Top 10s logo 

Natural Wildlife Wonders of Sri Lanka is one of Ampersand's Top 10 Family-friendly Itineraries.

What better way to experience the natural beauty and astonishing diversity of this island than exploring its rivers, lakes, mountains, jungles and beaches? Staying in a wide range of accommodation ranging from boutique hotels to mud huts, tree houses and caves (yet without sacrificing on comfort) this trip is ideal for nature lovers of any age with a good sense of fun and adventure.

Go white water rafting down the warm Kitulgala River surrounded by dense tropical jungle, trek on the misty Horton Plains, reminiscent of the Scottish Highlands, sleep in a treehouse or even a mud hut on the banks of a gem filled river (you can go prospecting too!) and relax in its natural Jacuzzi beneath the waterfall. Next, explore the fauna and flora in Sinharaja, recognised by UNESCO as being a unique habitat, see herds of elephants and possibly even leopards in Yala National Park.

For the grand finale go whale and dolphin watching where you have excellent chances of seeing both blue whales and dolphins. Enjoy a hard earned rest by finishing the trip on the most beautiful of beaches with a choice of water sports on the nearby river.

Client Testimonials

I had a very lovely time and was looked after splendidly. My first visit to India could not have been better, save for being longer! But I shall return at some point and I shall look to you to make the arrangements.
- Matthew Nicklin, North India
Ampersand’s preparation, attention to detail and interaction before and during our trip show exactly why good travel agents have a role in today’s internet booking age. They were a delight to deal with!
- Mr David Wallace, North India
Difficult to choose the highlight of the trip, can’t choose between… 1) Taj Mahal & Oberoi Amarvilas. 2) Ranthambore. 3) Lake Palace. We have to say a particular thank you for selecting Parmod as our driver. He is a delightful and kind man who took our holiday and our enjoyment as his responsibility. Thank you for putting together such an amazing trip for us. The balance of city and rural destinations was perfect for us and the variety of rooms and hotel types brilliant. Our driver and guides also added so much to the trip with their knowledge of India’s history and culture and their willingness to discuss it both from a professional and personal angle.
- Carruthers family, North India
