Sri Lanka harbors some of the world’s most extraordinary and elusive wildlife — and most of it remains unseen by the world. Ceylonese 20 is our flagship expedition program dedicated to bringing clients face-to-face with the island’s rarest and most threatened species — an experience that exists nowhere else on earth.
Designed exclusively for true wildlife enthusiasts, this is not a safari. This is a rare privilege. Guided by our field scientists and veteran trackers, each expedition combines professional wildlife telemetry, camera trap monitoring, and deep-habitat surveys to locate species that few humans have ever witnessed in the wild. Participants become active citizen scientists, contributing real observational data directly to our conservation database — leaving behind far more than footprints.
Ceylonese 20 is a one-of-a-kind program. No other organization in Sri Lanka — or anywhere in the world — offers structured, science-led access to this curated collection of the island’s twenty rarest species in their natural, undisturbed habitats. For those who have seen the world’s great wildlife destinations and still hunger for something truly extraordinary, this is it.
Every expedition fee is channeled directly into Wild Lanka Trust’s species protection and habitat restoration funds — ensuring that the rarest creatures you encounter today will still roam these wild landscapes for generations to come.
