Night Safari in Sigiriya & Habarana

Tucked within the heart of dense forests, Sigiriya and Habarana are hidden gems of natural beauty, surrounded by a rich tapestry of wildlife. Located near the Minneriya National Park and Habarana Eco Parks, these areas are interwoven with tranquil villus (විල්ලු) and pristine reservoirs, creating an abundant ecosystem that thrives both day and night. As the sun dips below the horizon, Sigiriya and Habarana come alive with the sounds and sights of nocturnal creatures, transforming into the perfect setting for a captivating night safari.

Venture into this wilderness after dark, and you’ll likely encounter wild elephants roaming beneath the starry sky, or the elusive Fishing Cat (Prionailurus viverrinus - හදුන් දිවියා) stealthily hunting along the waters. Rare and fascinating wildlife such as the Slender Loris (උනහපුළුවා), Ring-tailed Civet (Small Indian civet or Viverricula indica උරුලෑවා), Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus or උගුඩුව or කලවැද්ද), Crocodiles, and the mysterious Forest Eagle Owl (also known as the Devil Bird or Spot-bellied Eagle Owl - උලමා) may reveal themselves during your journey. On occasion, you might even catch a glimpse of the red-listed Rusty-spotted Cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus කොළ දිවියා or බළල් දිවියා), Otters (දියබල්ලා) or the Indian Long-tailed Nightjar (බිම් බස්සා), adding an extra layer of enchantment to this nocturnal adventure.

For a truly immersive experience, book your night safari with an expert naturalist, who will guide you through this extraordinary night, ensuring an unforgettable exploration of the wild after dark.
