Prasanjith briefing on the food at the dinner table to Isabelle and Bert
20 September 2014
To Jith,
Thank you for organizing the most wonderful tour of Sri Lanka for us. We loved every minute. It is such a beautiful country. We thank you to Upali also – a wonderful driver, guide, naturalist and friend. Finally thank you for letting us stay at your amazing house and sharing special family time with Nirosha and Dinitha and us. Such an honour to meet you all. It felt like we had known each other for years! And the Sri Lanka feast on our final night was delicious – we will be dreaming of the food when we are back in Australia!
We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Sri Lanka. We were very happy with our driver Manju who went out of his way to help us and was kind and friendly as well as a safe driver. Our holiday was a mix of culture, wildlife and family fun with some birding for the bird-watcher in the family. We felt it was a good balance for us at this time and would recommend Sri Lanka to other families with kids.
Thank you again for a wonderful holiday! My wife and I first came to Sri Lanka in 1983 on a cultural tour and the amazing sights we saw have stayed in our hearts and minds to this day. I am an avid bird watcher and Jith was recommended by a friend from our local Bird Club. So in Feb 2009 I traveled with Bob a birdwatching mate to Sri Lanka for two weeks intensive birdwatching with Jith and Mr. Silva. We were not disappointed! Not only was it a memorable trip we made a lifelong friend w Jith.

Birds & Wildlife of Sri Lanka
Jith – Thank you so much for organizing and leading a superb trip to your wonderfully interesting and beautiful island.
Thank you also for ensuring that all 12 of us enjoyed our varied interests in the wildlife; cultural sites and of course, the amazing birds.
Each of us have many memories which will last a lifetime and your commentary on the culture, history and peoples of Sri Lanka was delightful.
From the mountains of Nuwara Eliya to the rainforest at Kitulgala; from the leopards of Yala to the bird wave of Sinharaja.
Thank you,
Tony O’Neill
