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.

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!

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.

Big Game Camp in Yala is ideal for anyone looking for authentic jungle camp experience but with slightly better amenities. The camp has a tent based setup with just a fan and an attached commode and bath area in the tent. But the overall look is still aesthetic. Activities like bonfire with candlelight dinner, evening and night excursions, and relaxation area within the camp make the stay special. Staff is extremely polite, friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. Booking a jungle safari for Yala with Big Game is a good idea because it will make the entire process smooth for you with door-to-door pick up and drop and packed breakfast for the safari. A few things to note for your stay: 1. Carry handheld fans if you are travelling during the hot season because the camp only has floor fans including the tent. 2. Carry mosquito repellent sprays 3. Don’t carry too many snacks/confectioneries to the camp because you will not be able to keep them with you in the tent. Team has lockers and a fridge where you can store any eatable items you bring. 4. Water in the taps is hard so think before using too much soap or washing hair. 5. There is no a la carté menu to order food. You will have to eat what camp kitchen serves. They serve a 3 course meal for lunch and dinner with an option to choose between vegetarian and non-vegetarian meal. 6. For less than 4 people, try to avoid booking a private safari. Most jungle safari jeeps have 6 seats and it’s a waste of money to book an entire jeep for just 2-3 people.

Great to be back in nature. There are actually two camps using the same facilities which is a great idea to reduce impact on the planet. I stayed in Big Camp Eco Lodge which was comfortable and well appointed. The game drive into Yala was good with the driver / guide being knowledgeable. We saw a Sloth Bear which was a new experience for me. Lots of birds and crocodiles. It felt a little unorganised and not enough communication at times but a personal note and didn’t affect the experience too much.

Beautiful peaceful campsite in the national park. You stay in tents that have all you need. Dinner is served around a campfire. Lots of (natural) activities organised by a very well prepared staff like a evening walk to spot night wildlife or morning walk through the rice fields highly recommended for birdwatchers. We stayed 2 nights and we loved it!
