This is a 5 star glamping experience located in the middle of the jungle. The room is well airconditioned, very spacious, clean and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and went out of their way to make our stay as pleasant as possible. We had a lovely dinner under the stars. A delicious huge breakfast was brought over to our room in the morning. It was an experience using the jacuzzi in the wild too. We were given a complimentary early morning walk in the vicinity of the hotel. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the wildlife we saw. The whole concept is eco-friendly. The ideal location to start from or end the day for a Yala safari tour. Certainly worth staying at.

Basecamp - Yala features mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking, located in Yala, 15 km from Situlpawwa. 22 km from Tissa Wewa and 47 km from Bundala Bird Sanctuary, the property provides a garden and a bar. The campground has family rooms.

Kataragama Temple is 4.6 km from the campground, while Ranminitenna Tele Cinema Village is 16 km away. The nearest airport is Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport, 38 km from Basecamp - Yala.

First ask yourself what is the reason you want to be here - if you are here for the nature alone, Nilantha is the best person you can stay with and who you SHOULD take as a guide with you to the safari. He has a degree in biology , fluent English and knows so much about the local fauna and flora so a full day safari doesn’t get boring (which I can imagine can if you only take a driver with you). He is a true believer in ecotourism and is giving back to local communities. If you are here for a fancy dinner and facilities, go somewhere else. This is a simple stay in the jungle. And one more thing to add - your guide is not responsible for how many animals you’ll see BUT we were lucky and he for sure knows some spots where they MIGHT appear. And last but not least- Nilantha is a great and nice person we had a chance to meet :)

Boasting private check-in and check-out, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. The luxury tent features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

Our family recently visited Makini Bush Camp and we had an amazing time. The staff's kindness and helpfulness made our stay truly special. We were thrilled to witness incredible wildlife sightings, including graceful elephants, playful monkeys, and colorful birds. And the highlight of our trip was a breathtaking leopard sighting that left us in awe. The service provided was exceptional, and the staff went out of their way to engage our children. The cozy tented chalet allowed us to connect with nature while enjoying the comforts of a clean and well-maintained accommodation. We recommend Makini for families seeking a remarkable safari adventure with top-notch service and unforgettable wildlife encounters.

    I booked Yakaduru for a one-night safari experience, but it offered much more. Climbing into a treehouse offered breathtaking views of Yala, chena fields, the village, and the beach. The outdoor BBQ dinner was an addition to my experiences. Overall, Yakaduru provided memorable experiences beyond my expectations.

    We went to Yakaduru for a safari experience and had a good time. Specifically, the safari and village visit were the best. Experiencing traditional village, including visits to chena mud houses and tree houses, was also nice. We loved having lunch during the safari. Also we booked a BBQ for 2 people, which had a lot of different foods. Overall, we had a happy and valuable time thanks to Yakaduru.

    Perfect location and amazing villas I can’t believe they are not booked up the whole time. The staff go above and beyond and took us on a tour to a local fisherman village where we ended up seeing so many animals, took us on sunset walks to the local beach and on the last night we had a torch lit dinner it was absolutely perfect. The villa itself was so clean and spacious and the food was some of the best we have had in Sri Lanka. Couldn’t recommend more.
