Sri Lankan Safaris
Things you need to know about Safaris, beforehand.
Sri Lanka is a must-visit Safari destination in the world. A small island nation filled with hundreds of endemic species is a big draw to do a safari. The best way to have a wildlife encounter is to take a Safari Game Drive in a National park in Sri Lanka. Below you can find some of the most valuable information that nobody tells beforehand. I am sure this will clear any doubt you having what to expect on the tour itself.
It is definitely a bumpy ride.
Well, This is wilderness, so do not expect a comfortable ride like you are on an expressway, jeeps have comfortable seats with local standard and have pretty good suspensions, however, they can’t absorb a sudden jerk as a high-performance vehicles handle shocks.
So hold on to something and do not forget to have a good grip to your camera, unless you want it to fly away into the wilderness.

While you are on a narrow trail watch-out for tree branches, most comes with thorns.
