Wild Heart of Sri Lanka: Leopards and Elephants is an immersive Sri Lanka wildlife tour from the UK, designed for nature lovers, photographers, and adventure seekers who want to explore the island’s most untouched national parks. This 6-night escorted safari journey takes travellers deep into Sri Lanka’s wild landscapes, offering exceptional opportunities to spot leopards, elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles, and rare birdlife across multiple ecosystems.

The journey begins in Negombo, providing a gentle introduction before heading into Sri Lanka’s premier wildlife regions. Guests explore Wilpattu National Park, renowned for its natural lakes and one of the highest leopard populations in the country. Unlike more crowded parks, Wilpattu offers a quieter, more authentic safari experience, ideal for travellers seeking meaningful wildlife encounters.

Continuing inland, the tour ventures to Wasgamuwa National Park and Gal Oya National Park, two of Sri Lanka’s most remote and least-visited reserves. Gal Oya is particularly special, offering a rare boat safari experience, where elephants can often be seen swimming between islands — a truly unique highlight not found elsewhere in Sri Lanka. These experiences set this tour apart from standard Sri Lanka safari packages.

The adventure concludes in the south with visits to Udawalawe National Park, famous for large elephant herds, and Yala National Park, Sri Lanka’s most iconic wildlife reserve. Combining multiple safaris, varied landscapes, and expert-guided experiences, this tour is ideal for UK travellers seeking a short yet intense Sri Lanka wildlife holiday packed with unforgettable moments.
