Frequently Asked Questions About Sri Lanka Holidays
How do private chauffeur tours work in Sri Lanka?
Your dedicated English-speaking chauffeur-guide meets you at Colombo airport with an air-conditioned car or mini-coach. They stay at designated driver quarters at each hotel, navigate the roads, share local history, and remain at your service throughout your tour.
When is the best time to see leopards in Yala National Park?
Yala is excellent between January and July when the dry season causes wildlife to gather near waterholes. Note that Yala Block 1 traditionally closes for maintenance during September and October, during which we route safaris through Wilpattu and Udawalawe.
