        TESTIMONIALS

          



        Thank you for an amazing trip. We toured with Joseph for 12 days December/January 2020. Starting in Ngombo, and heading out into the natural beauty of Sigiriya, to back country of Kitulgala and the heights of Ella. We hiked, participated in all the adventure options available. A trip highlight was seeing elephants and other animals on safari. The accommodation was refreshing from a treehouse through to luxury accommodation.
        The natural beauty of Sri Lanka took our breath away, Joseph and Olideb were able to find us accommodation that suited the whole family and facilitated any accommodation changes needed as the trip progressed. Changes to the itinerary were needed to be made at times but all of this was done with ease by Joseph. He even facilitate a last minute fishing experience on our last day to round out the trip.
        This was an unforgetable experience and our first trip to Sri Lanka. I do feel we will be back! Thank you very much Olideb from Ben, Belinda, James and Ella.

        A really enjoyable and interesting tour.  The four safaris were fabulous with knowledgeable driver/guides.  Thanks to Joseph, Alan could participate in all of them.

         Our tour with Olideb Sri Lanka was wonderful. It met all our expectations and more. 

        Firstly, Deb was amazing in planning the trip with me. I had to change our dates and the length of time and it didn’t seem to bother her at all. She was easy to communicate with as she answered all my emails promptly. She had suggestions that worked out perfectly. 

        Secondly, we arrived in the middle of the night to be met by Joseph who immediately took us under his wing and made us feel very comfortable. He took us to Olideb Guesthouse where Deb was waiting with a big smile, cups of tea and a lovely comfortable room. 

        Thirdly, Deb is a great hostess and an excellent cook. The breakfasts were delicious and she even coked us a beautiful Sri Lankan dinner. 

        Lastly, Joseph guided us around in a beautiful white Mercedes with much good humour and patience. He was wonderful company for the two weeks explaining and showing us his beautiful country. He made everything stress free and had great suggestions for things to do along the way. He never minded when we were constantly late! 

        We really want to return to Sri Lanka as soon as we can. Margaret & Peter, Sydney January 2024

        Olideb Sri Lanka Tours Supporting the Community

        Sri Lanka has been through tough times over the last few years and Olideb Sri Lanka provided support where possible.

        During Covid, with the support of Dromana Rotary Club, Victoria, Australia, Olideb was able to provide food parcels to families in need.  Items that were expensive, difficult to obtain and food basics were delivered to over 100  families in Negombo and Pulmoddai.  

        During the political unrest in 2022, there were shortages of milk powder, sugar, medicines and other commodities.  Olideb was again able to assist families in Negombo and Pulmoddai in providing these essential items.

        Individual families have been provided ongoing support over the last three years with school supplies, assistance in paying utility bills, transport assistance and medicines in Negombo, Nuwara Eliya and Pulmoddai.

        Deb also has a small group of children who she assists with learning English, free of charge.

        Olideb also supports local churches, schools and community groups through donations.
