We love the tents! Is actually a very juce experience to add to the safari, to sleep in the national park, you a pretty close to block 1. The staff were amazing, very professional, friendly and nice. The food, we tried the food a la Carte too. They also clean your room and tidy up it every morning.

Nilanthal and Elizabeth are amazing hosts. They are very knowledgeable safari guides. We had an amazing half day safari with Elizabeth where we had a very close encounter with a leopard, it was truly amazing. They are very passionate about the area and the wildlife. The tents are very comfortable and the evening dinner around the campfire under the stars was incredible.

Staying at this treehouse was the best decision we made for our Yala safari trip! It felt like living out a childhood dream—sleeping high among the trees in a cozy, clean space with everything we needed. The property is huge and full of charm: a beautiful BBQ spot by the firepit, a swing made from a tree trunk, and torch-lit pathways perfect for evening walks. The safari experience began right at the location—just outside the grounds, there’s a small watering hole where animals come to drink! The host was incredibly kind and helpful—he arranged our transfer, cooked delicious meals, and made sure we lacked nothing. The only minor downside was that the only power outlets were in the host’s house, but we managed just fine with power banks. A few extra tips: - The shower is outdoors (summer-style), but in the Sri Lankan heat, that’s actually a plus! - Bring cat food—there’s an adorable little cat crew here. - Book at least 2-3 nights; we didn’t want to leave! With only a few treehouses (I think three, maybe more being built?), it’s great for small or large groups. One of the most unique and atmospheric places I’ve ever stayed—highly recommend!

I had a wonderful experience at Yala Way Nature Villa. It provided us with excellent family-friendly services. Located in a very quiet environment, this is a great place for those who love the environment. Delicious local food was served and we were able to spend a beautiful night with barbecue. The place has been renovated with a new look and is very clean. That night spent under a starry sky made our lives beautiful.

Nestled amidst forest and lake bordering the national park and close to the quieter Katagamuwa gate, Leopard Trails tented camp allows guests to experience the wilderness in comfortable air...

Location location location- being based in Kataragama it’s away from the ‘normal herd’ of Yala safari locations.When out on safari, we met a small limited amount of safari trucks. Other cheaper companies based near the coast race up into the national park daily when the Yala park gates open leaving you eating dust from all other high speed vehicles and chasing wildlife away from all the human noises / vehicle seen . If this is your once a lifetime Yala safari, spend the money and do it properly. This company is also animal welfare minded Accomodation wise it’s like the photos. Luxurious tented accomodation Very spacious. Nice bed Beautiful pre dinner bon fire with a aperitif bar Stunning outdoor dinners - delicious food. Romantic setting with lanterns
