Nice and comfortable tents with private outdoor bathroom, providing a very special experience! The fans kept the tent cool at night. Lovely porch area to relax. Breakfast and dinner BBQ were excellent. The hosts were very kind and welcoming.

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.

What's there not to like? The room or the tent, while it's basic, it's self sufficient bug free with an ensuite shower and toilet. The grounds around the camp is spacious and a true immersion in mother nature. The food is authentic Sri Lankan cuisine. The 4 dogs are therapeutic to stroke. The safari tour was guided by Sudesh who has eagle's vision for spotting wild life from miles away. He'd helped us to spot snake, monitor lizard, all kinds of birds, crocodiles and definitely a leopard resting on a tree 20m away.

It sounds like a wonderful place to stay, especially for nature enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the biodiversity and scenic landscapes near Yala National Park. Staying at Podi Hoona Eco Bush Camp would likely provide a peaceful and eco-friendly experience, allowing guests to appreciate the natural surroundings and perhaps spot some of the local wildlife, including geckos, in their natural habitat. Highly recommended for anyone who looks for a wonderful wildlife experience….

We stayed at Big Game safari camp for 2 nights, we had a very stylish glamping tent that we stayed in - it was very comfortable and immersive in the jungle nature. Big Game organised a full day safari for us which was amazing! We saw so many animals (tusk elephants, leopard, sloth bear, crocodiles, water buffalo, etc). They prepared great breakfast, lunch & dinners for us also & we really enjoyed our time at Big Game. Would recommend to a friend!

Before even arriving at mahoora yala safari we were added into a WhatsApp group where they helped us arrange transport to Mahoora from Ella and from the safari to Mirissa! On arrival we were greeted by porters who carried our bags to and from tent (I use the word tent very lightly) were brilliant as the rain was intense when we arrived. The trails to our rooms were lit with little fires which was a beautiful touch and really very helpful. The staff were very polite and professional. Tea and coffee facilities and chill area were great. The candlelit dinner was delicious and plentiful. Unfortunately the night walk was called off due to severe and persistent bad weather but the tent are so luxurious it was a welcome rest in our accommodation listening to the rain and nature around us. Brilliant to read about the eco-friendly initiatives they take such as sourcing food locally, composting all organic waste and minimising plastic use. The safari was out of this world and so well organised. We had a jeep to ourselves which added to the experience so much. Highly recommend booking accommodation and safari with Mahoora!

This is truly an outdoor experience and not to be confused with a hotel stay. The staff were absolutely wonderful you couldn't fault them. They were there but yet they were not. You had all the privacy you wanted and felt you were all by yourself but when you needed the staff they were there immediately. It's an experience staying in a tree house so close to jungle and not to be missed but it has to be your cup of tea not everyone can handle it. Your at one with nature and your definitely sharing with them. The staff arranged a safari tour for us and their driver / guide made sure we missed nothing and we got to see a leopard close up.

Basecamp - Yala features mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking, located in Yala, 15 km from Situlpawwa.

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 :)
