The perfect place. ✨☀️ That staff is very kind, always tanking care of what we need. It was my birthday and they had a little happy birthday flute show to us when we arrived. The food was perfect, tasty and they were careful with the chili aside. Very good breakfast. The pool was clean and refreshing. The garden is very beautiful with the facilities to rest, and with birds singing. We went for a little ride to the beach in the afternoon on the tuktuk and we were able to see some local animals, with all the explanation about them. And in the evening a Kottu dinner with a fire and tradicional dancing show, we loved it.

Very spacious, and very clean place which you have all to yourself. Udara is an absolute star, and always on hand with anything you may need. He even took us down to the local beach as we wanted to relax on the sun and this was beautiful too and only a short ride away. The food on the evening prepared by Udaras mother and auntie was fantastic and so tasty, and plentiful. Even a washing machine is available should you need to freshen anything up. I happened to cut a toe on a rock, and the lovely Udara went out of his way to get some antiseptic cream for the cut which was so kind and thoughtful. We can highly recommend staying here, Udara sorted out our jeep for the morning safari and came with us which helped to spot all the wildlife in Yala national park and a lovely breakfast was provided to have at our convenience.

We were a family of 5 and I am so happy we discovered and chose Tribe Yala. It was a privilege to be here and make some wonderful memories. Located right in the middle of nature, when you arrive here there is no where to go and you would not want to it's straight out of a movie. The deluxe tent with plunge pool and roof terrace was amazing and accommodated the 5 of us without tripping over each other just fine. Dinner was lovely, breakfast was outstanding and was served on our tree top terrace which could not have been nicer and the effort was really appreciated, offered and not expected. Served after our super safari organized by Tribe with snack box, respectful driver and ranger. The staff were magnificent. I only wish we could have stayed longer. I would not hesitate to come back. This is where memories are made!

Everything ! The place is amazing. It is blended in the nature, the Savannah on one side and Indian Ocean on another. You can feel connected to the nature around you in a really respectful way. As everyone will tell you there : “animals were here first. we are the guests on their land”. Of course, the rooms are beautiful. You will enjoy spending time discovering every little detail of it. What we enjoyed the most was the food and the service The food was amazingly good and it was the best we had in our all trip in Sri Lanka. The Chef has much creativity and has nothing to envy to Michelin restaurants. Also every team member was very kind and thoughtful. The manager offered us a beach dinner on our first evening to celebrate our engagement and we had a surprise cake at the end to celebrate. But all the team members are very kind, efficient, flexible, and they genuinely caring about people. And at the end, that is the thing that matters. Finally but nonetheless, the safari experience was really amazing thanks to our ranger Darshana. It is a life changing experience to enter in this environment where you don’t belong. But what we will also remember is the passion of Darshana for the animals. He is so respectful of the nature around him and so knowledgeable. He is the one who made our experience unforgettable. Thank you to all the staff of Wild tented coast lodge. We hope to visit you again !

It is a perfect place to relax after a daylong safari, either in the pool or in one of the large rooms. The bathroom (especially the shower) was one of the best in Sri lanka. The personal was really carrying and nice. Dinner and breakfast were delicious. The manager communicated with kindness and rapidly. We enjoyed our stay a lot and we recommend it to everyone.

One of the best experiences we had in the whole of Sri Lanka, from the team at Camp Leopard to Safari! The team was great, and helpful, and provided us with anything we needed. We would repeat this visit at Camp Leopard anytime! We loved all their dogs who were beside us at our stay! The safari that they organized was also 5 star safari! A lot of birds, monkeys and other animals to see! Thank you!!

It sounds like a wonderful place to stay, especially for nature enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the biodiversity and scenic landscapes near Yala National Park. Staying at Podi Hoona Eco Bush Camp would likely provide a peaceful and eco-friendly experience, allowing guests to appreciate the natural surroundings and perhaps spot some of the local wildlife, including geckos, in their natural habitat. Highly recommended for anyone who looks for a wonderful wildlife experience….

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!
