Thank you Bentota Travel Mart for the highlight trip of the holiday, it was so memorable. Thanks firstly to Dinesh who drove the two of us for the day and took us to the various venues on the tour, he couldn't have been more helpful and even supplied us with umbrellas and a towel when it rained. The star of the show however was Samir who drove the boat for the safari up the Bentota river into the mangrove swamp. What an experience, we saw baby crocodiles, a water monitor, lizards, monkeys and assorted birds. How he spotted some of them I really don't know. He also cut coconuts for us to have a coconut water drink and peeled a pineapple with a machete for us to eat, I didn't see any other boats having that level of service. Despite the fact that it rained for most of the trip we wouldn't have missed it for anything.
