Safari Tours & Trips in Asia
Could you picture safari in Asia rather than Africa? India's tigers, Sri Lanka's leopards and elephants, Borneo's orangutans and pygmy elephants. Asian safari offers completely different experiences, with denser jungles, different wildlife, varied cultures. You'll track animals through rainforests, stay in jungle lodges and discover why Asian wildlife experiences rival Africa's famous safaris.

A great way to experience of the natural beauty and culture of Sri Lanka. The itinerary was jam packed with activities, especially liked the hiking (sunrise/sunset). Part One (Colombo Airport to Nuwara Eliya) - My first five days of the tour was travelling solo with driver / guide Shanaka who made my trip so memorable. Shanaka has very good English and was able to change the itinerary to suit my needs and provide different experiences for me, such as a visit to the Negombo Botanical Gardens, a Sri Lankan cooking class, a night hike in jungle to see the elusive Loris, and a visit to the historic Nuwara Eliya Post Office. He is a wonderful guide and I enjoyed our time together so much. Please ask for him if you plan on an ASY Tour. The BEST experience was bathing an elephant at Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage, AMAZING. Part Two (Nuwara Eliya to Colombo) - I joined 2 other travellers and my new driver / guide Supun. Supun is a very considerate and knowledgeable guide, and if you are a 'nervous passenger' he is the safest driver in Sri Lanka IMO. The jeep safari in Yala National Park was a highlight. We saw many animals and birds including Leopards sleeping. Tangalle is great for a walk along the beach, and Galle Fort is very impressive. The south coast area is very beautiful and I could easily have stayed longer. The hotels were very good quality and generally exceeded my expectations. Communications with ASY Tours were very good and the organisation went like clockwork. I am glad I chose a local Sri Lankan tour company rather than a big global travel company as the Sri Lankan people get 100% benefit from my visit to their beautiful country.
