FAQ’s
Why do I need a travel company?
The beauty of Sri Lanka is that it is unpredictable and is still undiscovered in many ways. You may find things you weren’t aware of or cultural sensitivities you wished you’d known before you travelled. People you meet may not always be reliable and you may be taken advantage of. You may miss out on a great festival because you didn’t know it was happening or have plans on a day where you find everything shut-down because of a local holiday. By booking with Jungle Fowl you have Sri Lankans creating your holiday for you, giving you an insider’s perspective of the country. This way, you get to make the most of your holiday, knowing that everything has been thoughtfully planned for an insightful, unforgettable experience.
