Holly is a true Sri Lanka enthusiast, with a talent for designing holidays that blend the must-see highlights with the hidden corners of the country.

Holly's insider tip: "For a truly magical experience, take an early morning safari in Wilpattu National Park. It’s quieter than some of the other parks, and the chance to spot leopards in their natural habitat is unforgettable."

Lynsey’s love for Sri Lanka began during her travels across the island, where she was captivated by its warm people, diverse landscapes, and mouthwatering food. Her expertise lies in creating itineraries that balance relaxation and adventure, with a special focus on ethical travel and supporting local communities.
Lynsey’s insider tip: “In Yala National Park, skip the busy Block 1 and head to the quieter Block 5 instead. It’s far less crowded, and you’ll actually feel like you’re in the wild. Leopards can be elusive, but there’s so much more to see – think elephants, crocodiles, spotted deer, water buffalo, mongoose, peacocks, and incredible birdlife.”
