Wonderful out door experience. Well run by Saman. Very comfortable tent with adequate en suite shower etc. Dinner around the fire was straight out of the film Out of Africa. Very good red wine. Didn’t try the white and the food was excellent. The safari was well worth the early start with a stop for breakfast served in the safari jeep. We had a drive and guide from the camp and a guide from the park too. They are amazing at spotting the game. You need at least 2 nights and it is a wonderful family experience too.

service staff was wonderful, but needs quite a bit of training. Staff shift supervisor was much more experience and guest oriented than the Guest Relations manager. I briefly saw the camp manager and there was no sincerity. She was as the elusive leopard. Food was excellent so was the minor staff.

Nice camp. Tent was lovely and spotless. I booked my safari through the camp. The nighttime (afternoon) safari was my favourite. Much smaller area to cover and fewer cars than in the morning. We saw two leopards. One having a nap and another trying to get some dinner. Lots of other stuff to see, elephants, crocodiles. Buffalo, Spotted Deer, Eagles, the list goes on. Would recommend.

Great one night stay with 1/2 day safari. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nothing too much trouble. Lunch and eve meal good. Nice to sit around the bonfire under the night sky. Great morning safari and lucky to see 4 leopards amongst many other animals and birds. Thanks to all the staff for making our stay one to remember

EXCELLENT
We stayed as an extension to my 50th birthday celebrations. When the team learned of this, they wanted to do Wilpattu (sister camp) ... and they succeeded. We did a full day safari with superb driver and guide. Food was excellent. Room was tent luxury. Clean, comfortable, out with nature and lovely views of the stars. The camp manager went out of his way to interact with guests. A real wildlife experience with a real human, personal touch.
