A very enjoyable trip, the highlight of which was the river boat safari. We saw an incredible number of animals - and we still can’t get over how our boat skipper managed to spot a perfectly camouflaged chameleon from about 30 metres!

Vi tillbringade två veckor på Avani Resort i Bentota. På stranden nedanför hotellet fick vi kontakt med Shiran Tours, ett företag vi fick starkt förtroende för. Vi bokade en safari till Yala, en valsafari och även en båtsafari på Bentotafloden och är jättenöjda med alla turerna. Vi kan verkligen rekommendera Shiran Tours. Shiran är en bra guide och vi fick lära oss en hel del om naturen och om hur folket lever på Sri Lanka. Företagen som Shiran samarbetar med vid de olika utflykterna var mycket professionella och ansträngde sig verkligen för att det skulle bli en bra upplevelse. Vi fick alltid ett vänligt bemötande och glada tillrop och fick blev ofta bjudna på kokosnöt när vi träffades på stranden. Tack Shiran, för härliga upplevelser och ett trevligt bemötande! Niklas och Kristina
