7 Days / 6 Nights
Elephants, leopards and blue whales across four extraordinary parks.
Overview
Few places on Earth pack as much wildlife into so small an island. On this journey you follow the great elephant gathering at Minneriya, track leopards in Yala, visit the elephant transit home at Udawalawe and head to sea in search of blue whales.
Every safari is private, with an expert naturalist who knows the parks intimately. Nights are spent in luxury tented camps where the sounds of the jungle are your lullaby.
