Fantastic little campsite in the middle of the Sri Lankan bush, only accessible by 4WD. Head in here and feel the serenity. With just the two tents it's a small, perfectly formed operation run by the wonderful host Nero, who not only looks after your every need but whips up amazing meals in his little camp kitchen, served on a table under the stars, with a bonfire to complete the magic.

The hotel was excellent. The pool like all the pools was very hot, not refreshing but huge and good to get wet and let the breeze slightly cool you down.

We visited Yala for two days (with two separate game drives - one evening and one morning one) and although we enjoyed the animals we observed, we did not have any sightings of leopards despite being the national park with the highest concentration in the world. But that is nature so we were just unlucky on those days. However, the most disappointing aspect of Yala was the sheer number of vehicles allowed into the park at one time. As soon as elephants or leopards are sighted, drivers communicate among themselves and vehicles all rush to the scene creating a massive traffic jams. This makes it feel very mass market and doesn’t seem very respectful of the wildlifeSandra - 4.0Scored 4.0
Terrible time. No wild animals as expected.
Terrible time. No wild animals as expected. Roads are all around the jungle which is pretty disturbing to the wild life. After all it is supposed to be a protected zone for wild life. Jeeps are crawling every corner of the territory. Amused to see all of that disturbing scenes in a wild life protected zone. It's like business zone. Poor animals.AAnonymousThailand - 10Scored 10
I loved Yala.
I loved Yala. The number of different animals seen was slightly disappointing but apparently wash outs due to rain prevented us from accessing some internal roads. The sunrise and scenery were stunning. I would rate it as good value despite the lack of animals. The whole experience was wonderful.ElizabethAustralia - 6.0Scored 6.0

The national park in Yala is beautiful however it is hard to drive around as the roads are poorly maintained. There is a large populatin of birds and i think this safari would suit bird watchers more than those who want to see the elephants. The 6am -6pm safari is too long. Sigiriya is far superior when it comes to large herds of elephants.

The hike in the nature reserve was amazing, we saw lots of amazing animals and landscapes. Were lucky and we were able to meet the tiger as well. It is important to note that the trip should take drinks and food, the hotel staff where we were did not tell us the length of the trip and did not make sure to let us know that we should take care of ourselves. Of course we were smarter and brought with us the necessary equipment .. But there were those next to us who did not and that was unfortunate

We stayed at Laya Beach resort which was very beautiful and was very close to our safari's which made our stay even better. The beach, however, was too rough to swim which was a little disappointing.

- From AR$ 125,123.77 per night9.0Scored 9.0SuperbRated superb· 174 reviewsWe loved everything about this hotel! As this is a small hotel (only 3 rooms), we were the only guests (we booked 2 rooms here). Everything looks like new, there’s a nice pool zone, you can reach beach on foot (takes less than 10 minutes). The staff was amazing and we couldn’t imagine a better service. They prepared a lunch box for our 5AM Yala safari tour. We also had lunch and dinner here - the food was amazing and the portions were huge. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who considers having a safari at Yala national park!
ErnestaLithuania - From AR$ 136,943.50 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 142 reviewsThe staff was fantastic. Always around for any small need. The location, admittedly far from the city, while the food is provided by the hotel, also prepares breakfast to take away when you go on safari. Dinners were really delicious. The pumpkin soup was a pleasant surprise for me. Insanely delicious. The pool provided solace after a day's safari. The water clean and warm. Plus, close to the gate to the national park, which is not the main entrance, ensuring no unnecessary traffic and queues to enter. Absolutely recommend!PawelPoland
- From AR$ 265,448.61 per night8.5Scored 8.5Very goodRated very good· 396 reviewsI stayed a few nights with a friend primarily to do a safari in Yala National park. The hotel is very nice, clean with friendly and helpful staff. The facilities, especially the Gym and SPA (for massages) are very good. The highlight of our trip was the full day Safari which the front desk organised for us. We had the best driver with great knowledge of the best spots to see the wildlife we wanted. He made the experience truly magical. I would definitely recommend asking the front desk to organise it with Madushanka.
AlbertoItaly - From AR$ 287,784.67 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very goodRated very good· 116 reviewsLeopard Nest in Yala offers a unique glamping experience amidst nature. The tents are spacious and well-equipped, providing comfort without losing the sense of adventure. The staff is attentive and the food is delicious, often featuring local cuisine. However, being close to wildlife means occasional encounters with insects and other creatures, so be prepared. Overall, it's a great option for those seeking a balance between luxury and the thrill of the outdoors.LakshanSri Lanka

Had feeling that I live in camping but with all modern appliances and city comfort. Very friendly and helpful stuff and manager, who made our stay more comfortable than we expected! Recommend to get complimentary round trip first to see places around. Take a walk to sand dunes on sunset, visit Kirinda beach and town and ask to rent Yala safari from hotel only!
