We have been on 3 trips with Walkwithjith March 2008;Feb 2013 and March 2018. We enjoyed the experience hugely, not only for the birding and general wildlife, but to see and understand the culture of the island. The personal touch and friendship were a prime feature which makes us return. The guides were highly informed and determined for us to see and understand the wildlife . We thoroughly recommend the experience.

Brilliant Trip

Wonderful tour of a number of key sites, seeing all endemics in about a week, Jith tours were excellent with all arrangements, and particularly the guide being highly competent, very affable and flexible. Highly recommend this Company and Birding in Sri Lanka. They are very flexible on arrangements and making changes on the ground if feasible. Do liaise with Jith on requirements, level of accommodation and take into account the slow travel times between locations. Overall excellent and great value.

Myself and an American friend booked a private tour. Jith personally collected us from the airport and drove us to a hotel near the airport. The next morning he introduced us to our guide Thilina. The focus of the tour was the endemics, migrants and other birds from the south of the sub-continent. We saw all the endemic birds well plus over 200 other species. Additionally we saw good numbers of mammals including some great leopard sighting. Thilina was an excellent guide and the tour was very well organised. Nothing was too much trouble for him and with his network of local contacts he was always able to locate even the most difficult species. Mostly we traveled in a comfortable 8 seater vehicle although at some sites we transferred to a 4WD vehicle. Then areas we visited included Kitulgala, Sigiriya, Unwatta, Nuwara, Horton, Yale, Udawala, Bundala and Sinharaja. If you're thinking of visiting Sri Lanka I would recommend 'Walk with Jith' - if you do ask for Thilina ! The cost of the tour was remarkably good value given that we had just a group of 2. Before the tour Jith was excellent in his response to my enquiries and requests. Often an email would arrive back the same day.

Exceptional organizing. top birding and wildlife guides

The tour was organized for two friends of mine from US. The guide was extremely knowledgeable about wildlife and especially birds. He had good hunch for the need of the guests. Courses service. He knew locations very well. Found us good resting and dining places. Safe driving. Will always be a pleasure to travel and wildlife with him.

Fantastic 12 day tour with WalkWithJith in december 2018 - our guide Thilina was outstanding, finding birds that we would have never found ourselves, and always making sure we got onto them quickly, and working incredibly hard every day to make sure we were happy, and taking time to tell us about the sites we were visiting. Highlights included scaly thrush in Horton Plains NP, jungle cat in Uda walawe NP, and a brilliant bird-filled day in Yala NP. Accommodation and food was brilliant throughout the tour. Communication with Jith was easy and he tailoured the tour perfectly to our requirements. Highly recommended.
