Nimal was our guide for the majority of our 2 weeke trip around Sri Lanka. He drove us all over including Sigiriya, Kandy, Ella, Udawalawe, Ahangama and Galle. Nimal always went above and beyond to enrich our experience - there’s a side of Sri Lanka we wouldn’t have seen without him - especially the surfing on Ahangama beach which was not part of our original plan! We visited just after the extreme flooding in Sri Lanka and Nimal always put our safety first. Despite the effects of the flooding he still managed to drive us to all our locations on our plan. Nimal spoke to locals and tourist attractions on our behalf to ensure we weren’t overcharged on prices and also helped us to get private tours with just us and a guide often - without him we definitely wouldn’t have had the same experience. He also had lots of stories and showed us lots of interesting things on the way including buffalo curd on the side of the road and king coconuts! We’d highly recommend Nimal and will be doing so to our family and friends!
Sri Lanka Wildlife Safari
6 Days · 5 Nights private tour, hosted by Ceylon Quay
Private chauffeur · 4 signature experiences · fully customisable
This package is built for travellers who want wildlife to be the main theme of the journey rather than an added half-day stop. The route is planned to keep travel practical while giving enough time near park regions for meaningful safari experiences.
It works especially well when paired with realistic expectations: wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but this route gives you strong park access, flexible timing, and a better chance of a rewarding experience.
What makes this trip
- 01 Yala or Udawalawe safari
One or more safari sessions can be arranged depending on the final route, season, and your preference.
- 02 Elephant sightings
Sri Lanka is one of the easiest places in Asia to build a journey around elephant viewing.
- 03 Scenic nature drives
The roads between regions add value to the package instead of feeling like wasted transfer time.
- 04 National park atmosphere
The appeal of the route is not only the sightings, but the landscapes, silence, and rhythm of the safari areas.
Day-by-day
Designed to feel practical and enjoyable, not overloaded.
- Day 1
Arrival and transfer toward the nature region
Begin with a practical transfer and overnight stay closer to the safari zone, helping reduce early-morning travel strain later in the trip.
- Day 2
First safari session
Set out for your first safari drive at the most suitable time of day. The aim is to let the experience breathe rather than squeeze it around a long transfer.
- Day 3
Second wildlife-focused day
Depending on the region, include another safari, a slower nature day, or a transfer to a second wildlife base. This keeps the package varied without losing its main focus.
- Day 4
Scenic onward journey
Travel through changing landscapes and use the day as a comfortable transition between wildlife zones or toward a softer finishing region.
- Day 5
Nature, rest, or optional activity
Keep the final full day adaptable. Some guests prefer another safari, while others value a gentler day after earlier park starts.
- Day 6
Departure transfer
Travel onward to the airport or next destination according to your final travel plan.

★ 5.0 · From travellers
We requested a completely bespoke honeymoon and every single detail was perfect - boutique villa overlooking tea hills, sunrise at Sigiriya. Pure, unforgettable magic.
As a solo traveller, safety was my top priority. My guide made me feel like I had a trusted local friend at every step.
