Practical, straight-to-the-point safaris await at Hurulu Forest Reserve, one of Sri Lanka’s lesser-known wildlife treasures. The standard 3.5-hour jeep tours run twice daily – choose from sunrise or late afternoon departures, when animals are most active. I especially love the evening tours, as the setting sun creates perfect lighting for wildlife photography and the temperatures are more comfortable.
These no-nonsense safaris deliver what matters most: knowledgeable local guides, reliable transportation, and excellent wildlife viewing. You’ll likely spot elephants, dozens of bird species, and various other wildlife. The all-inclusive price (park fees, transport, and refreshments) makes planning simple.
The best value comes from combining your safari with a visit to nearby Sigiriya rock fortress – smart travelers can check off two major sights in one day.
Let’s explore the top safari tours at Hurulu Forest Reserve.
