@jalbert699 we’re staying in Colombo xx

We stayed on the coast near kalatara and negomba. Each time we did boat trips we enjoyed them so much.  

---

I’m trying to get an idea of how much money we will need and what things we can do whilst we’re there x

---

There are lots of trips. Therebis an elephant orphanage. Every time there was a wedding at one of the hotels an elephant would come to the hotel.  

---

@jalbert699 aw that’s cute! We love animals so I’d love to go on some sort of safari trip if there possible to do. What’s the pricing like for different trips?  

---

We went with our children and got a tuk tuk to a turtle santcuary.  

---

The roads were not very good when we were there and travel was very very slow. We paid the tuk tuk £5 in 2010 he took us to the turtle place and then a different beach for our boys to play in the sea for a few hours!

There safari may be too far / too long a journey from where you are

Answer 2

Prices are higher for tourists than Sri Lankans. Try to visit Pinawala elephant sanctury if you can. Especially watch the walking to the river. Amazing experience.
