Our Journey

Born from a Deep Love for Sri Lanka's Wild Heart

Island Safaris was founded with a simple mission: to share the magic of Sri Lanka's incredible wildlife with travelers from around the world. Based in Habarana, at the gateway to the Cultural Triangle, we specialize in private jeep safaris to the region's most famous national parks.

A safari is more than seeing animals—it's about understanding the ecosystem, respecting the habitats, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

Our team of experienced drivers not only navigate the terrain expertly but also serve as knowledgeable guides who can read the forest like a book. Over the years, we've developed an intimate understanding of the Great Elephant Migration—the seasonal movement of hundreds of Asian elephants between Minneriya, Kaudulla, and Hurulu Eco Park. This knowledge ensures you're always at the right place, at the right time.
