With the dawn of the school vacation Ebert Silva Holidays offer two exciting and educative packages for kids and parents to have memorable experiences. An exclusive day tour covering the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage with a visit to the World Heritage City of Kandy will be a tour to remember!
Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage which was begun with the initial concept of nurturing, protecting and caring for injured and abandoned wild elephants is where the largest herd of captive Asian elephants are found. The time spent at the orphanage will give an insight and opportunity to witness the feeding of milk to the babies, seeing the herd in the free roaming area, and watching the herd leave to the Maha Oya River to bathe. Observing the natural behaviour of these gentle giants as they play and interact with each other in the waters, in the picturesque setting is indeed a wonderful sight.
After lunch in Pinnawala, the tour will leave to the historic hill capital, Kandy, where a unique open deck experience with a guided commentary and a delightful boat ride on the scenic Kandy Lake, which was once a lush paddy field, will enable the travellers to get an understanding of the historical importance, the city’s arts and crafts and its continued heritage.
The second package by Ebert Silva Holidays for the school holidays is a Colombo City Fun Ride in and around the city of Colombo with treats and gifts from Elephant House. The professional commentary will include the history of the city, the showcasing of the remnants of the Portuguese, Dutch and the British and the changing skyline of the city with the latest exciting additions with quizzes and gifts to winners. The harbour area, old Colombo, Pettah area and other monuments in the city will be seen such as the Town Hall, Museum and others. Stops at the Viharamahadevi Park, the Independence Square and the Arcade will give the kids opportunities to play and enjoy whilst having the unique experience and knowledge from seeing the city on an open deck double decker making it a school vacation to remember.
