Gal Oya National Park

Sri Lanka's Hidden Wildlife Treasure

Overview

Gal Oya National Park is one of Sri Lanka’s least-explored wildlife destinations and offers one of the country’s most unique safari experiences.

The park surrounds the magnificent Senanayake Samudraya, Sri Lanka’s largest reservoir, where visitors can enjoy the country’s only boat safari through a national park.

Gal Oya is home to elephants that are often seen swimming between islands, along with deer, crocodiles, monkeys, and over 150 species of birds.

Its remote location and peaceful atmosphere make it an exceptional destination for travellers seeking exclusive wildlife experiences away from the crowds.
