After an early breakfast, you’ll leave Kandy and head eastwards, going further inland. Your next stop is Gal Oya National Park and hopefully a lakeside encounter with a swimming elephant or two. You’ll have no trouble settling in at Gal Oya Lodge, a chic-chi rustic safari camp on the edge of the park. You’ll have two included private safaris: one by boat and one by Land Rover in to the reserve which is the only place in Sri Lanka that you can see mighty pachyderms swimming between the tiny islands that dot the lake. Crocs and deer are plentiful, as are a vast array of fabulous birds – and fingers crossed for an encounter with an elusive sloth bear, jackal or even the A-list leopard.

Your experiences here will be long remembered for their sheer brilliance. Surrounded by sensational views, having a tea estate on your doorstep and hiking trails criss-crossing the countryside, you’ll find this to be a little slice of heaven. Your stay will include a visit to their working tea factory as well as a delicious and therefore obligatory daily high tea. And in between drinking the fragrant nectar and gorging on the delicacies you can lie by the pool or even by the roaring fire in the early evening gin, and tonic in hand, and chat about just how good married life can be.
