It is with great pleasure that I review our 2 week tour with Serendib Roots. We had a wonderful time when every detail was catered for. I thought that it was great that I could relax and not think or plan as everything was expertly taken care of by Sihan. Sihan and Tilhan went well beyond what one could reasonably expect in producing the best possible experience for us. The pace was perfect with time to relax. We really couldn't recommend Serendib Roots highly enough. It is always a worry when one books a tour from the other side of the planet with the hope and trust that all will turn out well but in this case no worry was needed. Everything was perfect. Thank you so very much.Show more

We are so happy to have spent our Christmas vacation with Serendib Roots and we honestly want to say we are humbly thankful to everything they did for us. Kapila our guide was so kind and represented the country's genuine hospitality qualities. The assistance received from the office was great. The country is safe to travel and I would say everything is good for travelers. We will visit this beauty land once again soon. Thanks again for your hospitality!Show more

I traveled as a solo traveler for the first time to Sri Lanka and this tour gave me with all the experiences I actually expected as a professional wildlife photographer. The team was perfect from the very first moment to the last and specially the guide Gayan who was a real friend to me throughout the journey. I Highly recommend this tour for anyone who's willing to experience the wildlife of Sri Lanka.Show more
