Gal Oya National Park is home to a wide range of birds, and animals including Asian elephants, sloth bears, leopard and water buffalo. Enjoy a jeep safari and walk with one of the lodge's expert naturalists who will teach you about the park's fascinating ecosystem.
We recommend a 10:00 AM start for this and enjoy lunch with a view, which will be set up next to the river at 12:30PM, served halfway through the experience.
