My Sri Lanka Travel Guide

I'm Rina, Ker & Downey's Social Media Manager.

I just came back from Sri Lanka-a tropical paradise that's surprisingly still off the travel radar. Most sun seekers opt for nearby Maldives (it's only a 45 minute flight away) and culture hounds escape to India. Yes, you can easily add both to a custom Sri Lanka journey.

But for me, Sri Lanka is a standalone destination. You could spend at least two weeks on this tropical island and still not experience it all!

Our recent client couldn't stop raving about their unforgettable Botswana safari. Thank you for trusting us to make your safari dreams come true!

"You have now booked perhaps the three best trips we have ever taken. Your dedication and professionalism are pretty unique in our experience. We saw lots of elephants, giraffes, two leopards, and lions. The guide and tracker were excellent. The highlight was seeing a face-off involving a leopard and hyena. The hyena retreated."

On an African safari, you won't dread the alarm clock.

The early hours is a special time of day when the savannah comes alive. Cooler temperatures mean animals are more active, so you'll catch them hunting, grazing, and even playing. There's nothing like watching the sunrise cast golden light over the landscape.
