Sri Lanka Heritage & Wildlife

Everything went smoothly from the moment we arrived.
We travelled to Sri Lanka with our two children and booked the Heritage & Wildlife tour. Before coming, the Wild Outside team answered all our questions and changed some parts of the itinerary to make it easier for us as a family. Our driver was waiting for us at the airport, and from that moment everything went smoothly. He explained many of the places we visited, recommended local food and was very patient with the kids. We always felt safe travelling with him. The children loved the elephants, of course, but the safari was a highlight for all of us. Our safari driver spotted animals we would never have noticed ourselves. We also really enjoyed having the cultural sites and wildlife together in one trip. The hotels were clean and comfortable and we felt everything was very well organised for a family.
