Our driver picked us up right from our hotel in Kosgoda and made the Udawalawe safari completely stress-free. We saw so many elephants, and he knew exactly where to look. A really personal, private experience.
Booked the Kandy and Nuwara Eliya two-day tour while staying in Bentota. The pace was relaxed, the tea plantation stop was beautiful, and our driver was patient with our kids the whole way. Highly recommend for families.
The Madu River safari and turtle hatchery combo was the perfect half-day trip without leaving our Kosgoda base. Easy WhatsApp booking, on-time pickup, and a very knowledgeable guide on the boat.
We only had one free day from our beach hotel and asked for a tailor-made plan. They arranged Galle Fort in the morning and a sunset stop after — exactly what we wanted, at our own pace.
