Lodges in Kataragama

Remote location in the middle of the jungle, rooms are separate little houses linked by forest paths. Loved being surrounded by all the nature, vegetarian dinner was delicious.

The resort staff were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout my stay. I also found the location to be absolutely superb, offering convenient access to everything I needed. The facilities at the resort were also top-notch.

Is totally in eco environment, not crowded at all only one tree house, one standard room (2 single and 1 double bed) and one dorm room (6 single beds). All has mosquito nets

Place was extraordinary and special thanks to denis the staff here for preparing the food which was good. And a suggestion it would be better to a arrange a vehicle for the location area

Some of the best value stays we got in Sri Lanka. Amazing tents with everything you might need, nice bed, AC, hot and cold water… really nice staff help us organise everything and even packed our breakfast away because I didn’t had time to have it there.

Everything was perfect. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful. I definitely recommend them to cook to u, they make delicious food, I thank them again and again, I’m glad we stayed with u 🥰🙏🏼

We loved everything about our stay at Koragaha Lodge. Our experience was seamless from the minute we arrived to our check out. The staff arranged everything on the safari days with packed breakfast & lunch, and were always accommodating throughout our stay. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable and set amongst a beautiful landscape. We highly recommend this place for a stay in Yala

We wanted to stay close to the park with the feeling of being inside it and being close to nature and the animals, and Yala Jungle Haven delivered on all fronts! You’re in the middle of nature, so don’t be spooked when a salamander or lizard walks around the room and leaves some droppings or tiny frogs enter and jump around. They are harmless and make it the full experience. There’s also a small crocodile in the pond next to the room and in the morning we had a water buffalo in it and a peacock on top of the tree. You won’t have aircon or hot water as there’s only one generator but there’s a fan and a mosquito net if you need to open the windows and it’s hot enough to enjoy the colder shower. The owners, Tushara and his parents, are amazing and do everything they can to make you feel at home. The food is freshly prepared and delicious, definitely the bbq chicken (a bit pricey compared to other areas but makes sense as shops are not close and everything is made from scratch). You eat dinner on the rock where you can look at the stars by the fire and a bit higher up you can go watch the sunrise/sunset. Sometimes an animal that can walk under the fence for elephants (monkeys, wild boar, leopard, …) walks by. We saw the first two. Breakfast in the hut is also amazing as a giant squirrel joins you to ask for a banana. Tushara knows a lot about the environment and animals as he has been a guide for over 25 years, so you can ask him anything. We did the full day safari in Yala National Park with them which was also a great experience. We got to see 2 leopards, 40 elephants, 3 crocodiles, many antilopes, spotted deers, birds, water buffaloes, mongoose, monitor lizards, … Unfortunately Tushara couldn’t come with us because the generator broke and he had to stay to fix it, so his cousin came with us. Although he was a man of little (English) words, he made sure we saw a lot of animals and tried to explain what he could.

The chef did very well. Thank you for a super romantic and awsome dinner!

Excellent location, courtesy of the staff who I found to be very helpful
