Safari Adventure
Today we swap surfboards for jeeps and head out on an unforgettable safari adventure. Around 4 AM, we’ll leave directly from the house and make our way to Udawalawe National Park. The early start gives us the best chance to see Sri Lanka’s most iconic residents – wild elephants – as they roam freely through the park at sunrise.
After the safari, we’ll enjoy breakfast at our local partner’s place before heading back to Midigama. Along the way, you may also spot monkeys, crocodiles, water buffalo, peacocks and other wildlife.
We’ll return home around 12–1 PM, with the rest of the day dedicated to relaxing, recovering and soaking up the Sri Lankan island lifestyle. At the evening we will enjoy another Camp dinner together.
