Memorable parts? The most memorable and exciting part of our holiday in Sri Lanka was undoubtedly the sunrise ascent of Sigiriya Rock. Climbing the ancient rock fortress under the early morning sky was an experience that transcended the ordinary and left an indelible mark on our hearts. As we ascended the steep staircase, surrounded by the remnants of a once-majestic kingdom, the anticipation grew with each step. The breathtaking panoramic views unfolding as we reached the summit were ... (more)Natalie Bell

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

We tried to eat in local restaurants when we could. We visited local industries and a turtle conservation project. Overall rating? A full on tour, but we managed to see and do a lot in the country. I always want to see as much as I can as I may never return again!! (more)Beth Walsh

If I had to name one (memorable) part it would be seeing "the gathering" - 150+ elephants in one place was awe inspiring. Or perhaps seeing three leopards in one day or the sloth bears. Then there is the food.....wow (more)Stuart Gadd

Memorable parts? Every single minute of my stay, from the warm welcome by manager Kamal and his jungle team, until I reluctantly departed 4 days later. I enjoyed two safaris in Yala National Park guided by Kamal in his naturalist capacity and an excellent, experienced, eagle-eyed safari driver, we saw glimpses of 2 leopards - one in a tree and one hiding in the bushes - as well as elephants, water buffalo, languars, wild boar, golden jackal and spotted deer. I really enjoyed the ... (more)Gillian Risbridger
