WILDLIFE SAFARIS AND BIRDWATCHING

CONTACT and support our INITIATIVES

I am 103 rivers flowing through beautiful rural villages.

I am the watersheds of Adams Peak, of Horton Plains and the Ceylon Tea mountains.

I am the leopard and langurs on the wild dunes of Yala.

I am the farmlands of rice-paddies and Cinnamon that ignite your senses.

I am the oceans for whale watching and rainforests for endemics.

I am the slow life of artisans; of elephant corridors and little hamlets.

I am the warm-hearted Sri Lankans, inheritors of a cultural triangle, centuries old.
I am a biodiversity hotspot. An Indian Ocean island, warm all year.

To us, tailor made holidays in Sri Lanka is all about meticulous attention to detail in everything - from the planning process until each trip ends. After our first call, we match the tastes and wishes of each guest with our deep knowledge of our island, draw on partnerships with preferred partner hotels and lodges in Sri Lanka and then add that extra sparkle of unique experiences hosted by our local connections.

We design local experiences revealing the true essence of Sri Lanka. To us, curating private tailor made travel in Sri Lanka is about redefining how luxury travel can make an impact on community economics and cultural conservation by reviving forgotten livelihoods, sustaining unique traditions and showcasing the island’s biodiversity through our Inspiring Walks of Sri Lanka Portfolio and privately guided safaris.  

Each bespoke trip supports our impact-initiatives including children's education and science-led conservation. We pioneered the Sustainable Travel Sri Lanka Initiative to encourage thought leadership and social impact action through tourism. We advocate against elephant back safari rides or any animal exploitation; keep our environmental footprint light and our community ties strong.
