About this experience

Enjoy a private safari through Lahugala Kitulana National Park, exploring the Lahugala, Kitulana, and Sengamuwa reservoirs, surrounding wetlands, grasslands, and forests. These habitats attract wild elephants, often seen grazing near reservoir banks, along with Spotted Deer, Sambar Deer, Wild Boar, Golden Jackals, monkeys, mongoose, and reptiles. Rare species such as Leopards, Sloth Bears, Fishing Cats, and Rusty-spotted Cats may also inhabit the park, though sightings are uncommon. Birdwatchers can look for Painted Storks, Purple Herons, Pelicans, Asian Openbills, Kingfishers, fish eagles, Sri Lanka Spurfowl, and Red-faced Malkohas. The park’s peaceful, uncrowded setting is ideal for wildlife lovers, photographers, and nature enthusiasts. After the safari, return to the meeting point or receive a complimentary drop-off within the specified area.
