Great glamping site with a brilliant safari trip. Ask for MJ to guide you in the park, he was excellent - knowledgeable, engaged and discreet. It rained heavily while we were there but it didn’t dampen our spirits. Highly recommended!

It was a magical travel experience. It was nine o'clock in the evening when we arrived at the campsite. The jeep was bumpy for more than ten minutes and I almost felt sold. After arriving, I discovered a new world. In addition, we didn't eat. Although the taste of BBQ was average, When you are eating, you will be accompanied by many small animals when you lower your head. When you raise your head, you will see the starry sky, which is very atmospheric.

Stayed one night, wish it was more. My tent was 2 single beds on stretchers . Very comfortable and really clean. The shower had hot water and a added bonus to tenting. Water provided as well as a fan. The lovely touches were lighting, outside flame lighting and incense burning after eating our evening meal. Which was lovely sitting outside with candles and great service. If you want security you have a padlock to put through the zips on the tent. Breakfast was served on time with fresh fruit and a omlete. Tea and coffee is available to help yourself. Beautifully kept grounds, clean, swept and very inviting. Monkeys in the trees in the morning .Definitely would recommend and we did the safari. Saw a leopard and 2 elephants with tusks which is pretty rare. Loved every minute of our stay and safari.

Wow, what an incredible experience. We booked a private safari with our stay at Big Game Yala and the entire experience was excellent from the moment we arrived. The check in was in a military style tent, and we received a friendly welcome. Our tent was neat and I couldn't believe contained its own private toilet and a shower with hot water!! We got a driver and guide in the safari for just the 2 of us, and they were fabulous at pointing out animals. The same guide took us for a nightime walk, as well as a morning walk to see more of the local wildlife which was included in the cost. On the safari we saw a leopard, several elephants, mongoose, deer, monkeys, exotic birds, hares, crocodiles, and more. Dinner was served as if it was a five star restaurant but in the open under the stars, and each table had its own candle to see by. It was a 3 course meal which was delicious! And in the trees around us were fireflies. It was so cool. They also provided teas and coffees and breakfast. The staff were so nice and made sure we were comfortable. I'd highly recommend Big Game Yala! It was our favourite experience during our Sri Lanka trip.

Extremely happy with the stay here. This is an authentic jungle camp experience following eco-tourism guidelines. The tented rooms are simple but very comfortable and all meals served were delicious. The best part of this camp are the staff - everyone is so attentive (asking about food preferences) and hospitable. The safaris organized (with guides) were very good. All in all, go for this experience - you will not regret it. Some things to take note of: the camp is situated 15-20 min from the National Park gate so it's a bit interior. The WiFi connection is less if you're someone who needs it badly but phone signal is fine. If travelling as a family of 4 adults, recommend taking 2 separate tents versus a family tent. A family tent for 2 adults and 2 children is fine.

PEOPLE THEY WORK THERE STOLE MY NIKON CAMERA AND ALSO 500US $ It was a really hard experience! Never ever go there! I’m a guide and group leader from a group from Germany. When we arrived they gave us many instructions but nobody told us to use lockers for belonging so we felt safe in this camp! For me there is rule that a tent is a safe space! We just went to dinner after 2 hours my belongings got stolen, also money from one person from my group, she was in the tent next to me! I really hope they will learn that honesty lasts longer than to lie and not treating humans in a right way! Even I understand that they’re thing we have better karma, maybe we have but thing about the reason!

The tents are very comfortable with fan and electricity. Basis shower and toilet. The cam is very clean and Wi-Fi is available in public areas. Tea and coffee available all day. Games and balls available to play. Breakfast was freshly prepared with fruit and eggs. The only downside was the evening meal- they provide a bbq of chicken, pork, fish or veg at a fixed price- so you either buy an overpriced meal or don’t eat and take your own snacks. They provide wooden box to store food and a fridge for your drinks and had no objection to you eating and drinking at their tables.
