Provider checklist — Sri Lanka
Last updated:
Ask these questions in writing before you book. A reputable provider will answer them clearly. Evasion or vague responses are a red flag.
- (Wildlife) Does the program allow ANY tourist contact with elephants, sea turtles, or other wildlife?
- (Children) Are placements at residential children's homes? (Refuse if yes.)
- Is your local partner registered as an NGO with the relevant Sri Lankan registry?
- What's the transport arrangement, particularly after dark?
