CAMPING IN THE WILD

More and more people enjoy spending their holidays in a different world – away from their challenges and complications of modern life. If you are also looking forward to a relaxed atmosphere and a unique opportunity to touch nature with your bare hands, the tented camps in wild are the ideal places. This is your time to experience the alluring spirit and soul of Sri Lanka.

Despite its small size Sri Lanka is renowned for its cornucopia of sights, sounds, smells and its diversity. It captivates, it excites, it makes you introspect – it offers a multi-sensory experience. Without having to travel long distances you can reach tropical rainforests, lush tea plantations, fascinating national parks, temples or other historic sites. Sri Lanka is also home to a terrific cuisine and blessed with a fascinating history and culture. Put simply, Sri Lanka is home to a wide range of flora and fauna and is one of the best places in Asia for seeing wildlife. For over 2,000 years huge areas of land have been preserved as sanctuaries by Sri Lankas royalty Mihintale; the world´s first reserve was created here in the third century BC.

The heavy rainfall of the two diagonally blowing monsoons as well as the country´s wide range of altitudes give Sri Lanka a variation in climate and biodiversity which is normally found only across an entire continent. It is known as one of the 34 biodiversity hotspots identified in the world and includes over 4,000 species of flowering plants, 245 species of butterfly, 85 species of freshwater fish, 207 species of reptiles, 108 species of amphibians, 492 species of birds, 95 terrestrial species of mammals and several thousand invertebrates.

Being located at different Sri Lankan national parks, the tented camp companies provide a great opportunity for wildlife lovers to observe the animals in their natural habitats while immersing into the magnificent nature. With safaris and nature walks camping companies provide a wild and magical experience which creates, along with the personalized service, the beautiful campsite and the passion for detail, a unique overall experience for you.

Spend your days tracking wildlife on a jeep and once you come back from your safari in the evening you are invited to the chill out area, where you can enjoy a chilled drink from the jungle bar and relax while exchanging stories, pictures and memories with the others. After the drinks and a refreshing shower, the experienced chef will introduce you to the delights of Sri Lankan cuisine with an al fresco dinner next to a roaring campfire. In the night, the queen-size beds in every tent almost guarantee you a peaceful sleep at night.
