Sri Lanka Safari Tour Reviews
- Private Sri Lanka Wildlife Tour 2024
Good organization - had a nice tour with a friendly guide!
This is one of the most beautiful countries I've ever been to. I've travelled a fair bit throughout Asia, and Sri Lanka offers everything. From sandy beaches, glamping, jungle, safari's, temples, hippy bars, mountain treks. This tour was pretty jam packed, but I felt like you definitely got your money worth and really made the most of your time there. The highlight of the tour was climbing Sigiriya rock. It wasn't too hard, but the climb was worth it at the top to see the amazing views. My favourite place on the tour was Ella. The hotel was the nicest place i've ever stayed in my life, makes a change from backpacker life around Asia!! The hotel was full of plants, flowers, was so nice and clean, and had the most amazing mountain view to wake up to every morning. Thank you so much to Sam and the crew, who gave us so much history and information about their country. Love you guys!
