About this experience
Leave Negombo and head south with your English-speaking chauffeur guide in a private vehicle, stopping first at two striking Buddhist temples where Buddha statues rise over 100 feet high alongside intricate murals, painted passages, and religious figurines. The route takes you through the Sri Lankan countryside at a relaxed pace — fuel, parking, and highway tolls are all covered, and a 500 ml bottle of water is provided each day.
On day two, you reach Yala National Park, one of Sri Lanka's largest and most celebrated wildlife reserves, for a chance to spot the park's resident leopards, elephants, crocodiles, and abundant birdlife. This two-day private tour is a practical way to combine culture and wildlife in a single short trip from Negombo, with hotel accommodation and park entrance fees arranged separately to suit your budget.
