FAMILY ADVENTURE

Leave Galapita at 9.30am for Uda Walawe (3 hour drive). One of Sri Lanka’s most popular national parks with herds of Elephants, Wild buffalo, sambar deer and leopards, Uda Walawe is the Sri Lankan national park that best rivals the savanna reserves of Africa. There are different varieties of birdlife as well these northern migrants join the residents between November and April. Afternoon enjoy the Jeep Safari at the park. There will be a Jeep organized to take you around inside the park together with a well experienced tracker and guide.

Today you may enjoy a jeep safari at the Uda Walawe National Park either during morning hours or in the evening (The choice is yours!!) You may even experience both the safaris if you desire. There will be a Jeep organized to take you around in the National Park. During the daytime you may relax at the hotel by the pool area or may be just do some reading while enjoying the nature.

Today depart for Negombo. Bustling Negombo town is a historically interesting place, strongly influenced by the Catholic Church. The narrow strip of land to the South of the lagoon and the many canals make for good exploring. Cycling is a must in Negombo. After relaxing and enjoying your lunch (depending on your arrival flight time) in the afternoon take in Negombo’s most famous fish market where you can see Fish auctions on the beach and sales at the market. Visit the ruins of the Dutch fort near the lagoon which has a fine gateway inscribed with the date 1678, also here is a green, called Esplanade, where cricket matches are a big attraction. You may visit St. Mary’s Church in the town centre, has very good ceiling paintings by a local artist.
