About this tour

Built for serious wildlife travellers but no longer parks-only — we anchor the trip with the Sigiriya rock fortress, a Lipton's Seat tea-country sunrise and a Mirissa whale-watching boat, so the cultural and adventure spine is there alongside the safaris.

Trackers are local to each park, so you're always with a guide who actually reads that ground. We pace the schedule around dawn and dusk drives.
