Elephants, Drummers & Beaches

Explore Sri Lanka with us as we take you on jeep safaris and elephant rides, through tea plantations and spice gardens, with tropical beach time at the end of your journey. We cycle around the Medieval Capital of Polonnaruwa, and take an elephant back safari at Minneriya National Park in search of wild elephants and other wildlife. We climb the Rock Fortress at Sigiriya and visit the Hill Capital of Kandy, where we watch Kandyan dancers, drummers and fire-walking. We walk though spice gardens to learn about the local spices, and visit a Tea Factory and Plantation to learn how the world famous ?Ceylon Tea? is made. We see the baby elephants at the Uda Walawe National Park Transit Home, take a jeep safari into the park, and then visit the old walled city of Galle. At the end of our holiday we go river canoeing before time to relax on the palm-fringed beaches of the south coast at Bentota. Here there are many optional water sport activities, or you can just relax on the white sand beach or by the pool ? a perfect end to your time in Sri Lanka.
