Wildlife Explorer

Arrive in style at Bandaranaike International Airport and transfer to your hotel, Jetwing Beach Negombo, to unwind after your flight. Be sure to get some rest and enjoy the sublime facilities. Your grand adventure starts tomorrow.

After a delicious breakfast, we embark on a journey to Wilpattu National Park, the largest national park in Sri Lanka. Soak up the country views and terrain across the journey, and prepare for a diverse wildlife experience. Meet leopards, sloth bears, deer, jackals, crocodiles, and several rare species of birds. To finish, we head to Thamaravila Wilpattu to rest after a hard day of exploring. Enjoy the state-of-the-art amenities and exceptional cuisine.

Are you ready for an entire day on safari? Once you’re ready, we journey to Wilpattu for some of the most diverse birdlife in Sri Lanka. Split by a picnic lunch, this full-day experience gives you the chance to explore the remote zones of the park and capture rare photos of painted storks, crested hawk-eagles, elephants, and monitor lizards.

It’s time to say goodbye to the grand Thamaravila after a well-earned rest – we’re heading to Habarana. Before we reach Habarana, take in the majestic wildlife on a jeep safari tour of Minneriya or Kaudulla National Park (the location depends on the elephant movement). Witness the elephant gathering along with crocodiles, sambar deer, monkeys, and wetland birds in their natural habitat. To unwind, we check in at the Jetwing Lake and rest before a unique experience the following day.

After a quick breakfast, Gal Oya National Park awaits. Known for an immersive boat safari experience, you get to explore remote, untouched landscapes with undisturbed wildlife and lush, natural surroundings. To unwind after 4.5 hours of travel, take in the beautiful surroundings on the glamping site or take a short, guided evening walk to stretch your legs.

Ready to experience Sri Lanka’s only water-based wildlife viewing experience? Meet swimming elephants, white-bellied sea eagles, kingfishers, and herons before a jungle walk with the Veddah, an indigenous community, to experience the authentic side of Sri Lanka you can’t see elsewhere.

Make sure you get some rest, because we’re heading to Yala National Park, the most popular wildlife park in the country, for a new adventure. Famous for majestic crowds of leopards, this tour offers the chance to capture enchanting wildlife photos for your collection. In the evening, if you wish, join us on a sublime sunset beach walk or take part in birdwatching around the lodge for more rare wildlife.

Get an early night before our early morning start. We embark on another jeep safari tour, this time in Yala National Park, where large populations of leopards crowd. Snap photos and see leopards, elephants, sloths, wild boar, crocodiles, and spotted deer up close and in action. After a magical afternoon at Yala National Park, it’s time for our final adventure: Galle, a coastal city with colonial roots. Visit the imposing Galle Fort and walk along the stone sea walls to experience the city’s charm. In the evening, get some rest at the luxurious Jetwing Lighthouse.

After witnessing Sri Lanka’s rare wildlife, your adventure comes to an end. Take an optional short walk in the morning and reflect on the priceless memories before your transfer to the airport.
