The location was good, in the middle of jungle but not far away from main road..The staff were very helpful and kind..Specially our Safari guide Solomun, as a naturalist he gave us amazing information about the nature, wildlife and animals..
Our tent was very old, not seemed clean, the shower was very primitive..I stayed at glamping tents before but this wasn’t pleasing at all..

This ecolodge was enjoyable for my children, husband and myself. The tents were roomy and had flushing toilets and warm showers. The dinners were elegant on white tablecloth under the stars. The safari guide and driver did an excellent job pointing out elephant herds, birds and crocodiles at this park. I recommend this lodge.

The safari was excellent and we enjoyed breakfast and the animals and the elephants and birds, this was a great experience. Safari starts at 5.15am
The food was ok not much choice.. drinks were extra.. the tents are not a close drink to the park, over 30mins and long way from car park, the whole event lacked any atmosphere
This is a very expensive stay for Sri Lanka more than our stay at Kandalama, it really was not worth the price. No info before on timings or waht happened when. The campfire was away from food area, the tents were quite damp and whole area so very very dark!, my advice book a hotel near park and safari from there , the tents are quite remote and very dark to get around so not ideal...

We booked the morning safari with half board package. Staying here was a great experience, and represented good value for money. The naturalist who joined us on our safari was truly fantastic, and added to our experience. The tent we had was really clean and big enough for a family of 4. Staff and food were great. Just note that the drive to safari is around 30 minutes in the jeep, but that wasn’t an issue at all as it all added to the experience.

Real adventure - great supper around the campfire, a little further then I had hoped from the National Park - charming ranger who took us on a night walk

Really cool experience, glamping in the jungle. The rooms are pretty above standard, considering it's just a tent. Great setting, fabulous service, and guide. Dinner bbq is a must, around the night camp fire, with all the shining bright stars above.
Value for money, if you want to go Safari.

Very nice people and friendly staff. Very exciting sleeping in a tent with all animals.
Tent extremely humid due to rain and sheets were wet when going to bed.

The tents were well equipped and attractive. The area for dinner was really nice and the organisation of the afternoon walk and early morning safari was excellent
The tent was far too hot at night so we had to keep the fan on all night and it was very noisy.
It was quite far from the entrance to the park (20 mins ish). We were meant to have a naturalist join us for the safari in our jeep, but he did not turn up and no explanation was given.

Heshan, our safari tour guide at Mahoora in Udawalawe, was nothing short of exceptional. His profound knowledge of the wildlife was immediately apparent, as he effortlessly identified and provided fascinating details about every species we encountered. From the majestic elephants to the most elusive birds, Heshan's passion for nature and conservation truly enriched our experience.
His naturist abilities were impressive – he had an intuitive understanding of the ecosystem and knew exactly where to find the animals while respecting their natural habitat. His sharp eyes and deep understanding of the environment ensured we saw an incredible range of wildlife, often in moments that felt intimate and unhurried.
Beyond his expertise, Heshan’s affability made the entire safari even more enjoyable. He was warm, approachable, and went above and beyond to ensure everyone in our group was comfortable and engaged. His enthusiasm was infectious, and he made learning about the wildlife fun and accessible for all ages.
I highly recommend Heshan as a safari guide. If you’re lucky enough to have him leading your tour, you're guaranteed an unforgettable experience!

The camp site is really well thought out and you feel immersed in nature but safe. Particularly like that it is an eco friendly site, you see the effort made to follow eco standards.
We loved it!

Fantastic staff, excellent food.
I expected a nightwalk in the national park not on the property. Shouldn't advertise with this feature.
Little bit overpriced for a night in tent, even so luxurious like it is.
