Luxury tent accommodation close to Yala National park.

Lovely rooms set in natural bush surroundings. Loved the outdoor shower and the bed was comfortable. Staff were great and food was plentiful. Safaris were good and our driver did his best mad max style to get us a great view of the leopard we saw. It was absolute chaos but he did well. No complaints and a great way to see Yala.

If you are thinking of booking here - do it!

A wonderful boutique stay but has a real feel of being in the jungle/bush! We had a lovely stay, dining under the stars and speaking with the owner as well as two amazing gam drives where we saw pretty much every wildlife possible!

Nice but over priced for what it was

The camp is setup well and should be a lot more enjoyable than it is. The food while all very local and basic was amazing and the guides and general staff were lovely and accommodating.

Magical

Superb rooms and food. Staff went above and beyond to make this stay unforgettable . Special mention to Noel and Don for making us feel so welcome. We saw every animal possible including leopards and sloth bears. The best was that the company is so respectful of the wildlife that they refused to embark on mad chases with the other jeeps to try and find animals . Don and Dilip used their expert knowledge to seek out animals without intruding on them . The hotel is the best safari lodge we have ever stayed in .

Amazing spot at the second entrance to Yala (not the main entrance). Hidden away in the jungle are some beautiful bungalos and without a doubt they have the best bed ive slept on in Sri Lanka. It is a very unique airbnb and I have never stayed in anything like it. The staff are very attentive and were helpful with all aspects of our stay. I couldnt find my powerpoint adaptor and the owner was able to source one for me to charge my phone. The meals are a mix between Sri Lankan food and Western food and the staff are very accomodating to any requirements. We did an evening safari on the day we arrived and then a morning safari the following day. My only advice is that you need more than one day to enjoy the location as we were on safari 2x we didnt get a chance to get into the pool which would have been cool to do in the jungle.

Beautiful camp with wonderful staff

We had a wonderful 2 night stay in this lovely camp and were extremely well looked after by Manu and his capable team. The camp itself was very peaceful and the tented accommodation luxurious. The food was excellent and they catered for my vegan wife brilliantly. The safari drives were very well done and we saw two leopards and a host of other wildlife. A very successful and pleasant stay. Highly recommended.

An amazing experience from start to finish

The ‘tent’ had all the facilities we needed including a free mini bar, air con and bathroom with view of the stars. Staff contacted our drive so pick up and drop off were hassle free. The whole stay was well organised, and staff were amazing. Mealtimes were communal with other guests sat outside with lantern lights in the evening. The food was incredible, fresh, variety of dishes and plentiful. Pre dinner drinks and water/ snacks on safaris. There is a small pool which was welcome for cooling off. Each safari was an adventure, with an informative guide keen to give you a great experience and yes we saw a leopard.

A lovely space which needs to be much improved

The staff are charming and the isolated situation is lovely. The candle lit suppers were fabulous. We did see a leopard, sloth bear, lots of elephants, a mongoose, and water buffalo which was great whilst on Safari. The small pool was very refreshing and lovely to sit around between Safari drives.

Wouldn’t recommend

We stayed in the Water Buffalo room and it was pretty accurate reality vs the pictures. The bed was comfortable, only criticism for the room is the bathroom could do with a good bleach and scrub and some cobwebs around the lights need some attention.

Fantastic experience! Can't fault in any way

Our time at leopard safaris was absolutely out of this world. From the incredible food , to the wonderful staff, the accommodation was absolutely perfect, and the game drives were mind blowing. Staying here was the highlight of our trip. Memories made that we won't forget. Highly recommend!
