We had an amazing 10 days.
Collected from the airport in a lovely air conditioned vehicle with plenty of room for 6 . But there were 4 of us plus driver .
First hotel only 39 mins from airport was lovely, checked in, given a rundown of the next day and left to chill . Had a nice swim, read a book and a very nice dinner . ( this was a la carte not buffet)
Next morning, not too early a start . In to the elephant orphanage ( in all honesty I would give this a miss) then onto a Buddhist temple after stopping on route for lunch.
We then arrived at our second hotel that we stayed in for 3 nights. Fabulous hotel and grounds .
Amazing day at the national park. Lots of wildlife including elephants ( best ever day) fun day in a jeep , excellent ranger .
Visit to a local village, made a meal etc really good . Trip to a spa . Hotel food was good but buffet ( they do have a la carte at a small additional cost)
Then onto Candy to the Buddhist temple. ( def worth a visit)
Onto Little England and a really lovely quaint hotel with beautiful grounds, amazing food and service.
Had a day touring adhoc locally , a Hindu temple , village, visited another small hotel. Met several lovely local people
Has a fabulous trip on the train, scenery totally beautiful
Then onto Yala and my favourite hotel. Lodges in the jungle with excellent a la carte restaurant near the beach. Monkeys were the order of the day even joining us at the rooftop pool on one evening. Another national park and then back down the coast to the hotel we stayed first night .
We would totally reccomend this trip, nothing is too much trouble, driver excellent . Happy to change things to suit and as two ladies travelling we felt so safe .
Thank you all so so much xxxx
