Fab experience

Felt very close to nature in our tent which was kitted out with a bed, toilet, shower and electricity. The staff were really helpful throughout our stay and the BBQ dinner was delicious. We did the safari through them too and had a very informative guide.

The stay itself was fine - I was the only non-tour guest staying, but was luckily welcomed by others to join in meal times. The communication could certainly be clearer on several levels, including meals and costs as well as the safari options. Be mindful that there is no alternative for meals whilst there but booking.com is confusing in terms of whether dinner/breakfast is included. On the safari front, a full day safari is actually a whole day in the park rather than 2 drives morning and evening as you'd assume from experiences elsewhere (e.g. Africa). There is also not enough to fill a full day safari in terms of general sightings unless you're very keen birdwatchers, a half day is more than sufficient for most I'd say.

10/10 would recommend!

We had the best two night stay here with Solomon and the boys, the staff could not have been more attentive. They organised lunch for us on our arrival which was above and beyond what we expected. The gentleman with the glasses who delivered our induction (apologies I cannot remember his name), was so friendly and welcoming, he (and the rest of the team) went above and beyond to make sure this experience was unforgettable! The food was amazing both nights, and catered to dietary requirements. We ate outside under the stars both nights which was lovely. The tent itself was perfect for our needs, the bed was comfortable and we slept very well both nights. You could hear nature which was wonderful. Solomon is a very knowledgeable and interesting man, he provided great insight into the nature around the camp very locally and also in the safari park. We booked our safari through Big Game Camp and had Solomon as our guide which we could not recommend more, he was quick at pointing out a myriad of animals, whilst also being aware that the park is a safari not a zoo so you are not guaranteed to see anything, despite this we saw many elephants, different species of birds, mongoose etc. We would recommend this to anyone travelling to Sri Lanka!!

Super fun way to see a Safari in Udawalawe

What can I say? Big Game at Udawalawe was an amazing experience! Glamping next to the National Park, Safaris, BBQ under the stars (with fireflies!). The staff are attentive and accommodating. The accommodation is comfortable, clean and gives you a true experience of a Safari. I will recommend to all my friends travelling to Sri Lanka!

Lovely camp with really amazing staff

Super kind and friendly staff. Definitely the best of the camp. The tents are super well equipped. You feel you are in a camp without compromising on comfort. The setting is very nice, and the vibe at night is awesome with the bonfire and the fire lamps. Great option to stay one night if you want to do safari in the afternoon and in the morning.
