The half-day escape
Follow the tracks from forest shade to open water. A shorter outing leaves room in your Sri Lankan itinerary for the journey onwards, while giving you time to settle into the park’s rhythm.
- A proposed morning or afternoon outing
- A good starting point for a shorter stay
- Ask about gate times, transfers and time inside the park

02 / Full-day safari · proposed
A day without hurry
Make space for the unexpected. A longer day gives you more time to watch, wait and appreciate the smaller stories between sightings, from a bird at the water’s edge to movement deep in the trees.
- A proposed extended day in the park
- Worth discussing for wildlife and photography interests
- Confirm meals, drinking water, rest stops and total duration

- A proposed exclusive-vehicle arrangement
