Kids Tour With Sri Lanka’s Big Five
From sloth bears to sperm whales, Sri Lanka is home to some of the most remarkable wildlife on the planet and therefore a must-do itinerary in Sri Lanka when traveling with your kids is The Kids Tour with Sri Lanka’s Big Five by Blue Lanka Tours. This Itinerary has it all.
What is Sri Lanka’s Big 5?
• Big Blue – The Blue Whale, the biggest animal which has ever lived on the planet
• Big Tooth – The Sperm Whale, the biggest toothed whale
• Big Ele – The Asian Elephant, is the biggest terrestrial mammal in Asia.
• Big Cat – The leopard, is the biggest cat in Sri Lanka, the third biggest in Asia, and the top
predator in Sri Lanka.
• Big Tropical Bear – One of the biggest bears in tropical latitudes. The Sloth Bear may well
be the largest in tropical latitudes, but data on Asian bears is not sufficient at the time of
writing to be conclusive.
Why Sri Lanka? How did we get about the BIG FIVE?
There were two compelling reasons why many believed that if we were to brand and sell a “Big List,” we should go with a “Big Five.” To begin with, establishing a Sri Lankan Big Five provides asymmetry of the phrase’ with the African Big Five. Second, Sri Lanka is the greatest safari destination outside of Africa, and it makes sense to have an asymmetry of phrases’ because both the enormous continent of Africa and the tiny island of Sri Lanka are Big Game safari equivalents. Outside of Africa, no other country or continent can claim five large iconic creatures with a high strike rate and the opportunity to view them all in a single trip. Sri Lanka is the ideal wildlife safari location for a distinct Big Five experience. Because of the symmetry of the term, and because Sri Lanka is an island equivalent to the defining safari continent, it makes sense for Sri Lanka Tourism to embrace Big Five safari branding.
