The staff go above and beyond to make your stay memorable. All the staff from the guides to reception to the kitchen/dining staff were so friendly and helpful. The camp is basic but this is as described and what we expected/booked. Tents are clean and beds comfortable. We did cooking class, making a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast, which was great fun and ate what we cooked for breakfast. Breakfasts and the BBQ dinners were delicious and more than enough food served. We did an afternoon safari and saw lots of fascinating wildlife including mongoose, snakes, deer, crocs, lots and lots of birdlife and we were also fortunate enough to see two leopards. Also took part in the morning and night walks around camp which were very informative and saw lots. Again the guides were very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend staying here. Safari was booked through them. You are located very close to the park.

Wouldn’t do it again.

The pool - once we asked where it was. The dinning setup was great yet too dark too see what you were eating. My son enjoyed the common relaxation area!

We stayed at the Big game camp in Yala for one night and it was a perfect amount of time. The Morning safari that was in

The activities. Night walk, communal bonfire, outdoor games (badminton and basketball). The sounds you could here, makes you feel like your staying in the National Park. The staff are amazing and kind.

Super well organised and felt like an authentic safari experience. From the safaris, to the dinner under the stars, the night time nature walk, and very understanding and helpful reception for our transfers. We had a great guide, MJ, for our safaris too.
