Begin your journey with pickup from your hotel in Ella in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle accompanied by an English-speaking driver. Leave the cool mountain climate behind and travel through winding roads surrounded by tea plantations, forest-covered hills, rocky landscapes, waterfalls, and peaceful rural villages.

As you descend towards Sri Lanka's eastern dry zone, the landscape gradually changes into open plains, reservoirs, scrub forests, and agricultural areas. Upon reaching Lahugala, begin an exciting safari through Lahugala Kitulana National Park with an experienced tracker.

Although one of Sri Lanka's smaller national parks, Lahugala is an important habitat for Sri Lankan elephants. The park's reservoirs and grasslands attract elephants, especially when they gather near the water to drink and feed. During the safari, you may also encounter water buffalo, spotted deer, wild boar, monkeys, crocodiles, and a variety of resident and migratory bird species.

The peaceful surroundings and less-crowded safari experience make Lahugala an excellent destination for wildlife lovers and photographers. Its combination of reservoirs, dry-zone forests, and open grasslands provides excellent opportunities to observe animals in their natural habitat.

After completing the safari, continue towards Arugam Bay, passing through the scenic eastern countryside. Your journey concludes with drop-off at your hotel in Arugam Bay, where you can relax and enjoy the destination's tropical beaches, surfing atmosphere, restaurants, and laid-back coastal lifestyle.
