This itinerary is one of Ampersand's Top 10 Winter Sun Trips and Top 10 Family Holidays.

This tour is an Ampersand favourite! If Tarzan went to Sri Lanka we are sure that he would do something along these lines. As the name suggests, this is the perfect trip for adventurous wildlife enthusiasts; to add to the sense of adventure we have arranged stays in mud huts, tree houses and tented accommodation and the most daring can even sleep out in the open under the stars. 

Start with whale and dolphin watching on the western coast at Kalpitiya, and visit Wilpattu National Park and the ancient cities and temples in the Cultural Triangle. Go walking in the hills known as The Knuckles before heading off to one of Sri Lanka’s most unexplored national parks Gal Oya, before descending down to the coastal plains where you can camp in Kumana National Park and spot leopards and bears. Continue on Koggala Lake near Galle to stay at Sri Lanka's most exciting new sustainable design hotel, Tri Lanka, before heading to Sinharaja, Sri Lanka’s last virgin rainforest. End your trip amongst the mangroves in Bentota and enjoying the coast for your final nights.

This is the ideal trip for anybody young or old wanting to have an adventure, meet locals and soak up the amazing history and natural beauty that this island has to offer.

As it is purely a suggested itinerary, this tour can be booked as it is or alternatively used as a starting point for creating your own perfect holiday to Sri Lanka. If you'd like to see similar itineraries, take a look at our Epic Journeys and Family Holiday collections, as well as our favourite Wildlife, Active, Trekking and Beach itineraries.
