Sri Lanka food tour, tailor made

Wildlife parks in Sri Lanka such as Yala are experiencing stress through high visitor numbers and a large number of safari jeeps. We advocate visiting more off the beaten track areas of the Yala region and provide awareness to clients on by doing this we are helping to avoid overcrowding in parts of the park which can lead to stress for animals. Block 5 at Yala is a wonderful and wild experience where few visitors venture. It is a thrilling experience and here the wildlife is much shyer but the possibility of seeing Leopard an array of other wildlife is still very much present.

Our local team support wildlife projects. One example is the Elephant Transit Home in Udawalawe managed by the government Department on Wildlife conservation where orphaned/injured elephant calves are trained to obtain the skills of surviving in the wild before being released to the national park later when they are fit and ready enough. Travellers can visit this worthwhile project and see its work.

Clients are asked when travelling on tour to use their own water bottles which are refilled safely rather than using small single use plastic bottles which have blighted the landscapes and beaches all over the world.

Our local team in Sri Lanka are extremely pro active on sustainability issues and are at the forefront of improving awareness of environmental issues in tourism all across Asia and have been instrumental in diverting tourists away from establishments that use captive animals to attract tourists which has been a problem in countries like Sri Lanka.
