Camp Leopard - Yala Safari Glamping, hotel in Yala

A recently renovated campground in Yala, Camp Leopard - Yala Safari Glamping offers outdoor fireplace, parking on-site, and sports facilities.

It is a unique experience. The tent rooms are so cute and had nice details. The staff was so warm and welcoming. Loved our stay! We did the morning safari with them and had a great experience. Our female ranger was so wonderful. She is sweet, smart and tells great stories to fill the time while you are waiting to see spot the animals. I would recommend going with them for safari. They really go above and behind. Also we had coffee and tea in the jeep! So cool.

Kulu Safaris - All Inclusive, hotel in Yala

Located in Yala, less than 0.6 mi from Situlpawwa, Kulu Safaris - All Inclusive features accommodations with free WiFi, air conditioning and access to a garden with a terrace.

The staff were super friendly and helpful! Our guide went out of his way to make our safari experience memorable! He even took pictures with his professional camera of the animals and shared them with us! The location of the camp was convenient to the National Park and the food was home cooked. If you’re looking for an authentic local experience look no further! A viewing deck on top of a tree was the jackpot at this place! We enjoyed lovely views over an arranged breakfast. Kayaking was also offered.

Big Game - Yala by Eco Team, hotel in Yala

Big Game - Yala by Eco Team is located on the edge of Yala National Parks, a 20-minute drive from the Katagamuwa park entrance.

We stayed for 1 night in the family tent. I couldn’t find sufficient pictures online so here I share some. We were actually surprised by the luxury of the tents. It’s quite spacious. Everything is also clean. We booked an afternoon safari in Yala with our stay. The safari was great as our driver was a little bit older and received priority. The guide however was a rookie and his English wasn’t great, he did his best. We saw a leopard so mission accomplished. Receiving tea and cookies in the afternoon was perfect, although the space to chill was limited. We had a bbq but it takes time, you have to be patient. Around 8.30 we got our soup. Soup was great, bbq was ok and desert was nice. We got it included in our booking but I heard for others it was quite expensive. Not many mosquitoes during the night so very happy on that part!

    We enjoyed a lovely homestay on the edge of Yala National Park. The young host warmly welcomed us and arranged a visit to the local temple and beach on the evening of our arrival. The following morning, he took us on a safari, providing a delicious picnic breakfast. The evening meal featured a delectable Sri Lankan curry. As a farewell gesture, the host serenaded us with two beautiful flute tunes. It was a truly memorable and enjoyable experience.

    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!

    staying here exceeded all our expectations! The chalet is amazing and the staff does everything they can to make your stay unforgettable. The host knew a lot about nature and the animals that live in the area. We had a bush walk, a cup of tea with the sunset. An adventurous ride in the dark to the beach, a campfire with a beer and a delicious dinner. Recommended !

    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!

    Have never seen alive trees inside room. Had feeling that I live in camping but with all modern appliances and city comfort. Very friendly and helpful stuff and manager, who made our stay more comfortable than we expected! Recommend to get complimentary round trip first to see places around. Take a walk to sand dunes on sunset, visit Kirinda beach and town and ask to rent Yala safari from hotel only!

    Yakaduru Yala offers a remarkable camping experience within Sri Lanka's Yala buffer zone. The standout feature was the exceptional safari they organized, providing a close encounter with the region's diverse wildlife. The enchanting live flute music atop Yakaduru rock during sunset added a unique touch to the serene atmosphere. The campsite's perfect blend of nature, adventure, and cultural elements made it an unforgettable stay. Highly recommended for those seeking an immersive and harmonious connection with the beauty of Yala.

    The camp site was super organised, a great glamping experience. It was a bit out the way of any restaurants etc so we opted to have the dinner there, which was quite pricey, but a sweet atmosphere with the candles.

    Wonderful camp site close to the nationalpark. The awesome staff organized a beach dinner for my wifes birthday. Just us, at the ocean close to the entrance of the main gate, in the middle of nowhere. It was the most magical experience and i can recommend this to everyone. The camp itself is amazing! You have your private little pool, an outdoor bathroom and a beautiful glam tent.

    Great place to stay in Yala for very reasonable prices with including Yala safari. The tents were very clean, spacious, and comfortable with amazing showers. They were able to seamlessly arrange our safari through Yala, where we saw elephants, water buffalo, monkeys, deer, and leopards. The food was absolutely incredible and the camping staff were great. This place definitely lived up to our expectations.
