Ridiyagama Safari Park

Ridiyagama Safari Park, located in Hambantota, is Sri Lanka's first drive-through safari park, spanning 500 acres. Opened in 2016, it is divided into six zones, featuring a diverse range of animals including Bengal tigers, African lions, Sri Lankan elephants, zebras, giraffes, Bactrian camels, and more. Visitors can explore via bus or private jeep, enjoying close-up encounters in a natural-like setting. The park meets animal welfare guidelines and is praised for its well-maintained facilities and knowledgeable guides, though crowd management and signage in the DIY walking area could improve. A perfect destination for families and wildlife enthusiasts.
