It was a great experience in the wild of Yala! The minute we arrived at the place, we received an exceptional welcoming reception. The place is quite but with beautiful animal sounding. Every staff was so friendly.

We absolutely loved our three nights at Tribe Yala. The property is remote enough to feel peaceful and in the middle of nowhere but once you have driven down the entrance road, it is actually close to the national park. We had a Sloth Bear tent and it was beautiful and stylish. I particularly loved the private pool and deck - it was so peaceful and relaxing as we couldn’t see or hear anyone else from our own tent area. The staff at Tribe Yala were the absolute best - so humble, kind and professional. They truly went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed for a perfect stay. My only regret is that I didn’t book our safaris through Tribe Yala - their vehicle and manager/driver looked so much more comfortable and professional than the one we booked externally. Tribe Yala is a unique experience - I wholeheartedly recommend a stay at this beautiful luxury tent resort.

    Lovely friendly staff on arrival who explained about the property and facilities. The accommodation was excellent, very clean with everything needed for a night’s stay. The two fans in the tent were much needed due to it being very hot and humid Booked the evening meal and early morning safari the next day. The food was delicious and eating outside was a lovely experience, especially gazing up to see all the many stars. All staff very attentive and a good choice of food and drink.

    Everything! We absolutely loved our stay at wild culture. The hotel is stunning, food was great, the staff were incredible and there was a load of small activities to do just in case the safari and pool weren’t enough. The papaya juice on arrival was our favourite one of the holiday. So pleased we booked here it was a highlight of our trip.

    Our favorite stay and experience in Sri Lanka! From the warm welcome with a fresh drink to the friendly, attentive staff, everything was wonderful. The accommodation was excellent, clean, and charming, with a delightful outdoor shower. The food was delicious, offering a wide selection for lunch and dinner. We also loved the walk around the bushes with the hotel’s ranger.

    Yakaduru is the best safari and camping place. You can reach the camp easily from the main road using any vehicle. The accommodations are good and offer a unique village-like experience. The safari is excellent, and you can request specific things you need. They arranged our food as we requested, packing it for our safari trip. The stay was comfortable and friendly. Initially, we only planned to go on the safari, but we also enjoyed a BBQ night, a 2-hour bush walk, and a beach drive. It was a great experience!

    very nice location in the middle of green lush. The accommodation was spacious, very clean, had comfortable mattresses and was well equipped. even equipped with things as luxurious shower gel, shampoo and toothpaste. owners of the accommodation were very sweet, friendly and funny - they even made us a nice dinner last minute after a long day of safari. besides that we would definitely recommend their sri lankan breakfast, it was one of the best we had in 5 weeks of our holiday in sri lanka. thanks a lot for the nice stay ❤️
