Amazing day, lots of animals, great tour guide - Amazing day! I highly recommend Dimuthu for tours! Some of my friends booked another trip with him after our positive experience. We were a group of 7 friends. I highly recommend this tour. Early start but the pickup minibus was comfy and air-conditioned. Got to Udawalawe and transferred into our safari jeeps then had a full tour around the park. We saw several elephants, lots of lizards and big birds, even a rare type of mongoose. Our friends in the other car even had an elephant touch them and try to steal their bags! Then it was the elephant transit home, where we saw baby elephants being fed and a very interesting museum. Then it was the transfer to Yala national park, on the way Dimuthu stopped and got us some mango from the roadside, and later when he realised we liked it bought us sooo much fruit to keep us going, drinks and biscuits! And at no point did he make us feel like we needed to pay him back (obviously earned himself a tip though!) Before the next safari we had some food at a nice restaurant with English speakers and menus for our benefit 😬, good prices and great food! At Yala we had more awesome drivers and despite a lot of rain we saw not one but TWO LEOPARDS AND A SLOT BEAR! Also saw lots of elephants including family units. A very long day but I highly recommend, and Dimuthu is very accommodating.

Excellent days out with caring and accommodating tour guide - We did several tours with Dimu. Each one was a delight. He was exceptionally accommodating to our wants and needs and bent over backwards to ensure we were well cared for when some of us fell ill. The double safari was a long day, but excellent. We were very lucky and saw all the best best sights during the day with Dimu stopping at other sights for photos and to buy us all various fruits, drinks and snacks. Highly recommended.

Weekend of happiness at Udawalawe and Yala - Have not long arrived home from the most amazing holiday in Sri Lanka! This was mainly due to the trips that Dimuthu had planned for us. The trips we went on were fantastic. Our two day safari will be something that will be stay with us for a long time. Udawalawe was amazing! To see all those baby elephants being cared for in the way the Sri Lankian people do, is fantastic! Yala Safari was great too and we were very fortunate to see the leopard! These trips are a must for anyone visiting Sri Lanka Everyone we met during the day were so friendly! Cannot thank Dimuthu enough for all his organising and making all our day trips great. Nothing was too much trouble for Dimuthu.

Excellent, caring guide - DIM is very responsive to messages by email or WhatsApp. We spent 4 days with him. He is an excellent guide and driver. He is courteous, discreet, patient, well organized and punctual, everything is simple with him. He always cares if everything is okay and if we need anything. His car is clean, comfortable and suitable for long journeys, the seats recline for sleeping when you leave early or taking a nap between 2 stages. For even more comfort there were travel neck straps. Water is always available. Once the stages have been chosen, he takes care of everything, from booking hotels to reserving train tickets or tickets to sites to visit. We enjoyed our vacation in Sri Lanka thanks to these good times spent with DIM 5⭐️ Many thanks DIM🙏
