FAQ

Sri Lanka's climate is tropical and warm year-round. Average temperatures range between 27°C and 32°C in coastal areas and between 20°C and 26°C in inland regions. During photography tours, especially in Wilpattu National Park, you can expect hot and humid temperatures, especially between January and September, with occasional rains during the monsoon season.

To travel to Sri Lanka, you need a passport with at least six months of validity remaining from the date of entry. Additionally, you must obtain an electronic travel visa (ETA), which can be applied for online before departure. In some cases, the visa can also be issued upon arrival, but it is always advisable to process the application early to avoid delays.

For a photography tour in Sri Lanka, recommended equipment includes:
Telephoto lens (300mm – 600mm) for wildlife, especially leopards, bears and birds
Versatile zoom (70-200mm or 100-400mm) for environmental shots
Wide angle (24-70mm or similar) for landscapes and context scenes
Monopod or bean bag to stabilize the camera during safaris
Spare battery and high-capacity memory cards
Possible moisture protection for the equipment

We recommend comfortable, breathable clothing in neutral or natural tones, suitable for safaris. Days can be very hot, so it's helpful to wear technical T-shirts, light pants, and a hat with a visor. A light jacket or fleece is useful for the early morning and evening hours. Insect repellent, comfortable hiking shoes, and a rain poncho are mandatory.
