So many memories
Travelling in a small group, everyday we had new expereiences.
Most Inspirational Moment
Glamping was definitely the standout experience for us. Early morning bird watching, walk with the local chief, lake sunset, no Wi-Fi, brilliant team and just the best ever.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Hitige was always patient and kind. He was very knowledgeable about so many aspects of Sri Lanka.
Advice for Potential Travellers
We are not beach people so our free day we spent at leisure in Galle . Less than a pound on the bus from outside the hotel. We also preferred eating at the hotel next door at the bay resort rather than the Marriott. We sat next to the ocean and had a great time for both evenings.

Beautiful and busy Sri Lanka
This trip was a good tour of the island with a mix of cultural sites (Sigiriya, temples, Buddhist villages etc) with wildlife sites (some river/lake tours) and two opportunities for safaris in the national park. It was quite busy at times and although we stayed in some amazingly beautiful (and expensive!) hotels we didn’t always get the chance to appreciate them. Lots of big chain hotels which feels a little away from the small group ethos. The Guide was brilliant and the transport excellent – although it was a large coach.
Most Inspirational Moment
Looking over the mountains from our hotel balcony in Ella - most beautiful scenery.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Brilliant. Very knowledgeable, patient and good sense of humour.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Don't be afraid to opt out of activities and spend some time looking round the area by yourself.

Beautiful Sri Lanka!
What a truly beautiful country, filled with beautiful people. With so much to experience in a relatively short space of time, this is the way to do it. It’s a packed schedule and very ‘full on’ although we did have an air conditioned coach with driver and assistant for the entire trip making all transfers and trips very easy. No stress there. Some days were early starts and occasional late finishes so limited the time spent at the hotels for relaxation, however you can always make the decision to drop out of some activities. I took part in all of the planned activities, opted out of the optional whale watching, resulting in just one full day of very welcome down time at the beach. We were warmly greeted at each hotel, usually with a drink or flower and made to feel welcome.
Most Inspirational Moment
There are many inspiring moments and if I have to choose it has to be the elephant transit home! Who can not be inspired by the kindness and work done to protect these majestic animals and how gorgeous are they??
Thoughts on Group Leader
Hiti gets top marks from me! He started the holiday with a smile when we met at the airport and that didn't change throughout the whole trip. I believe this was the first time this particular trip had been run so there were a few miscommunications that he dealt with very swiftly. His knowledge of his country is to be commended, he was asked many questions during our two weeks and was easily able to answer them all.
Advice for Potential Travellers
I would definitely recommend this trip. I went as a solo traveller and had the opportunity to meet a group of like minded people who were generous with their time to ensure I wasn't left to eat alone on the evenings where the meal wasn't provided. I can honestly say I enjoyed the company of all them.
