Asia Safari Tours
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.

It was a great tour, taking in all main cultural sites plus and lots of national parks which is what we were looking for. Private guide and chauffeur very good, friendly, and well organised.Sri Lanka really is rich and diverse country. If there is any criticism it’s that there were occasionally too many destinations in the schedule and some of the lovely accommodation was a bit hard to find/too far out of town meaning one arrived after dark with no time to enjoy it. However, once we realised this we cut a few stops out giving us a little more recovery time. Thistour would definitely keep any nature lover very happy.

I’ve been to many Asian countries, including several in South Asia, and I had always wanted to visit Sri Lanka. I had heard so much about the country’s rich history, beautiful nature, and especially the Wildlife. I really wanted to experience a safari, climb Sigiriya, and see everything Sri Lanka has to offer. When I came across Roar & Rove Safaris, this Big Five itinerary matched exactly what I was looking for. From day one, everything was perfectly managed and organised down to the smallest detail. Our driver-guide greeted us at the airport with a warm smile and a beautiful seashell necklace, which was such a lovely welcome. All of our safari drivers were always on time, polite, and incredibly friendly. At Wilpattu National Park, my wife and I had an unforgettable day. We saw three leopards together in the morning and a sloth bear in the afternoon. Our driver was excellent, he knew exactly where to go and when to go. I cannot fully express just how amazing the safaris were. Seeing wildlife up close from the safety of the 4x4 jeep was an incredible experience. Our guide, Kesara, was outstanding. He had extensive knowledge about animal behaviour and worked closely with the safari drivers to ensure we had respectful and memorable wildlife encounters. Some of my favourite sightings included a leopard sleeping in a tree in Yala National Park, elephants rolling in a mud bath, and a sloth bear with her cub searching through the bushes for food. The accommodations were all excellent, and we had a wonderful time throughout the trip. Every hotel treated us exceptionally well and always went the extra mile to provide outstanding hospitality once they learned we were guests of Roar & Rove. It was clear that the company is highly respected across the country and has great relationships everywhere they operate.
