We get up very early today to enjoy the morning mood with the rising fog over the lake and the many birds and butterflies. With a little luck, we will also spot a crocodile on a sandbar. We have breakfast packed and have a nice picnic on the way. First, we drive a short distance with our bus to a small settlement, where our hike begins. Here we get an insight into the morning activities of the residents who go fishing or do their laundry on the shores of the lake. With luck, an angler will take us on his catamaran. We reach our picnic area and enjoy the delicious contents of a king coconut or other sweet fruits that the friendly farmer offers us. After a short walk through the fields, we meet the ox-cart - the vehicle for our special safari. The adventure begins! The ox cart takes you through rough terrain, meadows and forests and we can observe the wildlife. We are back to the hotel for lunch. In the late afternoon, after the great heat, the next highlight is on the program: a visit to the so-called Lion Rock of Sigiriya. This huge, shimmering red rock dominates the surrounding forests and meadows by almost 200 m. Many steps, some carved in stone, lead up to the plateau of the rock, on which the remains of King Kasyapa's palace are located.
