Ocean, leopards and tea hills — one journey you will be telling stories about for years

A ready route for two: ten days from Colombo and the Weligama coast, through a safari in Yala, up to the tea plantations of Ella. We arrange everything on the ground — you simply live it.

A 20% deposit is all it takes. Hotels are booked in your name, and the confirmation reaches you directly from the hotel.

Day by day

Three different Sri Lankas in one trip: ocean, wilderness, mountains

No improvising and no dragging bags between buses. A private driver takes you between places, and everything is ready by the time you arrive.

Days 1–3 · Capital and coast

Colombo and Weligama: the city at breakfast, the ocean by sunset

The direct flight lands early in the morning. We meet you at arrivals and, while the city wakes up, show you Colombo: the Gangaramaya temple on the lake, the Galle Face promenade, the colonial Fort and lunch looking out at the ocean. By sunset you are on the south coast. After that, days without an alarm clock: breakfast above the bay, the infinity pool and a first surfing lesson if you feel like it.

Days 4–5 · Safari

Yala: leopards, elephants and dinner under the stars

Next comes Yala National Park, which has the highest density of leopards anywhere in the world. Two game drives a day are included, as are all meals. You sleep in a designed cabin in the middle of the bush, with a pool of your own.

Uga Chena Huts · luxury safari, all inclusive
Days 6–7 · The hills

Ella: the train through the tea plantations

This is the turquoise train from every photograph of Sri Lanka, and we buy the tickets well in advance. In Ella your hotel sits on the slope of a tea plantation: sunrise over the valley from your pillow, a walk up Little Adam’s Peak, the Nine Arch Bridge.

Days 8–10 · Back to the ocean

Weligama: a sunset photo session and nowhere to rush

We return to the ocean, and by now it feels familiar. On the last evening we arrange a photo session at sunset, so you go home with more than memories: with pictures worth hanging on a wall. In the morning, a transfer to the airport.

What is included

You pack a suitcase. We handle the rest.

01Every hotel on the route

Nine nights: a five-star Marriott on the ocean, the Uga safari lodge and a hotel on a tea plantation. Booked in your name.

02A private driver throughout

An air-conditioned car from the airport and back again. No transfers to catch, no haggling with taxis.

03Safari in Yala

Up to four jeep drives with a ranger, park entry included. All meals at the lodge are covered.

04Train tickets to Ella

The scenic route everyone photographs. We buy the seats early, because catching them yourself is close to impossible.

A direct chat with your manager and with the coordinator on the island. Questions get answered in minutes.

06A photo session at sunset

An hour with a professional photographer on the Weligama coast. Fifty or more edited images within five days.

Not included: international flights (we will advise on the best options), travel insurance and personal spending.

Pricing

Three ways to travel — one journey you will not forget

Prices are for two people and cover everything on the ground. We fix the price on the day of your deposit: hotel rates may keep rising, yours will not.

Common questions

What people ask before they book

How do we pay from abroad?
You can pay by card through our Sri Lankan company, or by bank transfer against the contract. We will walk you through the options on a call — for our clients this is a settled question, not an obstacle.
What if you disappear with our deposit?
That is exactly why the deposit is only 20%, and why you receive hotel confirmations in your own name straight afterwards. Call the Marriott and they will confirm the room is yours. The money does not sit in limbo for a day: it turns into bookings you can verify. And the contract comes before any payment.
Do we need a visa for Sri Lanka?
Most nationalities need an ETA, which is filled in online in a few minutes. We send step-by-step instructions and check that it has been done correctly. Entry rules do change, so we confirm the current requirements before departure.
When should we come? Will we hit the rains?
For this route, along the south-west coast, November through April is ideal. If your dates fall outside that, we will say so plainly and offer the mirror route along the east coast, which is dry at that time. It is always high season somewhere in Sri Lanka; you just have to know where.
Why not the Maldives?
In the Maldives you spend the whole holiday on one island three hundred metres across. Here you get the ocean, a leopard safari, a train through the tea hills and two thousand years of history in a single trip, while hotels of the same standard cost two and a half to three times less.
Can the route be changed for us?
Yes. This is not a package pulled from a catalogue. Add an ayurvedic retreat, a surfing day or the ancient cities, or cut the driving down — we will build your version. The route on this page is a tested foundation, not a fixed frame.
