From the 30-minute callback to our private villa in Ubud, every little detail was handled. Our guide even arranged a surprise candle-lit dinner on the beach. Zero stress — pure magic.
Sri Lanka Wildlife Safari: Leopards & Elephants
Jeep safaris for leopards, elephants and a wealth of tropical wildlife.
For a compact island, Sri Lanka packs an astonishing range of wildlife, and a jeep safari is one of the most thrilling ways to experience it. The country's national parks are famous for leopards and wild elephants, alongside sloth bears, crocodiles, deer and a dazzling variety of birds. Yala offers the best leopard odds, while Udawalawe is renowned for its elephant herds. Holiday Vibez weaves one or more safaris into your itinerary, arranging jeeps, permits and comfortable stays nearby.

Sri Lanka's top parks
Each park offers something different. Yala is the classic choice for leopards and varied wildlife, while Udawalawe is the place for near-certain elephant encounters. We match the parks to your interests and route, sometimes combining two for a fuller experience.
How safaris work
Game drives run in open 4x4 jeeps with knowledgeable local drivers and trackers. Early morning drives are usually the most productive, and we handle the jeep hire, park permits and timing so you can simply enjoy the ride.
Best time to visit
Wildlife viewing is generally best in the drier months, when animals gather around water. Some parks have seasonal closures, so we plan your dates carefully to ensure the parks on your itinerary are open and at their best.
How to reach
The main parks lie in the south and south-east of the island, reached by scenic drives from Colombo or the coast. A private car and driver lets us link safaris smoothly with beaches, tea country and the Cultural Triangle.
Visa (ETA)
Indian travellers need a Sri Lanka ETA, obtained online before departure. Holiday Vibez assists with the application so you can focus on the wildlife.

Real stories from real journeys
Thousands of families and couples across South India have travelled with us — here's what a few of them had to say.
Travelling with my parents and two kids, I was nervous. Holiday Vibez planned every single day perfectly, and the Alleppey houseboat was the highlight. We are already planning our next trip with them.
Best price I found anywhere, and the desert safari and Burj Khalifa tickets were all sorted before we even landed. The team was on WhatsApp whenever I had a question.
The Gulmarg gondola, the shikara ride on Dal Lake — exactly like the photos, no surprises at all. By the end of the trip our driver felt like family.
Booked a fairly last-minute Phuket trip and they still got me a great deal with visa help included. Honest, smooth and genuinely helpful people.
Scuba at Havelock was a dream come true. Every transfer and every hotel was exactly as promised. Worth every rupee, and I have already recommended them to friends.
