Discover the South of Sri Lanka by visited:
-Yala
Yala National Park is Sri Lanka's second largest reserve and the most visited park renowned for its leopards. They share the spotlight with elephants, crocodiles, buffaloes, deer, mongooses, jackals, and hundreds of bird species, some of which are endemic.
- Udawalawa
Set off for an incredible safari in one of the most beautiful national parks of Sri Lanka, whose marvelous landscapes resemble those of African reserves. Uda Walawe is one of the most suitable sites in the country to see elephants as there are around 500 of them! You can also spot crocodiles, water buffaloes, aquatic lizards, mongooses, and peacocks. You can make a stop at the Elephant Transit Home, located near the park, to attend the meal of the pachyderms.
- Bentota
Bentota, one of Sri Lanka's oldest seaside resorts, sits on an estuary where the river meets the ocean. The coast between Bentota and Beruwela is called the "Golden Mile" for its golden sand beaches which are among the most fascinating in the country and it is the favorite place of turtles!
Travel conditions
It is said that people from Brittany are travelers, I guess I am no exception! If I went around Europe a bit during my youth, I caught the travel virus, during my first expatriation to Mauritius. When I set foot on the sand, it hit me: I was made for the sun. A second experience followed, Reunion Island for two years, exploring the island from one end to the other on the hiking trails. In 2017, I surprised myself when I stopped with my suitcases in Sri Lanka. Beyond the enchanting landscapes, the country has been an emotional and professional upheaval for me and each day brings its share of surprises and emotions. The friendliness of the Sri Lankans, the time which seems to slow down, the thirst-quenching coconut water and the diversity of landscapes and climates all explain how you can never get tired of this country!
