Sri Lanka’s first wildlife-viewing lodge, Gal Oya Lodge borders the lesser-visited Gal Oya National Park. Its focus on conservation and unique safaris (by boat) appeals to intrepid travellers.
Eco-luxury bungalows with thatched roofs blend into the forest. Outdoor baths and private decks encourage wildlife spotting.
Meals use ingredients from the lodge’s garden and nearby villages. Bush dinners under the stars are a signature experience.
Boat safaris to spot elephants swimming, birdwatching, and visits to indigenous Vedda communities are unforgettable.
