What's this trip about?

    Over ten magical days, our Sri Lanka photography holiday will transport you through lush jungles, rolling tea plantations and over dramatic, palm-fringed beaches. We’ll travel by mountain trains and open top safari jeeps, snoozing in our hand-picked selection of boutique hotels and dining where the locals only know about. Sri Lanka has seduced travellers for centuries. Marco Polo described it as the ‘finest island in the world’, while successive waves of Indians, Arab and European traders and adventurers flocked to its palm-fringed shores, attracted by reports of rare spices, precious stones and magnificent elephants. Marco Polo’s bold claim still rings true. Sri Lanka packs an extraordinary variety of attractions within its modest physical dimensions, and few islands of comparable size can boast a natural environment of such beauty and diversity. This is the ultimate tropical photography tour.
