Amazing tour - We had such an amazing safari with Udawalawe Safari Jeep Tours. Communication was fab in the lead up and we were advised about the best time of day to see the animals. The tour was fantastic!

What a Tour! - It was the first Safari in my life. We rented a jeep safari with Ajith diamond tours for three hours, which is enough time to enjoy the views and animals. We met about 10 lone elephants and two herds of elephants. Great variety of birds. By the river we saw deer, buffaloes. It is forbidden to get out of the jeep, feed and touch the animals. There is a stop by the river to take photos. Excellent day!

Wonderful day - We had a great safari with Ajith Diamond Tours. They arranged it all and we arrived to the jeep with our driver Yasara. He was great and taught us so much about the park and elephants, you could see he really loved his job. Definitely ask for Yasara if can. 100% recommend and also recommend Udawalawe, we really wanted to see elephants and we saw SO many so close too, a great day 🙌🏼

Marvelous! - We were stayed at Shangri La hambantota we had A very nice safari. Gotta love the elephants, these magnificent creatures. Bumpy roads but nice view nice nature and many elephants to see. The wait to get in is long and boring but it's definitely worth it, also getting up at 5 o clock let's you see the sun rise. Fantastic tour with Ajith Tours.

TOURIST TRAP - TO AVOID ABSOLUTELY - I've booked this tour with Tripadvisor. The ticket clearly stated that pick up at "Shangri La Hambantota" hotel was included.
The Ajith Diamond Tours customer support told me an extra charge of $38 was due because the hotel was not in their free pick up zone and this because the hotel was not in Hambantota (despite its name !) but in the neighboring town !
Having forwarded to them the ticket provided by Tripadvisor (in order to avoid to pay what was supposed to be included), these guys simply canceled my reservation without any further explanation !
If they were in good faith, they would have acted differently !
