“Gorgeous stay! Would recommend”

Everything! Food and service was impeccable and the room was stunning (we stayed in a suite with a pool over the lake and a large window wall opposite the bed so you had a great view out onto the lake and we saw a water buffalo go by!)

“Purni ROCKS”

Purni was the most amazing guide and host. Knowledgeable, friendly and a great hostess. Food was outstanding and the staff bent over backwards to make our stay unforgettable. Thank you, we had the best time.

“Best place ever! Amazing rooms, food and staff. Loved it”

“Great experience”

Excellent Customer Service from the very first moment we arrived

Great experience for a night. The guide was very knowledgeable during the safari, the room was awesome (the kids loved the plunge pool) and the food was very tasty. There are only 8 rooms available, which enhances the feeling of exclusivity and peaceful surroundings.

We spent 2 nights at Leopard Trails Yala. We arrived at 13:30, which allowed us to take in an afternoon safari in Block 1, and we enjoyed both a morning and afternoon safari to Block 1 on Day 2 of our stay. In hindsight we probably should have taken in a 4th safari on the morning before we left, but it was sort of nice to sleep in and relax before departing. We were met by our guide Sudheera, who ensured our experience was phenomenal. We booked a Deluxe Tent, which had a king size bed, very efficient air conditioner (don't worry about being hot in your tent), and the most incredible view of a small lake with so many birds. The sink and toilet were in a separate area of the tent, but the shower was outside. The shower took a bit for the warm water to come, but was so nice to enjoy fresh air while showering. The tent was clean and fantastic to relax in. The food was plentiful and delicious. We had booked bed and breakfast, but joined lunch the day or arrival and had supper both the day we arrived and the next day. We did not have lunch on the 2nd day because it had been a big breakfast and we were still full. The guides offer snacks while on safari (cheese and crackers, biscuits, soft drinks, juice and water). The park fees are expensive, but having our guide was so worth it. 3 safaris for 2 ppl and 3 meals (breakfast was included with our accommodation) for 2 ppl, bottle of wine and a beer was about $600 USD (this was in addition to the cost of our accommodation). They do take credit cards on site. Wifi worked well for us. Highlight was definitely spotting a leopard without any other jeeps around. Block 1 was busy, with line ups once a leopard was spotted, but we were fortunate to come across a leopard, sloth and elephants without any other jeeps in the area. And our driver was fantastic!! This is a bucket list destination - highly recommend.

“Couldn’t recommend Leopard Trails more to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. The safaris were amazing but the staff and the actu”

Everything!

“One of the best experiences of my lifetime.”

In a great location close to the park entrance. Top end glamping. The food and the staff were fabulous. The ranger Amal was very knowledgeable and we were lucky enough to see a leopard. Trust me you will not be disappointed.

“The tent itself and the location of it around the water is amazing, staff are equally as amazing. Still think it’s alot”

Beautiful tent around a lake with a lot of wildlife to watch and take pictures of. Staff were amazing with looking after us, serving us and helping get us to our third party safari.

“Fantastic location and amazing staff for a wonderful stay in Yala”

Really friendly and attentive staff. We were given a room upgrade which was beautiful. Safari was informative and camp is in good location to avoid all the crowded areas. Food was also fantastic.

“Average for what you are paying - poor location”

Great accommodation

“Amazing. Highly recommend for a luxury few days at Yala”

Services provided in the camp were excellent, room well equipped, comfortable and very clean. Staff were attentive throughout and the standard of the food was exceptional. Our guide for 3 Jeep safaris was amazing, highly knowledgeable and an absolute pleasure throughout our stay also taking care of everything at the camp as well. A nod to our excellent driver who made sure we saw as much as possible on the trips. Camp tucked away up a bumpy dirt track away from tourist area. From our personal experience it is not at all surprising this place has achieved it’s high accolades from a variety of prestigious travel guides 👏

“Quality of service needs to improve and the staff needs to work on their internal communication”

A very well built property but although the staff consists of very nice people, the service efficiency was very low. One would expect much better service at a hotel of such a high quality. The staff seemed eager to deliver but unable to do so in term of understanding, punctuality, and internal communication.

Very Nice team and guide Very good good Very Nice location - beautifull

We've stayed for one night at Leopard Trails and it was a great experience! The program sounds like a rush upfront if you just have one night, but it wasn't stressful at all. The service personal did everything to ensure that we have an enjoyable stay! The food was delicious and the "tents" are super luxurious! And the pool is the best place for a quick refreshing. We were lucky and could watch a huge group of buffalos out of our bed in the morning! Also the bonfire and the dinner with the other guests under the stars was unforgettable! Additionally extra wishes were considered in regards to food. Our Safari Guide Hasantha did a fantastic job! He answered all our questions and was always reliable. Thanks again for having us!

“Unbelievable cosy place”

Atmosphere, friendliness, food experience, Knowledge about animals. The extra effort the staff did to make our time there something special

very good location, many animals to be enjoyed at the room. staff is great and safari is fantastic! experienced guide and driver, we did see the leopard!

“Save your money for another camp”

The view from the bar deck was amazing. The lot a fire at night where we all chilled for a couple of hours before dinner. The food was delicious. We were up at 5am to get into the park before the lines of other jeeps. The guide was lovely and very knowledgeable and we saw 2 leopards. Elephants, we were very lucky.

“Overpriced experience”

The staff is very friendly and try hard

Amazing place and service. The room was beautiful, big and very confortable. Pali, Our guide with whom we did the safari was very nice and had lots of knowledge to share. We learned a lot during the safari with him. The staff were very caring and accomodating on specific diet and dietary requirements and the food was very good. I would definitely go back if I had the chance to travel there again.
