Wildlife bungalows are built inside many national parks in Sri Lanka. Most of the bungalows are of high demand from local wildlife research community as well as wildlife photographers as they provide quick access to amazing wildlife habitats.

Usually a traveller will get a 30 day single entry visa online or on arrival at the airport. You can apply online via the official government website.

Ideal group would be of 6 travellers or more. Transportation cost and safari ticket/jeep costs would be shared across the team, so the price would be less per individual. If you can group more than 6 people, that would be even better.
All transactions are done in LKR in Sri Lanka, other than few tourist hotels and restaurants accepting foreign currencies. Alternatively you can pay by your credit or debit card at some places. But we highly recommend to exchange some of your currency to local currency at one of the airport exchange counters.
Please contact us via WhatsApp with your email, group size, arrival and departure dates. We will find matching teams at possible services such as transport sharing and safari pooling.
You can report either to nearest Sri Lanka police station or tourist police of any incident in Sri Lanka.
