A lone elephant lumbers into the water in Gal Oya National Park and slowly submerges his body like a submarine. When he resurfaces, his trunk swoops into the air and splish-splashes water about.

From a boat, floating in the middle of the park’s reservoir and armed with binoculars, I’m watching—with awe—as this magnificent creature seems to be going through his morning routine.

It’s the first safari on my well-rounded REI Adventure itinerary, “Discover Sri Lanka: Temples, Tea Trails and Safari.

While Africa is an obvious draw for safari-seekers, the island country of Sri Lanka is a lesser-known destination ripe for safari lovers. In addition to wildlife treks, adventure-seekers here can balance out their vacations with hiking, temple tours and culinary experiences.

BETTER THAN BALI: SRI LANKA NAMED NO.1 COUNTRY IN THE WORLD FOR 2019

https://www.escape.com.au/news/better-than-bali-sri-lanka-named-no1-country-in-the-world-for-2019/news-story/a181c1f672bd5eb44344ff387805543e

For years, Bali has been the default island destination for Australian travellers — but if you’ve had an inkling change was afoot, you’d be right.

Sri Lanka is the coolest country in 2018

If any country offers a better all-round travel experience than Sri Lanka, then it’s hiding its light under a very sizable bushel. Beach lovers can pick from a host of picture-postcard spots on the Indian Ocean coast. If culture’s your thing, you’ll be falling over UNESCO-listed historical sites, from mound-like Buddhist stupas — or dagobas — dating back thousands of years, to royal capitals, cave temples and colonial fortresses. Time your visit with a Buddhist celebration, such as Vesak, and join festival crowds thronging streets decorated with lanterns.

We reveal the coolest haunts, the hippest hangouts, the bucket list breaks and the enthralling escapes... these are the 18 destinations set to make it big in 2018
