OUR MISSION

“At Safaria, we believe travel should do more than move people — it should move hearts. Our safaris are crafted to inspire a deep love for wildlife and a lasting commitment to conservation.”

Join Us in the Wild — Discover Sri Lanka’s Untamed Soul

Step into the wild with Safaria, where every journey is more than just a safari — it's a heartfelt connection to nature. Just as we once fell in love with Wilpattu’s ancient forests, hidden lakes, and elusive leopards, we invite you to fall in love too.

We design each safari to reflect your personal dreams, blending them with our deep-rooted knowledge of Sri Lanka’s wild spaces. Whether it’s a peaceful walk through a forest trail, a night under the stars in a jungle bungalow, or waiting patiently for that one perfect shot of a tusker at Kala Wewa — this is your story, shaped by the wild.

But more than that, your journey has meaning. Every Safaria experience supports wildlife conservation, empowers local communities, and helps protect the habitats we love for generations to come.

If each of us protects just one place, supports one cause, and tells one story — we give the wild a fighting chance.

 

Welcome to Safaria.
Welcome to your mission in the wild.

Where it all started

A Year in Our Landy and a Lifetime in the Wild

Safaria began with a simple dream: to build a life close to nature and to protect the wild places we loved as children.

In 2013, we started with a rugged jeep, custom-built for wildlife photography — a vehicle that wasn’t just transport, but a home on wheels, a platform for adventure. From that jeep came our first mobile camp, followed by cabanas, eco-lodges, and the formation of a passionate team who knew every corner of the land — and loved it deeply.

We believed then, as we do now, in the words of Sir David Attenborough:

“No one will protect what they don’t care about, and no one will care about what they have never experienced.”

Through every safari, every journey into the forest, and every camera click, we aim to do more than just show you wildlife. We help you feel it. Because once you fall in love with the wild, you’ll want to protect it — just like we do.

Safaria exists to inspire, connect, and conserve.
We invite you not only to explore nature — but to become part of the effort to protect it for future generations.

About What We Do

Safaris with soul. Travel with purpose.

At Safaria, we craft immersive, ethical, and unforgettable wildlife experiences in and around Wilpattu National Park, Sri Lanka’s largest and most mysterious wilderness.

We do more than organize safaris — we connect people with nature. Every jeep ride, every overnight cabana stay, and every photo taken under a jungle sky is part of something greater: a mission to inspire, protect, and preserve.

We don’t just take you to the wild. We help you understand it, fall in love with it — and help save it.
