Wilpattu Tree House

Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Die Zimmer waren gut ausgestattet und sehr groß. Das Essen war sehr gut. Leider hatten wir nicht ein Zimmer im Baumhaus. Aber die Aussicht und die Ruhe abgesehen von den Tieren dort, war sehr entspannent. Die Lodge war sehr nahe am Wilpattu Nationalpark. Also wenn wir noch einmal wieder kommen dann wieder dort aber dann hoffentlich im Baumhaus :)

Fantastic location right outside the gates of the National Park. Massive room with enormous balcony that was up in the trees so you could see amazing birds really close up. Very friendly staff and good food although not a lot of atmosphere when we were there. Quite a few mosquitos around dusk but there's a lot of water nearby - but as a result, lots of birds and other wildlife too. Got a great packed breakfast on our early safari drives.

This was our second trip to the Wilpatu Tree house. The management has changed since we were last here 6 years ago. I feel it has faded slightly. The staff were friendly and eager to please, but it felt there was some anxiety in their manner, as if they were scared of the bosses. There was no direct evidence of this, though. We had an issue with the shower, which was quickly solved. But, oh, the wildlife! From treehouse 3 we were right next to the canopy of a fruiting strangler fig. We were feet away from over 20 species of birds, including both varieties of Hornbill. Of course we went on a safari (and got to see a Sloth bear) but the view of the birds from our balcony was stunning. I couldn't tear myself away!
