Yakaduru - Yala, hotel in Yala

Yakaduru Yala is located on the buffer Zone of Yala National Park. It's just 5 minutes away from the Yala National Park Entrance.

Wonderful camp set 5 mins from Yala entrance. All of the buildings are lovingly built and blend into the environment. Nice pool and lots of lovely relaxing areas. The bedrooms are spacious with semi open bathrooms. There are bugs but a mosquito net over the bed and regular cleaning and smoking out of mosquitos before bed is carried out by the staff. The guys who work here are just amazing, so kind and helpful, I can’t say enough about them. They took me on a nature walk each late afternoon and even did some exercises and stretching on the 2nd day. Lovely local flute entertainment after dinner as well. The food was hearty and generous and beers are available for a small extra cost. We were also served watermelon juice at breakfast which was delicious. Very sad to leave, feel like they’re family.

    We visited Yala for two days (with two separate game drives - one evening and one morning one) and although we enjoyed the animals we observed, we did not have any sightings of leopards despite being the national park with the highest concentration in the world. But that is nature so we were just unlucky on those days. However, the most disappointing aspect of Yala was the sheer number of vehicles allowed into the park at one time. As soon as elephants or leopards are sighted, drivers communicate among themselves and vehicles all rush to the scene creating a massive traffic jams. This makes it feel very mass market and doesn’t seem very respectful of the wildlife

    Terrible time. No wild animals as expected.

    Terrible time. No wild animals as expected. Roads are all around the jungle which is pretty disturbing to the wild life. After all it is supposed to be a protected zone for wild life. Jeeps are crawling every corner of the territory. Amused to see all of that disturbing scenes in a wild life protected zone. It's like business zone. Poor animals.

    I loved Yala.

    I loved Yala. The number of different animals seen was slightly disappointing but apparently wash outs due to rain prevented us from accessing some internal roads. The sunrise and scenery were stunning. I would rate it as good value despite the lack of animals. The whole experience was wonderful.

    The national park in Yala is beautiful however it is hard to drive around as the roads are poorly maintained. There is a large populatin of birds and i think this safari would suit bird watchers more than those who want to see the elephants. The 6am -6pm safari is too long. Sigiriya is far superior when it comes to large herds of elephants.

    The hike in the nature reserve was amazing, we saw lots of amazing animals and landscapes. Were lucky and we were able to meet the tiger as well. It is important to note that the trip should take drinks and food, the hotel staff where we were did not tell us the length of the trip and did not make sure to let us know that we should take care of ourselves. Of course we were smarter and brought with us the necessary equipment .. But there were those next to us who did not and that was unfortunate

    We stayed at Laya Beach resort which was very beautiful and was very close to our safari's which made our stay even better. The beach, however, was too rough to swim which was a little disappointing.

    The staff was fantastic. Always around for any small need. The location, admittedly far from the city, while the food is provided by the hotel, also prepares breakfast to take away when you go on safari. Dinners were really delicious. The pumpkin soup was a pleasant surprise for me. Insanely delicious. The pool provided solace after a day's safari. The water clean and warm. Plus, close to the gate to the national park, which is not the main entrance, ensuring no unnecessary traffic and queues to enter. Absolutely recommend!

    This camping site is in a good position.Afternoon walk and afternoon tea are free so far, especially afternoon walk is worth to go for,I saw a lot of monkeys and birds,because we just walked beside the fence of Yala National Park. The dinner is delicious,including a bowl of soup ,roast chicken and sea fish, dessert,of course it’s not free.In the night, I saw some of the fireflies.when I waked up,I heard different birds singing.It’s very nice. You can take a hot shower in the tent.but the water is salty.

    Amazing service, giving the best effort to make an unique experience. Despite camping, the rooms seems like a good hotel with large comfortable room. We stayed one night only, 2 could have been better for the safari and enjoy more the hotel. It was during our honeymoon and they made sure everything was pretty special. Special attention from food and beverage manager who seemed to be running the whole place, making sure everything worked out

    Dont book this hotel. Dishonest owner. Did not keep his promise n attached our WhatsApp conversation. I regret the choice of accommodation. The Wild Trails Yala & Wild Trails Yala by Suri are the same hotels. They don't have a water heater, n we had to shower in cold, miserable poor water pressure water n bed frame was broken n did not fix it. Mattress was placed on the floor. Overpriced with dated property

    We spent two nights at Wild Culture and it was a great experience. The rooms were very large with a cool safari style and we felt like we were in the wilderness. We had breakfast and dinner twice which was great. The service team, especially Ukul, gave us a perfect stay with many surprises. The safari to Yala organized by the hotel was perfectly planned with snacks and cold drinks. Thanks again :)
