The Journey
What to expect
The southern quarter of Sri Lanka holds the island's most concentrated contrasts: the dense dry forest of Yala, where leopards patrol ancient rock formations; the colonial elegance of Galle Fort; and the pristine beaches of the southern coast, largely undiscovered by international visitors. This journey moves through all three landscapes with a private naturalist in the park and an art historian in the Fort.
Journey Highlights
- Private leopard safari
- Sunrise drive in Yala
- Expert naturalist guide
- Galle Fort by night
- Stilt fishing at Koggala
