Sinharaja Forest Reserve

Sinharaja Forest Reserve – The apex of rainforests in Sri Lanka and home to 95% of the endemic birds in the country, Sinharaja is a globally important biodiversity venue with a highly unique cultural significance. Among its many recognitions, the rainforest has been designated as a UNESCO Natural World Heritage Site, UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and also a Biodiversity Hotspot by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). It is a sought after by wildlife researchers as well as bird watchers from all parts of the world due to its richness in biodiversity and habitat complexity.  This lowland evergreen rain forest is adorned with lush vegetation, ample water falls and a perfect climate. The name Sinaharaja which translates to Lion (Sinha) King (Raja) makes it a revered location by Sri Lankans since it reflects the popular belief about the origin of the Sinhala people. According to the legend, the inception of the race is attributed to a union between a lion king and a princess who have sought refuge in the forest.

Udawalawe National Park 

Udawalawe National Park – Situated covering areas in two districts of Sri Lanka; namely Rathnapura and Monaragala. This is the largest conservation area in both the districts and is home to the Walawe reservoir. Situated in the dry zone of Sri Lanka, the predominant vegetation type in the park is scattered grasslands and thorny shrubs. The soil and climatic conditions are the key drivers of determining the major vegetation type in the park. The period between May and September are special for park visitors as they get the opportunity to come across herds of elephants even during mid day. Even though the bird population in the park is significant, their observation can be difficult due to the tall grass that is present. In addition, over 20 species of mammals and many reptile species can be seen in the park.

Yala National Park

Yala National Park – In the south-east region of Sri Lanka, Yala National Park is the second largest national park in the island, situated some 300 km away from Colombo. It was at first established in the early 1890s as a game sanctuary. The park is located in the dry-zone region where the drought season is very long. The day time average temperature is over 30 degrees which is not uncommon in the region. The parkland makes up most of the reserve but also includes lakes, beaches, jungle, rivers and scrubland. This variety in habitats provides an excellent range in wildlife. The largest concentration of leopards can be seen in this region though the chances of seeing this animal are very low and the creature is said to be one of the most endangered species. About 32 species of mammals, 125 species of birds and many reptiles and lagoon fauna species have been recorded in the park. The Yala National Park is famous among visitors as the best place to view large mammals within one territory.

Talangama Wetland

This variety in habitats provides an excellent range in wildlife. The largest concentration of leopards can be seen in this region though the chances of seeing this animal are very low and the creature is said to be one of the most endangered species. About 32 species of mammals, 125 species of birds and many reptiles and lagoon fauna species have been recorded in the park. The Yala National Park is famous among visitors as the best place to view large mammals within one territory.

Enjoy breakfast at the Yala campsite then transfer to Colombo hotel, a driving time of 4 hours. In the evening visit the Thalangama Wetland for bird watching and nature walk.

Talangama Wetland  – Offering visitors a close encounter with nature, without leaving the city of Colombo, Talangama Wetland  is situated in the outskirts of Colombo at Talangama Battaramulla, close to the administrative capital of Sri Jayawardenepura and takes less than an hours’ drive from Colombo. This wetland encompasses a manmade irrigation reservoir, lush green paddy fields, canals, ponds and marshes; the diversity making it a unique and favourable ecosystem for diverse species of fauna and flora to thrive in.

Thalangama Lake is home to about 100 species of wetland birds and common garden birds such as herons, bulbuls, swamp hens, water hens, kingfishers, teals, gulls, swallows, egrets and storks amongst many others. Also seen here are numerous species of butterflies and dragonflies. There are also plenty of purple faced leaf monkey and other reptiles to be seen here. The Talangama Wetland is the best place to spend an enjoyable day birding, right in the suburbs of Colombo. The best time to visit the Wetland is early in the morning and late evening when birds and other wildlife are seen in plenty. Visitors can also hire a paddle boat and enjoy paddling on the lake with a great opportunity to take a closer look at the wildlife on the lake. It is believed that the ancient Thalangama tank was built by King Parakramabahu VI during his reign from ca. 1412 to 1467 AD. It was a bathing place for the elephants of the royal army, and serves until today irrigated paddy cultivation, grazing water buffaloes, and flood water retention. The word Thalangama is said to derive from the word ‘Thadaka Gama’ or ‘village of ponds’.

      BETWEEN

      1. SAFARI DEAL LIMITED (company no. 11040155) whose registered address is 4 Deepdene Vale, Dorking, United Kingdom, RH4 1NL (“Safari Deal“); and

      RECITALS

      1. Safari Deal operates as an online aggregator and the owner of a branded online marketing platform which enables third parties to market and sell their respective safari tours, packages, itineraries, and their associated services (the “Safari Deal Platform“). The Safari Deal Platform therefore functions as a blend between an online shop window for safari operators and related service providers and a comparison service for customers.
      2. TRAVEL PARTNER is a provider of travel or itinerary services (or an associated service to these) and wishes to register as a formal, trusted partner on the Safari Deal Platform for the purposes of marketing and separately selling its services using the shop-window provided by Safari Deal (as a Travel Partner).
      3. Both Parties acknowledge and agree that there is a significant benefit to the Travel Partner from having its services displayed in an interactive and customisable way for consumers on the Safari Deal Platform. These significant benefits include marketing, being part of the Safari Deal community and network, having access to Safari Deal strategic partners, and of course transacting business with Safari Deal website visitors or contacts who make a formal enquiry through the Safari Deal Platform.
      4. In return for these benefits the Travel Partner agrees to remunerate and reward Safari Deal under the terms of this Agreement. The reward structure shall take the form of different kinds of referral payments derived from a formula set out in clause 6.2.
      5. It is a fundamental feature of the relationship between Safari Deal and its Travel Partners that Safari Deal does not and shall not sell or transact with customers on behalf of the Travel Partner. Safari Deal in no way acts as an agent or legal representative of a Travel Partner nor does it have the authority or capacity to enter into binding legal agreements for the Travel Partner.

        8. No failure or delay by a Party to exercise any right or remedy provided under this Agreement or by Law shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the future exercise of that or any other right or remedy.
        9. If any provision or part-provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid, illegal or unenforceable, it shall be deemed modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it valid, legal and enforceable.
