I loved Sri Lanka there was only 3 of us so we did much more than would of been possible with a bigger group. AV our guide was so knowledgeable and provide so many extra experiences. The cooking class.. getting me a cake for my birthday. The Maldives swimming with sharks was also a dream of mine so that was amazing

The first night meal in Sri Lanka was lovely - Amara our guide had organised a table outside with candles right by the ocean! Great food too....an upbeat start to the holiday. The elephant safari was amazing too and Amara managed to get us to Galle just in time for the sunset which was brilliant. In Maldives the BBQ/meal on an uninhabited island was spectacular. The crew and guide had dug out a table and chairs in sand and made cushions out leaves. This food was also wonderful and the crew and cook went to a lot of effort to transport it in quite rough seas! The sunsets - amazing in both Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

We loved the whole trip but feel that it is a bit disingenuous to show a leopards as the main picture for the tour as it appears that they are very rarly seen on any safari.
