WHAT OUR GUESTS SAY
Stories from photographers who have experienced Sri Lanka with us.

Every Apex expedition is shaped by the wildlife, the photographer and the moments that unfold in the field.
From first-time visitors to returning guests, these are the experiences of photographers who have explored Sri Lanka's wild places with us.
WORDS FROM THE FIELD
For us, a successful expedition is about more than remarkable wildlife sightings.
It is about understanding what the photographer is looking for, creating the time and space to work with each opportunity, and taking care of the details that allow our guests to simply enjoy being in the field.
These are their words.

First Time in Sri Lanka
Nick Hawkk · Switzerland
“I travelled to Sri Lanka for the first time. As a wildlife photographer I was looking for a good partner who could offer the needs of such a journey.
Amila was a very good choice, pre-communication, pick-up at the airport and guidance during the whole travel worked very well. I appreciated very much the making-off videos he provided after the journey.
I can highly recommend traveling with Amila!”

FIRST TIME IN SRI LANKA
It was an exceptional experience overall with Amila. It was my first experience where I felt safari was done based on my personal preferences and with a very personal touch. I really appreciate how carefully Amila positioned the vehicle during every sighting. He always made sure I had the best possible angle for photography and was genuinely attentive to what I wanted and my preferences. I would highly recommend Amila for anyone who is looking for a personalised experience.
