This truly is an excellent trip, and way to see beautiful Sri Lanka at a good pace. You cover so much in 2 weeks, and every day is different with sightseeing, walking, cycling, wildlife - there really is something for everyone. Sri Lanka is a fantastic country with wonderfully welcoming people. This trip really makes you feel you are benefitting the local communities that you are interacting with - spending time with local families, playing traditional games and getting a deeper understanding day-to-day life and traditions. You get a better understanding for the tougher and sadder side of the history of the country, while gaining a deeper appreciation for the resilience of the joyful people who live there. It really is a wonderful trip, made better by a great group and leader!

We had two leaders - one in Sri Lanka and another in the Maldives. Both were excellent, but particularly Su in Sri Lanka because we encountered very difficult circumstances due to exceptionally heavy rainfall during our trip.

My first trip with explore after being introduced to it by a couple of colleagues. A great trip fitting in a lot of Morocco into the 9 days so quite fast paced and a lot of travelling but this is mentioned in the trip notes and expected due to the amount of the country you cover in the 9 days.. Nabil our tour leader was excellent, very knowledgable and made the trip very enjoyable especially the long bus journeys..
