We just returned from our Wildlife photography tour to Sri Lanka a few weeks ago and cannot be happier with going with this Sri Lanka tour company. We communicated for probably about 5 months planning this trip. The trip was amazing. The lodging was perfect in all places, and the safaris were great in each location. Our trip designer Lahiru really exceeded all our expectations. he did such an amazing job! he was thoughtful with all his feedback, answered our million questions, and was so patient throughout the booking process. he was always so happy to help! Even during our trip, he was available through WhatsApp to help with any questions or concerns. Looking forward to working with this Amazing company on our return - and completing our escapade, and next time we’ll bring friends and family!

After hearing from friends about this tour operator, we decided to give it a try and We booked a high-end 10-day trip to Sri Lanka for our family of 3 (two parents and one young adult child). The trip was well organized and they made our trip very memorable. The tour guides were very knowledgeable and helpful throughout our stay. The choice of accommodations was superb. The excursions were all on time, first-class, and quite enjoyable. I would easily and highly recommend it!

This was simply the best trip we have been on. We loved every element. Cycling through the back roads allows you to get under the skin of the country and the people - both were simply beautiful! It was a triumph of organisation and was superbly led.

Sri Lanka is a country with beautiful scenery, delicious food, lovely weather and friendly people. What better way to see it than by bike? The cycling was just as described, moderate to challenging and the 3 days in the middle of the holiday are certainly on the challenging side and very rewarding as a result.
