Though smaller than most countries that have the Big Five, Sri Lanka is the only island that has the pride of having them all in one place.
Other than Africa, no country can claim to have the Big Five and following them closely is
Sri Lanka Safari, a common thing to go on when visiting the island and having the Big Five is a major source of attraction too.
For the people who want to see these animals up close, a lot of camps provide staying facilities within the reserve too and
Mahoora Tented Safari Camps is one of them.

When it comes to tropical latitudes, the Sloth Bear can easily be the biggest bear within the vicinity. These bears are known to be shy creatures, though their sizes may make you think otherwise.
