Thank you for a truly wonderful stay. We absolutely loved our two nights and would not recommend anything less. We were initially a bit apprehensive about visiting Yala as last year we were fortunate to safari in Africa. We were so glad that we did! The family tent was beautifully spacious and comfortable. Even though it was very hot this time of the year, the AC worked really well to ensure a very peaceful sleep. The food was incredible, and we loved the different locations. Our naturalist guide was exceptional and really passionate about conservation and sustainability. I'm so pleased to see no plastic water bottles! We did a morning and afternoon safari during our stay and would recommend only 1 per day so you can relax and enjoy the lodge. We saw many animals, including 2 leopards. We enjoyed visiting the quieter block 5 as well as we had read about the crowds. Thank you so much. This stay was a true highlight.

We loved our time at Yala. The staff were so attentive and caring. They were very focused on our teenage children and making sure they had the best time. The food was delicious and they provided great western options for the kids. Our tent/cabin was very spacious and slept five of us very easily and comfortable beds. The naturalists and drivers were amazing. We were lucky enough to see a multitude of animals including leopard and sloth bear. We loved our stay here.

An amazing experience. Convenient location: particularly for Block 5, which is quieter. It’s also very rural: one morning we surprised a pair of Golden Jackals about 100 meters from our breakfast! At night, the stars are a revelation (if it’s not too cloudy). Beautiful camp: Every detail executed perfectly. It’s all natural with several ponds, active bird life and occasional visits by monkeys. Dreamy room: large, airy, very comfortable bed. The bed-side charging points and the great lighting were a plus. Legendary candlelit dinners. Delicious food, with a wide variety on offer and changing every day. The chef went out of his way to accommodate our daily request for scrumptious Yala curd. Expert guiding: Don, Dulip, and Presanthe were excellent spotters (how did they see the sloth bears in that heavy brush?): we saw elephant, leopards, buffalo, mongooses, crocodiles, loads of birds, and interesting insects. . A professional, well-run operation: without rigid attention to timings. The team was open to suggestions, ideas, requests. Everyone in camp was warm, friendly, helpful. We will miss you all and remember our time at Leopard Safaris with affection and longing to be there.

A fantastic experience! We did 3 game drives and saw lots of wildlife, including leopard; elephants; crocodiles; sloth bear; water buffalo; spotted deer and many fabulous birds. The accommodation, staff and service were exceptional. A truly unforgettable experience! We would recommend it to anyone.

The level of service and facilities at this camp was second to none. The cuisine was divine, the accommodation first class and the private dining in unique locations around the property was amazing. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The safari vehicles were in great condition and comfortable. We had the opportunity to see 2 leopards, a tusker elephant and lots of other wildlife common in Yala National Park. No sloth bear seen, but I will be back again for another stay in the future to hopefully see this elusive creature...

We had a fabulous time here. The rooms are well equipped & great having air con and fans. We spent some time around the pool and every night the team set up dinner in a different locations and the food…..wow!!!! This is some of the best of Sri Lankan food we experienced. Cannot fault their effort and the experience. The safari drives were fun and despite not seeing a leopard we did see lots of bird life and some elephants. The team were amazing (thanks to Don, our Naturalist).

Stayed for 2 nights. Air conditioned tent with an outside shower and a very comfortable bed. The food was great and we ate communally, sharing experiences with our fellow guests was great fun. We did 4 safaris and were lucky enough to see a sloth bear and a leopard.
