Safari mornings start early and the jeep tracks can be rough, so a little preparation goes a long way. Here's what we recommend packing.
Comfortable, neutral-toned clothing and closed shoes work best: think layers, since early mornings can be cool before the sun climbs. A hat and sunglasses will save you from the midday glare once the drive stretches into the afternoon.
A camera and binoculars are the two most useful things you can bring. Even a basic pair of binoculars dramatically improves distant sightings, and sunscreen is essential given how much time you'll spend exposed to direct sun in an open jeep.
Bring your passport or ID, some cash for anything not covered by your package, and drinking water; most of our packages include water, but it's worth checking before you head out.
Browse our full range of safari parks and packages to plan the rest of your trip.
Small-group safaris, expert local drivers, and memories that last a lifetime. Begin your journey with us and step away from the beaten territories to uncover the wildlife hidden beneath the clichés. Whether it's your first leopard sighting or your fifth trip back to Yala, our drivers bring decades of local tracking knowledge to every drive, so you leave with more than photos, you leave with a story worth telling. From the dry-zone scrub of Yala to the wetlands of Bundala and the open plains of Udawalawe, every itinerary is paced around the moment rather than the clock, so nothing about the wild ever feels rushed. Each safari runs in a comfortable open 4x4 jeep with a small group size, flexible pickup from your hotel or villa, and a driver who knows every waterhole, trail and favourite leopard perch by heart, so you can simply sit back, watch, and let Sri Lanka's wilderness reveal itself.
