WILDLIFE SAFARI has been helping clients discover the exotic charm of Africa and islands

of the Indian Ocean for over forty years. Wildlife Safari is a family owned and operated

company and we take great pride in providing exceptional service. We have designed

our Private Journeys for two guests travelling in an air conditioned vehicle with

the services of a chauffeur guide while staying in a selection of the most desirable

hotels and resorts in Sri Lanka. In addition to our Private Journeys, with our intimate

knowledge of Sri Lanka and its people we will plan the perfect itinerary based entirely

around you, your desires and interests whether you are travelling as a couple, a family

or as a group of friends.

The islands of the Indian Ocean have become

an exotic melting pot of many peoples and cultures. Persian and Chinese traders sailed the

monsoon winds across the Indian Ocean to Africa for exotic treasures, spices and slaves and later

Portuguese, Dutch, French and English explorers traversed the Indian Ocean to establish their

colonial empires.

sri lankaLocated at the southern tip of Indiaand sitting three degrees above the equator, is the tear drop shaped island of Sri Lanka.

Throughout its fascinating history Sri Lanka has been given a variety of names. The ancient Greek geographers called the island Taprobane, Arab traders referred to it as Serendib, the Portuguese named it Ceilão which translated into English became Ceylon. Another name to perfectly describe Sri Lanka is paradise.

The island is captivating, steeped in history with its ancient cities, national parks of elephants, leopards, monkeys and exotic birdlife, misty mountains, vast tea and spice plantations, palm fringed golden sandy beaches, sacred Buddhist shrines and the warmth of its friendly people.

Sri Lanka is the perfect holiday destination enjoying a tropical climate that is warm and humid all year round. Generally the best time to visit is from November to March however the cultural triangle is also enjoyed from April to September.

The south west monsoon brings tropical rains from May to July in the south, west and central regions while during December and January the north east monsoon carries tropical rains to the north.

WILDLIFE SAFARI has designed a collection of private journeys guaranteed to depart on any day of the week you choose to travel. Staying in unique hotels, tea planter’s bungalows, boutique hotels and stylish resorts you will travel in air conditioned comfort in your private vehicle accompanied by an English speaking driver guide who will show you the many delights of this gem of an island. OR you may prefer Wildlife Safari to custom design a Sri Lanka tour to suit your special interests and desires.
