A WILD TIME IN SRI LANKA
When we imagine a tropical island, we think of golden beaches, lush palm trees and blue oceans. So we wouldn’t expect to go on safari. However, Sri Lanka is an island where we should expect to come across the unexpected time and time again.

BEST TIME TO VISIT
Most tropical destinations have a monsoon season and a dry season. Sri Lanka has two monsoons and two dry seasons, so it is important to have a good understanding of the seasons when planning a trip to the island.
TRAVEL
GETTING AROUND SRI LANKA
Most travellers get around the island by hiring a car with a driver from a tour agency. Taking a guided tour is a fantastic way to see the country and it is the most comfortable way to explore the island.
TRAVEL
BEYOND THE TOURIST TRAIL
Many of us dream of moving to a sunny paradise far away so that life would be like a holiday, everyday. Tourist towns very rarely represent real life, so we went beyond the tourist trail in search of the real Sri Lanka.

TURN ON, TUNE IN, DROP OUT
There is a place in Sri Lanka that is often mentioned in conversations with fellow travellers, that place is Mirissa where the sea is turquoise blue, the beach is golden and the sunsets are breathtakingly gorgeous. Mirissa is a small fishing village on the south coast.
