Fantastic little campsite in the middle of the Sri Lankan bush, only accessible by 4WD. Head in here and feel the serenity. With just the two tents it's a small, perfectly formed operation run by the wonderful host Nero, who not only looks after your every need but whips up amazing meals in his little camp kitchen, served on a table under the stars, with a bonfire to complete the magic.

Rooms were outstanding - spacious and felt like a home away from home. Beautiful pool. Staff delightful and went out of their way to help. The hotel organised two safaris for us. Food and drinks also extremely tasty.

Our stay exceeded our expectations! From the moment we arrived, we felt special. The staff was amazing and accommodating. Our chalet was perfect… we even got to see an elephant walk past our room in the early morning! Breakfast and dinner were delicious. The convenience to Yala was great, we were there in minutes!

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.

I am a visitor from Australia .Stayed at this amazing property for two nights in a spacious luxury suite with a Jacuzzi. Unforgettable tour to the nearby Yala National park organized by the Allure management.
Allure is a place to visit in my next tour to this beautiful country.
A very special thank and appreciation for the excellent customer service extended by the hotel staff.
"I love the little village kitchen / restaurant (Gami Gedera). Overall the food is top of this world.
Michael From Melbourne.
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!
Fantastic little campsite in the middle of the Sri Lankan bush, only accessible by 4WD. Head in here and feel the serenity. With just the two tents it's a small, perfectly-formed operation run by the wonderful host Nero, who not only looks after your every need but whips up amazing meals in his little camp kitchen, served on a table under the stars, with a bonfire to complete the magic. In the morning Nero took us on a safari in the nearby Yala National Park, which was magical at sunrise. Highly recommended.
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 :)
This hotel is equipped with shampoo, shower gel, refrigerator,air conditioner and swimming pool.
The staffs are very friendly and helpful, They took me to see the nearby beach and the temple built in the rocks for free.very thankful.
This place is close to the gate of Yala National Park,the staffs can pack breakfast for you.
Udara's place is absolutely amazing. You have an entire house with comfort for you. Everything is new. Udara and his family are kind and helped us a lot organizing the safari in Yala at a very reasonable price and giving us the best experience. the mother of Udara cooked for us a huge and delicious dinner. thank you Udara
Clean air-conditioned room, large balcony, safe and peaceful location.
Arranged tours of Yala and provided a large quality breakfast.
Property communicated well and were so helpful with local suggestions.
Great value for the price.
Good quiet and calm zone, just by the Yala National Park. Great pool and good breakfast. Staff didn't speak or understand very much english, but they we're nice and helpful. Bed was comfy and WiFi worked well.
Great location for Yala National park. They arranged us safari in advance and takeaway breakfast too. very nice & clean, lovely swim pool, accommodation was excellent. staff very friendly and helpful.
Unique experience in close proximity to Ayala national park. Glamping at its best. Incredible staff effort to bring luxury to a tranquil setting in a true wildlife surrounding.
Such a different room (or I should say tent) style, eveything was as expected from a 5 star hotel. Stayed 1 night, breakfast & dinner options and taste were really good.
