We had a great stay in Ranakeliya lodge. We stayed in a tent which felt like we were still in the park. Everything had a great taste for design and was very clean. The breakfast was just lovely and cherry on the top! Highly recommended

We loved our time at Yala Safari Lodge, if you are looking for an authentic, natural and personal experience we can’t recommend this place enough. We visited with our 18month old son and stayed 1 night. The hosts were very welcoming and cooked us a lovely dinner of Sri Lankan food, and built us a campfire. The next morning we went on safari with the owner of the accommodation. He has over 25 years experience as a Yala safari guide and his passion, knowledge and want for you to have the best experience stood out to us. Being so close to Yala National park entrance gave us the opportunity to get to the front of the queue for the entrance early in the morning. We spotted 2 leopards - 1 extremely close to the truck. Along with many others animals including elephants, mongoose, deer, Monkeys, various birds. An incredible safari and couldn’t have left happier. You won’t regret staying here, the only thing we would say is if you can’t live without aircon - this isn’t for you. Book a fancy resort if that’s the case. If you are open minded and want an experience which is authentic, then book this place for you. Thank you again to Suneth, Thushara and Wijepala. We cannot thank you enough, and wish you every success in the future. Hope to be back again.

The staff was perfect, I can only say that the experience was perfect. We were there for a night to attend a safari. We asked the staff a day before, he managed to do it, they book online ticket for us so it’s was faster than the other jeeps. The dinner and the breakfast under the tree is amazing and beautiful ! If you want to live a real safari experience this is the lodge ! We are two French people and we can guarantee that the tent is clean, AC helps a lot and the shower is beautiful 😍 Thanks again for your kindness !

The perfect place for an authentic safari glamping experience - sitting out under the stars at night and listening to the sounds of nature. The lodge is run by a lovely family who are friendly and professional. They also cook delicious food so I highly recommend having a candlelit dinner at the lodge!

Beautiful, comfy and spacious safari tent. Lovely outdoor area with a real safari feel. Amazing food served under the stars each night. We went on a safari organised by Ranakeliya lodge and owner Thisara joined us which was a pleasure and great experience. 100% recommended this place

We stayed in the tented lodge for one night. The lodge is amazing. It is beautifully built, very clean with mosquito nets on every entrance and window. The open air bathroom rounded up the glamping experience. There is electricity and even wifi in the tents. We booked two safaris and one starlight BBQ. The safari organisation went smooth and the guides were really good. The dinner was outstanding and one of our highlights of the whole vacation. The owners are super friendly. Would definately recommend!

Everything is fantastic! We stayed here for two nights while going on safari in Yala with the all inclusive package. The staff at the Lodge were wonderful, and gave us everything we needed. The meals were delicious with lots of different menu options to choose from. The room was clean and comfortable with good aircon. The pool was also great. The perfect place to stay in Yala!

This lovely lodge was like your own little house. It was near to the owners house so you felt safe but had a lovely rustic feel with lots of nature surrounding you. Very clean and good size bed. Air conditioning was great. Family and owner were extremely friendly and welcoming. They cooked amazing authentic food. The bbq under the stars was a fabulous touch. Great proximity to Yala National park for a safari. The lodge arranged everything.
