Why We Love This Deal
Sri Lanka delivers the richness of South Asia in a country that feels easier to navigate. India’s colour, Africa’s wildlife rhythm and Britain’s colonial footprint coexist here. The difference is scale. Distances are shorter. English is widely spoken. Culture, wildlife and coastline sit within easy reach of each other. Hotels feel like resorts, not stopovers. The pace feels considered, not rushed. This 14-day premium small-group tour shows it properly. Safari in Yala National Park and Minneriya National Park. Cruise the Madu River through mangroves and village life. Climb Sigiriya Rock Fortress at sunrise. Visit Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic. Stay two nights at the colonial Grand Hotel Nuwara Eliya with high tea. Ride the iconic hill-country train. End on the beach in Negombo. Optional experiences add flexibility, from cycling ancient ruins to wetland exploration. With 4–5-star hotels and no more than 16 guests, this popular tour is thoughtfully designed and expertly delivered.

Venture into Yala National Park for wildlife sightings across open plains, spotting elephants, leopards, birds and other native species on a thrilling safari.
