Whale Watching and Wildlife Safari was the most memorable part of this trip (more)Phil Miller
The accommodation was the most luxurious, most welcoming, most helpful place we have ever stayed in; and the walks through the tea estate with idyllic views of the reservoir and surrounding hills, both relaxing and inspiring.

This was an excellent vacation that allowed me to see a lot of wildlife. (more)Genevieve Morris
Most memorable was Tsingy de Behamara and getting stuck in the mud when our 4WD became a 2WD due to a fault. Mantadia, Ranomafana and Kirindy are fabulous national parks/reserves. Isalo landscape is stunning. (more)Paul Shepherd

All the parts of the vacation were good. Excellent trip. (more)Lucy Hadfield
It was all exciting really from the beautiful beachside hotels to the wildlife parks. At Palagama beach the food was amazing especially when I was shown their own vegetable garden and we picked fresh vegetables that were cooked as individual curries for my dinner that evening. I felt as if I had been away for at least a month - I had seen and done so much in that two weeks. (more)Susie Barrett

Memorable parts?
Snorkelling with Manta Rays. You need to be a very strong swimmer to get in the sea with the Mantas as they move very quickly. You also need to be confident with your snorkelling equipment as you will need to get it on/off very quickly. The marine biologist who co-ordinated the trip is very supportive and gives you lots of advice on how to be in the water.
Tips?
The Maldives is an expensive destination so you need to factor this into your vacation spending budget.... (more)Elayne Farmer

The most memorable moments were seeing a leopard on our safari in Wilpattu National Park, the beauty of the Knuckles, Gal Oya and the elephants in Udawalawe National Park. (more)Lis Turner
The amazing scenery, friendly relaxed people and gorgeous wildlife. (more)Rebecca Sandys
The best part was Gal Oya National Park, where just the two of us and our guides were able to watch 5-6 different herds of elephants quietly feeding approximately 300 m away. We would highly recommend that people visit Sri Lanka so as to experience a country and people filled with genuine warmth. (more)Laura Ruykys

Most memorable was Bird Island - so full of wildlife, giant tortoises, thousands of birds - and idyllic beaches... Brilliant! (more)Lindsay Budgen
Best bit: Cycling around the Northern-most point of La Digue, Seychelles, and discovering Giant Tortoises crossing the road to hang out on the beach. (more)Petra Olliffe

The highlight was staying in Ella and walking in the hill country and snorkelling in the Maldives. Very good, loved the Maldives. (more)Annmarie Woodcraft
The most memorable part of our vacation was snorkelling in the Maldives. It was amazing to see sharks, fish and sea turtles on the reef. It was a surreal experience...Overall, I would rate our vacation 10/10. We had a great time in all the countries we visited, the locals were very friendly and hospitable. (more)Tracy Watson
Flying in a seaplane over the Maldives and landing in the lagoon by Filitheyo Island where we spent an amazing week was the most memorable part. (more)Greg Harris

Sri Lanka has it all - history, wonderful food and stunning
landscapes. (more)Simon Weatherseed

Memorable parts?

From
€1,830

Memorable parts?
The overall sense of Mauritius we gained through the variety of people, backgrounds, culture, history and wildlife we experienced. The first day encountering the giant tortoises on Ile aux Aigrettes was awesome as was watching the flying foxes soar and glide in the Bambous Virieux valley.
Tips?

Memorable parts?
Seeing leopards drinking at the waterside and sloth bears at Wilpattu National Park.
Tips?
We went on a wildlife tour of Sri Lanka and suggest you give yourselves a few rest days between safaris to recuperate as well as giving you more time to enjoy
the resorts where you are staying.
Local benefits?
Safari guides and drivers were employed from the local community as were hotel staff. The hotels where we stayed were environmentally aware. The National Parks... (more)Kim Plumb
From
US $2,865
excluding flights
Memorable parts?
Snorkelling with a group of feeding manta rays for about 40 minutes. Unforgettable.
Tips?
Take a few days on either side - go to one of the local islands. Actually - take the days beforehand, as it's hard to imagine anything living up to the boat trip (bearing in mind that we'd never been on a snorkelling trip or anything like this, so we can't compare).
Local benefits?
All of the above to some extent. Guide was very aware of environmental impact, we also... (more)David O

Watching a young Aye Aye come down from the canopy to eat on a night walk was the most memorable.
Tips?
Bring plenty of wallets to split your local cash- due to the exchange you will be carrying great wads.
Local benefits?
Yes. Really enjoyed planting a tree at the Lemur project- a step towards helping with deforestation.

There were so many memorable experiences on our vacation - white water rafting to the set of the Bridge on the the River Kwai, watching the sun rise from
Little Adam's Peak outside Ella, the train journey from Ella to Nanuoya, climbing Lion Rock at Sigiriya early in the morning, scuba diving for the first time at
Pasikuda - but the stand-out one has to be seeing hundreds of elephants, including many babies, at Kaudulla, because we hadn't planned it, but our driver

Memorable parts?
We were bold over by the quality of the hotels.
Tips?
The vacation is ideal for those wishing to relax and take things at a leisurely pace. Be aware most of the hotels are located in fairly remote locations so not ideal for sightseeing or activities but our driver was very good at suggesting an itinerary that suited us and fitted plenty of things on our travel days maximising our time.
Local benefits?
Not directly but we did visit and support some environmental... (more)Stuart McFarlane

So many things were memorable...
We were very well looked after by our tour operator who made sure we had all the information before our arrival and until the day of our arrival with the airport transfer, and having someone physically there to greet us at Male airport to make sure we got on out last flight. After arrival Ruth from our tour operator was also on hand if we had any questions.
Being driven straight to our room when we arrived very late at night after 27 hours... (more)Katarina Nielsen

Memorable parts?
Snorkelling in the reefs, staying on islands that were not touristic and having heaps of fun with my guide Kokko
Tips?
Be prepared to spend time chilling out in the afternoons as it is hot.
Local benefits?
yes, staying in local guest houses, eating meals with families and using local boats and crews benefitted the community. The only negative is the reliance on bottle water and the subsequent waste generated.
Overall rating?

It was fantastic to spend time with local Maldivians and to get a genuine feel for their country and lifestyle. Another highlight was snorkelling with turtles and manta rays in the crystal clear aquamarine waters off some of the many islands. The Maldivians are incredibly kind people and their country is breathtakingly beautiful!
Tips?

- Take an underwater camera or GoPro, if at all possible.

We were very impressed with all aspects of this vacation and felt that it was faultless throughout. The itinerary suited us and went like clockwork, our guide and driver were excellent, the hotels and food were beyond our expectations. (more)Alan Vaughan
Most memorable were the National parks, lemurs and chameleons.... Great vacation. Stayed in some lovely places. People were very friendly. Food was good and rum cheap!! (more)Janet White Spunner
This was the best vacation I have ever had. I enjoyed every minute. The group size of eight people was ideal. My previous visit to Madagascar (with another
company) was like 'a school trip' rigid and over organised. This trip was very well organised, yet had a degree of flexibility. (more)Jean Dance

There was just so much more to see and hear than we imagined Tsingy National Park: Such a unique and bizarre landscape. Chameleons and birds: Without the guides we doubt we would have seen so many but the number and variety was astonishing. Whale watching and snorkeling with the turtles and Angle Fish camping on the riverside and the meal prepared that night after the canoe trip. (more)Eric Gussin
The highlight was the interaction with the people and nature that surrounded us. Great expedition destination. (more)Angel Rodriguez
