An honest review:Exceptional & ElevatingExperience
From the bottom of our hearts we write this review with warmth & Appreciation Yala Safari Camping & its team is and will forever remain as one of our greatest experiences & memories as a couple & as a monumental time on our 3 week journey we called out honeymoon. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with kindness and a level of hospitality that could only be measured by the finest hotels as 5 Star treatment. Our expectations were brood & we left ourselves open & willing to whatever might have come. The overlooking view when you arrive of Yala National Park is absolutely breathtaking and one of a kind. Mahesh, Yala Safari Camping’s young & vibrant owner was personally there to ensure that our stay was nothing less than stellar. His energy & passion towards his company & his guests were evident every minute he was in our presence. He has created an atmosphere that is nothing less then extravagant among the natural and rugged wilderness. Ravi, the leading manager, is a man experience. His personable approach to the guest makes you feel as if there is not a thing impossible well staying with them. Ravi ran a very strong team, his leadership abilities shined through, and his staff held him to the highest standard, as he did his staff. Our Safari Driver, Ichi knew how to navigate the jungle better than anyone else in the park, & our friend & inspiration Kelum, the leading Chef at Yala Safari, delivered mouth watering meals that filled our bellies!

Yala Safari Camping - fantastic experience
Yala Safari Camping provided a great 'glamping' experience, with excellent canvas tents with proper beds and bathroom. The campground was lit in the evenings by candlelight to enjoy drinks and dinner. The location was the best in the area, providing great access to Yala national park without having to enter through any towns, keeping the safari experience real! The accomodation could be improved considering the cost to stay here, but overall we would definately go there again.

Professional safari and excellent service
Lucky, i saw four leopards, two in evening safari and two in morning. Even we weren’t the first car arrived but the diver/guider can find the best locations to us for taking picture once the leopard moving. It is because he can estimate the animal behavior with well-known of yala national park. He is Achi, one of the best safari driver and guider. Amazing safari. 5 elephants with BB elephant and BB leopard with mother are so cute and touching. The camping provided a 6-star hotel service with 4 star facilities. Make me feel warm. Room and the surrounding environment are well matched and organised to provide a great relax, spa with natural. I have a delicious lunch with with squirrel, so cute.
