and managed to set the dates to commence what we knew was going to be a highlight event of all of our careers, both ours and the trainees. The training course was carried out by Arran and the Ceylon Wild Safaris team. It was a course that varied in modules, introducing the greater picture of the magnificent biodiversity of Sri Lanka, all the way down to the fine details of animal behavior, tracking and how to pass this information down through the correct guiding etiquette in a professional capacity. Most importantly, the course was designed to create a greater appreciation towards our island’s wildlife. We look forward to our future collaborations with the team at ParrotFishCollective and with our friends and passionate members of the Department of Wildlife Conservation. Many thanks again to everyone who played a direct or indirect role in allowing this productive event to take place in the name of wildlife conservation.

One of the most incredible predators on planet Ear

One of the most incredible predators on planet Earth, the Indian rock python (python molurus) is not a common sight and certainly not always a sight for the faint hearted. That being said, to those of us who love all kinds of wildlife, seeing this python swallow a black naped hare was quite an amazing event. Pythons have the ability to survive for months on end after a single meal and this is one of the reasons why they have been such successful survivors over so many years. Amazing!

Ellie is a proud mother. We have followed this gorgeous female since she was just so young. She successfully raised her first young cub since late 2017, a male who is now fully grown and has taken on the wilds by himself. Today, for the first time, the Ceylon Wild Safaris team spotted Ellie with her second litter and this time she has taken on the challenge of raising two! We look forward to seeing this attentive mother, Ellie, in the near future with her two young ones again soon.

A sighting shared with @islandje and the guests at Ceylon Wild Safaris.

Safaris are all about having a great time, learnin

Safaris are all about having a great time, learning about the natural world in all of its beauty. That being said, once in a while, when least expected, the jungle folk alarm the presence of a very special predator. A predator so beautiful that although appears as death to its prey, appears as a gift from nature to us. We sit in silence, patiently waiting for the queen of the wilds to emerge from the shadows. As she does, a detailed memory is imprinted, an emotional contact never to be broken or forgotten. The leopard comes into view and steps into one's soul.

When she steps out of the shadows and into the light, her true beauty is revealed. Her whiskers glisten, the skin over her shoulders lift, shining gold in the sunbeams alternatively with her gait. One can only wonder what plans she has, what desires, what future. The leopard is by far the most mesmerising feline on earth.

The waves of vibrant colours that drape from an Indian peafowl shimmer in the dim light of a falling sun. A form of beauty that only nature can make 🙏

As an adventurous and exciting day comes to an end

As an adventurous and exciting day comes to an end, a sea of red floods the evening skies. Egrets print their silhouettes across the vibrant canvas and the trees become waves of shadow. A sunset in the wilderness is a sight that will never leave you but may only leave you wonder; what will nightfall bring to one's surroundings. 🙏

Campfire nights at Ceylon Wild Safaris are a time for story telling and laughs with great company. Beneath the stars as if glitter were thrown across the skies, we sit with a crackling fire and discuss the exciting moments experienced on our sunset safari.

The journey along our camp road is an experience in itself for our guests as we find more and more butterfly arenas appear across the mud puddles. Mottled and lemon emigrants flood the paths and a walk through them as we approach our wilderness home is absolutely beautiful!
Many thanks to @annelie_wambeek for the amazing video!

GREAT NEWS FROM OUR CONSERVATION PROJECT! Since t

GREAT NEWS FROM OUR CONSERVATION PROJECT!
Since the beginning of Ceylon Wild Safaris we have pledged and committed ourselves to wildlife conservation and the preservation of wilderness lands. With incredible effort from the entire team and with the introduction of our reforestation project, we have been continuously rewarded with the good news of endangered species beginning to move in and live comfortably in the areas which we have taken under our wing for reforestation and preservation. Last night, captured by one of our camera traps, we witness the very first sloth bear in the nearby vicinity of the camp, in one of the zones taken under our conservation project! A HUGE thanks to everyone who has contributed to our efforts and our mission!

It seems that sunday has been taken quite traditionally by the Varahana siblings. Brother and sister with their full bellies, cuddled up in a tree with the laziest pose they could possibly be in! A morning spent with these two really set our sunday vibes 🙏
