Featuring garden views, Tribe Yala - Luxury Camping offers accommodation with a garden, a bar and a shared lounge, around 12 km from Tissa Wewa. This 4-star luxury tent offers a 24-hour front desk and free shuttle service. The luxury tent features rooms with air conditioning, free private parking and free WiFi.

The tents were lovely, a little bit of wear and tear but it’s to be expected in a jungle with rain. What made it special though was the staff and the experiences they provide. We booked our safari through them and got a private safari with a very knowledgeable ranger. It was also done in a 4WD (an old school Land Rover which was very cool), whilst many others are in 2WD. We found out the benefit of this as the roads were very badly damaged from the heavy rain the last few days and many cars got stuck, whilst ours didn’t. Another highlight was a candlelit dinner in the wilderness, as well as breakfast up in the tree canopies. We won’t ever forget this stay. Our only wish is that we stayed two nights rather than one as we didn’t get time to use the private pool

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.

Situated 17 km from Situlpawwa, Leopard Nest - Glamping in Yala offers accommodation and free WiFi in Yala. The property offers a complimentary game drive to Yala National Park.

A Continental breakfast is available each morning at the property. The luxury tent offers a barbecue.

The location is one of a kind. After we switched into a 4x4 we traveled down a bumpy track to the beautiful location amongst the trees and in the middle of the forest. Staff were very helpful getting our bags up to the tree house. The location isn’t for everyone as it’s fairly remote but very close to yala national park. Food at the hotel was great. On the evening we had a BBQ that was outside in a candle lit location. Food was good and service great. The accommodation is amazing but obviously this is glamping and so we had a lizard or two surprise us but was definitely part of the fun. The safari organised by the team was great. Charging around the park in a jeep looking at all the animals was fantastic. Great stay

Podi Hoona Luxury Bush Camp is a recently renovated luxury tent in Yala, where guests can make the most of its garden and terrace. The property has garden views and is 13 km from Tissa Wewa and 23 km from Situlpawwa. Tissamaharama Raja Maha Vihara is 12 km away and Ranminitenna Tele Cinema Village is 19 km from the luxury tent.

When I booked there weren't a lot of reviews but all of the reviews were fantastic so I assumed that it was just newer and didn't have a lot of reviews. This was one of the only times that I felt let down by booking.com reviews. The staff at the place was very warm but there were more negatives about the property than positives.

Looking for a luxury tent?

For travellers who love being in nature with an added sense of luxury. Also called glamping, tented camps provide full or limited services, while surrounded by the wilderness. Typically in permanent or semi-permanent camps, these private tents/yurts are a great way to rough it while staying glamorous.

    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!

    Give the natural outdoor experience we were looking for being on a safari. Be prepared for lots of wildlife bugs etc which was all part of the fun . The food was amazing maybe one of the best meals we had on our Sri Lanka trip. The manager could have not been more helpful also with our transfer which was very reasonably priced. The staff also were superb.

    The setting is truly amazing and one of a kind. The rooms are spacious. The view is sensational. The pool is wonderful. It’s like desert setting and the ocean is an oasis. The elephant visit was a bonus. Very close to Yala National Park so not too early to rise for a safari. The pool attendant was lovely

    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.

    Place has got great potential, location right next to yala border zone, tents and the property really have the safari vibe. Tents were dry, even though it rained very hard. There’s wifi 2 times a day and free water, coffee and tea is available. There’s a deck where you can observe and spot birds.

    Our 2 day safari and 2 night stay at Camp Leopard was the best experience. It was the highlight of our trip. The glamping and local foods were amazing. The staff were all super. The safari and camp staff went above and beyond to give us the best time!! Super grateful for our experience!! Special thanks to Chathu, our top glass guide, we saw more than we could have imagined, and her knowledge and passion made it for us. And also to Timmy with his sharp eyes for spotting the wildlife. Highly recommend!! 🙏🐆
