01Arrive Colombo - Wadumunnegedara

Welcome to Sri Lanka! You will be met upon arrival and transferred to your accommodation - Horathapola Estate in Wadumunnegedara, a journey of around an hour. Horathapola Estate is a 20-hectare property nestled in rural Sri Lanka set amidst a manicured garden and tranquil surroundings.

03Galle

Discover the many faces of Galle with a gentle guided walking tour led by an expert resident guide and local character this morning. Explore the Fort on your own at leisure in the evening. Galle Fort is a pleasant place to wander with its quiet streets, inviting cafes and many boutiques and artisan workshops.

04Galle - Depart Colombo

Today depart to Colombo International airport for your departure flight, a journey of around 2 hours on the southern expressway.

05Gal Oya

Full day at leisure at your lodge. This evening go on a nature walk and visit the research centre with your in-house naturalist

06Gal Oya - Yala

Drive to Yala National Park this morning. This is Sri Lanka’s most visited wildlife reserve; as the terrain is semi-arid, there's a better chance to see wildlife with less jungle hindering views. Due to high density of leopards, the park has earned a reputation for frequent sightings. Your accommodation here will be in an upmarket tented safari accommodation. This afternoon you will explore the park on a jeep safari with the in-house naturalist.

07Yala

Rise at dawn to freshly brewed Ceylon tea or coffee before beginning your early morning game drive. Return to the camp after the safari. Spend the rest of the day relaxing at the camp – perhaps doze or read in a hammock, or chat with one of the camp’s naturalists, before heading out later this afternoon for another safari.

Testimonials

All aspects were great. We never felt isolated & each day everything was clearly spelt out so we knew what time to meet, where we were going & what we would see. We certainly would recommend Sri Lanka Unbound as your tours are unique.
