Sri Lanka is a beautiful country with beautiful people. We enjoyed the mix of the cultural triangle, hill country and beach which was ideal for a small group of friends with slightly varying preferences. There was something for everyone. (more)Angela Whyte

vacation ever. All the staff and teams throughout our vacation experience have been absolutely exemplar. (more)Melinda Rees
We loved every part of our vacation! Seeing all of the animals in The Naboisho Conservancy was incredible. Learning about Masai culture around the campfire from our guides was very meaningful. Ending our vacation at a small boutique resort on the coast was perfect. (more)Hanna Nedrud

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?
I loved it and will definitely... (more)Vicki Carmichael

I found the Avenue of the Boababs to be the most memorable part of this trip. The sheer size and age of them is very breathtaking and I could have just stood
there for hours, I'm glad we got to go once at sunrise and once at sunset.

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

The operator put together a really varied itinerary for us and so we were able to have some wonderful relaxation time with gorgeous sunsets (staying at the top of Chamarel was a highlight for the view!), incredible food at SALT, a lovely kayaking afternoon whilst glamping at Otentic, and a fabulous time swimming with sea turtles off of Grand Baie (more)Helen Dennis

From

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
From
£2,565

Memorable parts?
The hike up Ella Rock
Tips?
Don’t waste any time in Colombo. Book hotels based upon recommendations if possible. There is a huge variety of quality at apparently the same standard. Old colonial is no longer necessarily the best.
Local benefits?
A mixture of all
Overall rating?
Brilliant! (more)Darren Cartlidge

Memorable parts?
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?
- Go with an open mind and a sense of humour!
- Take an underwater camera or GoPro, if at all possible.
- Pack sun lotion and a... (more)Sandra Schuler

We must say that our guide Kokko was a very good one, very friendly and always very punctual, helpful and knowledgeable. He made our tour worthwhile.
If when we booked the tour we had been told that we would be doing it just at the start of the Ramadan period, and that it would affect our visit, we would have chosen other dates. However don't take our comments as complaints, we thought that the fact of having been in the Maldives during Ramadan was an experience which we had not had in any of... (more)Josefa Lullington

Memorable parts?
Seeing leopards drinking at the waterside and sloth bears at Wilpattu National Park.

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.

helped to evolve, gave us the chance to experience the best possible combination of activities. (more)Tim Woolman
If forced to select only one distinct memory, then it has to
be the people of Sri Lanka. They are so warm, welcoming and happy to help.
(more)Andrew Lawson
The vacation was excellent. The country is very beautiful and small enough to see a lot in 2 weeks. People are very friendly and having English spoken and on signage everywhere helps. We enjoyed the balance of wildlife, culture, walking and R&R. (more)Tina Antill

US $2,899

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

Memorable parts?
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.

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.

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.

Excellent... witnessing the Indri lemurs calling to each other in the trees in front of us and rafting the river rapids were probably my top two memories (more)Kerry Abbiss
