Sri Lanka's National Park Holidays
asia
Yala National Park is one of the largest (and busiest) national parks in Sri Lanka and boasts a varied terrain of dry woodland and grassy plains which supports an abundance of wildlife. It is home to a large number of elephants, spotted deer, sambar deer, wild buffalo, jackals, mongoose and crocodiles. The park also boasts one of the highest densities of leopards in the world, but they are elusive creatures so any sighting is sure to be a highlight.
This ecologically diverse country is bursting with exotic wildlife, and an animal encounter is high on many visitors’ lists. For those looking to experience Sri Lanka's superb wildlife with less crowds, why not include a stay in the national parks of Udawalawe, Sinharaja, or Wilpattu? Udawalawe is home to a large population of elephants with the Elephant Transit Home close by - a well run sanctuary for orphaned elephants, whereas Sinharaja has the only extensive area of primary rainforest in Sri Lanka with diverse flora and fauna and is brilliant for trekking to spot birdlife. Wilpattu offers a good variety of wildlife including elephant, sloth bear, spotted deer & leopard.
A stay at one of our lodges or camps, experiencing the exhilaration of game drives - never knowing what may be just around the corner, or taking part in exciting wildlife activities makes for an unforgettable experience. Choose from luxurious secluded hideaways, rustic retreats or charming tented accommodated, all surrounded by glorious landscapes.

Choose from the below destinations to explore our range of Sri Lanka national park hotels in your desired location. Alternatively, if you are looking for some inspiration, give us a call and speak to one of our expert travel consultants.
Wilpattu National Park
Due to the dense forest and the unfamiliarity of the animals to visitors, wildlife sightings can be less certain than in other parks.
Gal Oya & Minneriya National Parks
In Minneriya National Park, look out for herds of majestic elephant on exciting game drives.
Sinharaja Forest Reserve & Bundala National Park
Bundala National Park stretches along the south coast, protecting an important area of coastal wetland renowned for its abundant birdlife. Much less visited than nearby Yala National Park, elephants, deer and crocodiles can also be spotted.
Udawalawe National Park
Adjacent to the park is the Elephant Transit Home, where orphaned elephants are cared for until they are ready to be released into the wild.
Yala National Park
In September and October, Block 1 closes to allow for regeneration. During this time, we offer games drives in Block 5, which although has fewer leopard sightings, a host of other wildlife is present.
OUR RECOMMENDED HOTELS IN SRI LANKA'S NATIONAL PARK
Maybe you’re looking for an intimate camp nestled amongst the forest, or a lodge style property near the ocean? Perhaps it’s a luxury tented camp or charming cabins with private plunge pools.
What you won’t find here are thousands of hotels to wade through. We have done the hard work for you and selected the best places to stay and our travel consultants are on hand to help, often with first-hand experience.
