1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
We went on a safari and we’re able to see so many elephants up close in the National park they live in. We even saw a few wild ones in the side of the road while driving from place to place. Surreal!2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Be ready for a packed itinerary and a good amount of walking. The only down time is the evening but you have early starts so you’ll probably want to sleep early3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes it definitely did. We ate most of our meals cooked by/with a local family that normally wouldn’t have access to tourists. The operator also provided us with filtered water so we wouldn’t have to buy plastic bottles4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
It was excellent. Our guide was so knowledgeable and tapped us into the local community. The excursions were a great mix of activities where you could really see and understand how the local people liveRaymond Dennison review 5 Mar 2022
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
To be honest everyday was memorable as we had such a diverse itinerary Probably seeing wild elephants and lion rock stand out but also the days we spent hiking and meeting the tea picking ladies was amazing2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Make sure to bring plenty of t-shirts as it’s hot hot hot ! Take time to explore Colombo it is an amazing city and the tuk tuk drivers are very cheap- on my last day I hired a guy for 5 hours and he only asked me for 3000 rupees or about £13 - I gave him £20 it was well worth it and make sure you visit the Hindu temple Sri Ponnambula it is truly amazing ! Apart from that keep an open mind and really suck in the culture and the food is absolutely amazing ! All in all Sri Lanka is awesome !!3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I feel that it benefits locals as we visited a lot of local rural areas and spent money in their economy - we had local guides also and this supplements their income - the local rural community lives to welcome “sudos “ and they are so friendly it is very humbling4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
5* holiday it will live very long in the memory - I’ve never taken so many pics and I will cherish looking back at them in the futureGisela Charette review 1 Apr 2019

The local contact we had was superb... we ate at farmers houses, we walked among their tea plantations, we mingled with restaurant owners... the eco lodge was an added bonus and we could see first hand the benefit the lodge had to providing employment to the local village.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
This was a great holiday...well planned with a good variety of activities. As the trip was winding down, we had some beautiful rest days on the sandy beaches of Mirissa... a great way to end.Holiday Reviews
