Night safari, Popham’s Arboretum
- Popham’s Arboretum located just 4 km away from Dambulla town on Dambulla - Kandalama road. This man-made forest was created by nature lover Sam Popham, an Englishman in 1963. Now it is the only dry zone Arboretum in Sri Lanka. The natural habitat with a variety of trees, birds, butterflies, and dragonflies has resembled typical Sri Lanka dry-zone dry evergreen forest.
The most evolutionarily distinct and globally endangered Sri Lankan endemic species of the red slender loris (Loris tardigradus) can be seen in this Arboretum. Night Walk to search these nocturnal arboreal animals with large distinctive eyes in this wilderness would be a fascinating experience you not to miss.
