Sustainability & Community

Holidays that help protect it

We keep our groups small, use family-run guesthouses and local restaurants where they suit the trip, and book activities with operators who treat wildlife with respect.

    Respect, explained early

    In Practice

    What we do on every journey

    Heritage, Environment & Community

    Buying locally, wherever we can

    In and around Imaduwa we buy locally: drivers, guides, cooks and village hosts from the area, produce from local markets and handicrafts from local makers.

    Where the money stays

    Travel Lightly

    Travel lightly, travel well

    Refillable water bottles in every vehicle, modest dress at religious sites and a respectful approach to photography. Small choices that leave Sri Lanka better for the next traveller.
