We are not a typical wildlife safari operator. At Roar & Rove, we practice ethical wildlife tourism, crafting safaris especially for wildlife photographers and nature enthusiasts who wish to see Sri Lanka’s wilderness through a different lens.
Our safaris use photographer-friendly vehicles and are guided by some of the most experienced safari drivers in each national park — professionals who understand that nature’s rhythms can’t be predicted or controlled. While we’ll do our best to create the perfect conditions for unforgettable encounters, we never offer animal sighting guarantees.
Instead, we promise a safari that’s authentic, respectful, and deeply connected to the natural world — where every moment, expected or not, becomes part of the story. Thank you for understanding, and we look forward to welcoming you to our colorful, Wild Island.
