Kulu Safaris are a high-end wildlife company that specialises in luxury camping safaris inside the three major national parks in Sri Lanka including Uda Walawe, one of the most beautiful of the island’s national parks and a game reserve famous for its large herds of wild elephant. Kulu offer a wonderful experience that allows you to really savour and enjoy the remarkable beauty of the wildlife reserves.  The camping experience offers many points of interest, whether looking out over a waterhole at breakfast, snoozing in a hammock after lunch or star-gazing over dinner. Guests are invited, but not forced, to rise just before dawn for a hot cup of tea or coffee, before setting off for a morning game drive conducted by Kulu’s expert naturalist, Javanah Fernando, who is very willing to focus on any particular interests that you may have, be these leopards, birds or bees. For the game drives, Kulu uses customised Toyota Hiluxes, the best safari vehicles available in the island. These handle every kind of terrain, give an excellent view and are specially fitted with camera support points for photographers. Kulu Safaris is a company that refuses to compromise on quality, and this is an ethos that manifests itself in every detail of the service. And yet, despite all of this, rather than boast about their facilities and personnel, they prefer to let the wildlife do the talking.
