As a South African, I wasn’t sure what to expect from a safari experience in Sri Lanka, but Mahoora-Yala by Eco Team exceeded all expectations in the most delightful way. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by an exceptional team of hosts who were attentive, informative, and genuinely passionate about creating a memorable experience. Our guide led us on an immersive journey through the local wilderness, where we explored the diverse flora and fauna of the region. It was fascinating to learn about the unique plant life, listen to the calls of unfamiliar bird species, and encounter endemic wildlife in its natural habitat. Beyond the safari itself, witnessing the rural landscapes and daily life of the local communities added a deeply enriching cultural dimension to our visit. The accommodations were a perfect blend of comfort and adventure—true "glamping" at its finest. Our tent was well-equipped with everything we needed, from a plush bed to a refreshing shower, ensuring a seamless balance between luxury and the raw beauty of nature. The journey from the southern coast was undoubtedly worthwhile; stepping away from the beaches and surf life to embrace the serenity of the wilderness was a rewarding and unforgettable experience. Mahoora-Yala is more than just a safari—it’s an invitation to connect with nature in an intimate and meaningful way.

- If you’re heading to Yala National Park, Rivosen Camp Yala Safari might be up your street. - Located close the entrance of Yala National Park, this accommodation is really off the beaten track. - This is the perfect opportunity to go off-grid and you’ll be well looked after by the very kind local staff. - One example of this was when I didn’t have the right plug to charge my phone and they took it home for a few hours and returned it to me, fully charged. - During my stay, one of the guys brought me to Kirinda and the local beaches. - I was the only tourist and it really felt like a unique adventure. - Manjula and his team prepared local breakfast, lunch and dinner and really did all they could to make me feel welcome. This is one place where you certainly won’t go hungry. - The accommodation at first glance is very rustic and definitely not for everyone but I actually slept like a baby. - They also set up a bonfire and you can sit under the stars at night under the clear skies. - I was up at 4:30am for the Safari, all arranged by Manju. They also prepare a packed lunch for the Safari which was very kind of them. When I got back, breakfast was ready. While their English is limited, all the team made a great effort to chat with me, sharing about their family and lives in Sri Lanka. - This is one experience I know I’ll talk about for years to come and that alone gives this place a 10/10.

Lovely staff, beautiful property and the rooms are stunning. Very comfortable and homely in the rooms. We appreciated the staffs attentiveness and they really wanted us to enjoy our stay. They also organised a safari for us at Yala and the location of the villa is great for that!

Nestled amidst forest and lake bordering the national park and close to the quieter Katagamuwa gate, Leopard Trails tented camp allows guests to experience the wilderness in comfortable air...

Location location location- being based in Kataragama it’s away from the ‘normal herd’ of Yala safari locations.When out on safari, we met a small limited amount of safari trucks. Other cheaper companies based near the coast race up into the national park daily when the Yala park gates open leaving you eating dust from all other high speed vehicles and chasing wildlife away from all the human noises / vehicle seen . If this is your once a lifetime Yala safari, spend the money and do it properly. This company is also animal welfare minded Accomodation wise it’s like the photos. Luxurious tented accomodation Very spacious. Nice bed Beautiful pre dinner bon fire with a aperitif bar Stunning outdoor dinners - delicious food. Romantic setting with lanterns

Boasting a private beach area, open-air bath and views of garden, Back of Beyond Dune Camp Yala is set in Yala, a few steps from Palatupana Beach.

Amazing view and scenery. It’s the most unique place I’ve been to. The tents were comfortable and you shower under the stars! Its covered so that you have your privacy. The safari that they arranged was also good. The food was great and on one night they arranged a barbeque on the dune, under the stars! Just unforgettable and way better than staying in a standard hotel!

Set within 19 km of Situlpawwa and 20 km of Tissa Wewa in Palatupana, Yaalu Yaala Safari Camp offers accommodation with seating area.

Highly recommend this property. Was the best place we stayed on our trip to Sri Lanka. I would recommend dining in with the team, exceptional curry for dinner. Also use their safari recommendations as he was the best driver & first in line for morning safari.
