Where Family Adventure Meets Rich Culture

A land of diverse wonders in the Indian Ocean, beckons families with its sun-kissed beaches, thrilling wildlife encounters, and rich cultural heritage.

Sri Lanka, often referred to as the "Pearl of the Indian Ocean," is a captivating family holiday destination that offers a rich tapestry of experiences for all ages. With its diverse landscapes, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality, Sri Lanka welcomes families with open arms.

Colombo, is an excellent destination for families due to its unique blend of cultural, historical, and recreational attractions. Families can explore the city's rich history by visiting landmarks like the National Museum and Independence Square, providing educational experiences for children. The vibrant street markets and diverse cuisine offer exciting culinary adventures, and the beautiful Galle Face Green promenade provides a scenic spot for picnics and leisurely strolls.

Sri Lanka boasts some of the most beautiful beaches in Asia. The calm, shallow waters of spots like Bentota and Mirissa are perfect for children to play and swim, while older family members can indulge in water sports such as snorkelling, surfing, and diving. It is also a paradise for wildlife enthusiasts. Take your family on a safari in one of the national parks like Yala or Minneriya, where you can spot elephants, leopards, and a wide variety of birds.

Explore the island's rich history and culture by visiting ancient cities like Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, where you can discover magnificent ruins, temples, and historical sites. Don't forget the cultural hub of Kandy, home to the Temple of the Tooth and vibrant cultural shows.

Sri Lanka offers a range of adventure activities suitable for families, including trekking in lush rainforests, zip-lining in the jungle, and even white-water rafting in Kitulgala.

The train journeys through the lush tea plantations of Ella and Nuwara Eliya provide a picturesque way for the family to bond and take in the breath-taking scenery.

Sri Lankan food is a delightful mix of flavours, and there's something for everyone. From mild curries to exotic tropical fruits, the cuisine will tantalize your taste buds. Sri Lanka offers a wide range of family-friendly accommodation, from luxury resorts with kids' clubs to cosy guesthouses such as Why House where you can experience the warmth of Sri Lankan hospitality.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
