Not good, the room is very humid, the water is salty, too simple, breakfast and dinner have to be paid extra, the price-performance ratio is very low, I wanted to return, but the way in and out is too difficult, so in the end I could only make do with one night, and the next day I went to the park and quickly escaped from this damn place

The Safari with Dilhara and Kasun was really nice. Dilhara knows a lot about the animals and was really good in spotting the Leopards. We saw 5 Leopards including a mother with two babys. They were really respectful towards the animals and Kasun turned off the engine as soon as we were close to them.

We spent one of our two days completing the Safari with the wonderful Dilhara who took us on a tour of Yala national park. He was so knowledgable about all aspects of the wildlife and natural habitat of the animals that we encountered. Genuinely proud to share with us what he knew and excited to accompany us on the hunt for wildlife. The highlight was finding a herd of elephants and even getting close enough to touch the one Dilhara knew well- affectionately named Raja. Would defo recommend - even with the 5am alarm haha

We spent 3 nights at Mahoora tented safari camp. The food and service from the staff was excellent. We went on 4 half day safaris and one full day and were accompanied by a wonderful naturalist called Vimansha on all of the safaris. His enthusiasm for wildlife was contagious and his knowledge of the wildlife and especially birds was encyclopedic! One of the safaris was to Bundala where not only did we see many birds but also some elephants and the scenery was beautiful. Worth the drive as also very peaceful there. The drivers on all our trips were great turning off the engine at each stop and one of them spotted a leopard for us.

We were there for 2 days and had a very great time! It‘s an unique experience to sleep in the wild inside a tend without giving up a good service and daily cleaning. (Besides, during the whole day you can enjoy small safaris around the camp) The safari was amazing.! We had a gread guide (Dilhara) with an amazing driver . With already having some good knowledge about the animal world, we still have learned a lot of details and facts about the park, animals and actualities. thank you camp for the nice experience!

What an experience. I'd been put off camping since being a young girl due to shower blocks! This was off the chart. The tents were secluded and quiet, with everything you could wish for, even massive fans. We went on safari from there which was incredible. Candelit dinner where the food was excellent and the service even better. Only stayed for one night but the breakfast was amazing, can't recommend it highly enough.
