WalkWithJith als Unternehmen und meinen Guide Susantha Weerappuli kann ich nur auf das Wärmste empfehlen. Planung und Durchführung meiner Reise zur Vogelbeoachtung auf Sri Lanka waren stets kompetent, effizient und freundlich. Alles verlief während der etwas mehr als „ Wochen reibungslos und das Ergebnis hat am Ende alle Erwartungen übertroffen: Ich konnte  in zwei Wochen alle endemischen Arten Sri Lankas sehen, dazu viele weitere Brutvogelarten und Wintergäste – insgesamt über  240 Arten. Sustantha war dabei mit seinen profunden Kenntnissen  ein perfekter Führer durch die Vogelwelt und Sri Lanka´s – und darüber hinaus.

Die gemeinsame Reise war dazu immer entspannt und angenehm und freundschaftlich. Ich kann nur zu einer Vogelbeobachtung auf Sri Lanka mit WalkWithJith und Susantha als Guide ermutigen und werde die Reise in bester Erinnerung  behalten.“

Good morning Jith,

I promised you to write a short feedback.

Thilina was kind enough to adapt to our special requests without any bad feeling & additional cost.

our tour has now nearly ended. I send you the recommendation for your website attached:

Our tour was focused on high quality bird photography in combination with a relaxing holiday. One week in the dry zone around Yala NP has been a great success. Bird photography is not really challenging in Sri Lanka, but I would never been able to get as many high-quality pictures without Thilina.

Hello Jith,

after a save return to Germany and a tough adaptation to our weather I now take my time to write a short review of the four day trip with Upali to Yala and Sinharaja rain forest. First of all ....... What made me choose you was the quick reply and the design of the tour according exactly to my wishes.

So here is my review:

We managed to photograph 120 species to a high quality standard

The tour was very well planned. Driving was kept to minimum using the mid-morning / middy hours when the light is poor for photography.

Our emphasis was on photographing birds, we managed to photograph 120 species to a high quality standard.

Our guide Upali was excellent choice, a very knowledgeable guide and a bird call, song and identification expert.

Upali is also a most careful and considerate motorist.

A special Day at Yala gave us two sights of leopard and two of sloth bear with many photographs.

We have been delighted with the tour and highly recommend it.

It is also very good value.

Auch die lokalen guids waren seher freundlich und Kompetent.

Dear Jith,

Unsere Tour vom 31.1.13 – 08.2.13 war großartig!

Unser guide Rowan hat uns hervorragend geführt und an Plätze und Orte geführt, die wit allein nie gefunden hätten. Auch die lokalen guids waren seher freundlich und Kompetent.

Dadurch war es möglich, viele schöne Beobachtungen und Fotos zu machen. Wir haben ca. 190 Vogelarten gesehen! Dabei waren viele endemische Arten!

Rowan hat uns aber auch viele interessante Dinge und Orte gezeigt und interessantes erzählt, 2.B. von einer Dagoba und einem Tempel.

Auch unser Fahrer Danushka war sehr aufmerksam, hifsbereit und ist ein sehr gutes und sicherer Fahrer!
Besonders danken wir Ruwan, daß er seinen Urlaub für uns und unsere Tour verschoben hat!

A wonderful weekend in Sinharaja Rain Forest!

Dear Jith,
Thank you for a wonderful weekend in Sinharaja Rain Forest! We learned much about birds spiders, butterflies and leeches. And we also have an idea now about the rainforest and how parts of Sri Lanka must have looked like many years ago. Thank you very much for organizing everything so well. We really had a good and relaxing time.
