Highlights
Our Safari jeep will pick you up from your hotel in Sigiriya/Habarana. We will then take you to the village. There you will experience a Bullock cart ride; This is how our ancestors moved around!
Then you will go to the village reservoir. This is an agricultural village so the reservoir is a part of life. People cross the lake using canoes and your next experience is going to a farm house in on of those Canoes. The Paddler will make you a beautiful Lotus leaf hat and a neckless with a Lilly stem in the water; these are old romantic gestures of the village life…
You’ll then go to the village and engage in cooking with the house ladies and eat your lunch at the farm house. Later they will drop you back at the jeep by a Tuk-Tuk; the common village taxi nowadays.
Then it’s Safari time. Our Safari Jeep will take you to Minneriya National Park. You’ll do a 2.5-3 hours Safari game drive there to find herds of Elephants at the reservoir and some other very interesting wild-life including Deer and Crocodiles along the drive.
Later, we’ll drop you back at your hotel in Sigiriya/Habrana.

BEST TIME TO VISIT
The weather in Sri Lanka is based on the two rainy seasons; Yala (Little rain) season and Maha (Big rain) season. Over the years, these seasons are known to have arrived early or run late but the good thing is these seasons have sunny and bright hours, days and weeks in-between.
From December until April, Monsoon winds do not blow. And in July & August.
The South-Western Monsson (Yala) will blow from May to June and will tail off in July-August. Colombo and the South seas (Mirissa, Galle…) will be rough during this time. This is the time to visit the Eastern beaches of Sri Lanka (Nilaveli, Trincomalee). The cultural areas and the Central highlands are still great to visit!
The North-Eastern Monsoon (Maha) will blow from September to November and will tail off in December. This season brings a lot of rain to all parts of the island but luckily The sunny and bright hours, days and weeks in-between is common to this season too. Land slides, train breaks and floods are quite common during September, October and November and quite likely in the first half of December if the tail end of the Monsoon blows stronger!
Maha is the season of best deals, so it’s still great to consider for that kind of a holiday!
