Fresh from the pan — Chef Jayaratne's morning hoppers.

Crisp around the edges, soft and airy in the centre, and prepared using locally sourced ingredients, hoppers are a breakfast favourite for good reason. Chef Jayaratne makes them fresh each morning, bringing together simple ingredients and authentic Sri Lankan flavours.

Whether it's your first hopper or your hundredth, there's something special about starting the day with a plate that's warm, freshly made, and prepared with care.

This is how every morning begins.

The jungle doesn't rush. Neither should you.

In a world that constantly demands our attention, nature offers a different rhythm. Here at Claughton Wild, mornings begin with birdsong over the paddy fields, afternoons unfold beside the pool, and evenings end under skies filled with the sounds of the surrounding wilderness.

World Environment Day is a reminder that experiences like these depend on healthy ecosystems and protected habitats. Every forest preserved, every species protected, and every responsible travel choice helps ensure these landscapes remain wild for years to come.

Escape the noise. Book your Wilpattu retreat.

What was spotted on a recent excursion?

Bright, colourful, and easy to miss if you blink, the Black-backed Dwarf Kingfisher is one of the smaller treasures found in and around Wilpattu. This recent sighting captured the bird resting briefly on a shaded perch before disappearing back into the forest.

While many people associate kingfishers with lakes and rivers, this species is often found in dense woodland, where it hunts insects and small prey among the trees and undergrowth. For birdwatchers and photographers, spotting one is always a memorable moment.

Follow us for weekly sighting updates.

Before the safari, before breakfast — this is Claughton Wild at first light.

Wake up in a spacious chalet overlooking the paddy fields as birds begin their morning chorus and the first light spreads across the landscape. Step onto your verandah and take in the stillness.

The air is cool, a peacock calls from nearby, and for a few quiet moments, the world seems to slow down.

These are the moments that often stay with our guests long after the safari is over.

A morning coffee, the sounds of nature, and the anticipation of a day exploring Wilpattu National Park just minutes away.
