Wadula Safari - Yala

The staff was super nice and the owner took us for a walk around the area during sunset to show us all the birds and the beautiful nature. we had great candle light dinner and also used the opportunity to do a safari with them. They prepared breakfast for us which we had at the beach during the safari and our guide was an expert in finding the animals ;)

Fantastic place such a fabulous spot and idyllic in every way the brothers who run it were so kind and thoughtful. Best biryani ever, given on a table under the stars and fireflies dancing around totally magic. The safari they organised was great as was the evening walk they gave us and we’ve were able to enjoy a sunset over the lake. I can’t recommend highly enough I think I have found paradise.

It was all perfect

Amazing location at the border of the Yala park. It’s quite incredible Dulaj and his team managed to build such luxurious bungalows in the middle of the jungle! You sleep with wildlife sounds surrounding you. Being super local they have great relationships with safari guides, Nalinda was a top animal spotter

it was in the middle of the jungle and near to the national park. Dulaj looked after everything and organised a safari tour for us. we saw so many animals! he even picked us up because the place was hard to find.

the beds were very hard.

The location is fantastic, just right next to the national park (do remember to contact prior to arrival because the place is really hard to find). The owner and other staffs are incredibly friebdly and helpful. And the safari trip they arranged was beyond excellent.

The mattress is slight hard to us so it wasn't a very pleasant sleep, but for the safari trip we need to get up at 4am so it doesn't matter that much. However an upgrade on the mattress would make it 10/10.

Spacious room, very convenient location for an early morning safari as this is very close to the park entrance. The end afternoon walk was nice and interesting too. Kind and helpful personnel.

Nothing we did not like, but if it can help others this hotel is really in the jungle with all what it means - it could be uncomfortable in some aspects due to the presence of animals (but would like to highlight the support of the personnel to make the stay as good as possible).

At end of a 4x4 dirt trail, the brothers have worked hard during difficult times to create a small high-end eco-friendly resort in the woods where monkeys play and peacocks crow. Recently built modern brick and plaster cottages with a/c face a lagoon lake with a property adjacent to Yala National Park. Service is excellent.

We enjoyed our stay at Chamith’s hotel. He owns the place with his brother and they’ve had a really hard go at it since covid. You can now really tell they’re doing their absolute best to give you an amazing experience. The bungalows are new, clean, large and have everything you need. The owners prepared us food for the evenings and even packed us breakfast for our very early safari (very tasty!). All in all, if you like wildlife and nature, don’t think twice before coming here! Thank you Chamith.

The only negative would be the very very hard bed (and we usually prefer harder beds). Kinda felt like sleeping on the floor. The bungalows are located in the middle of swamps - my frog-phobic girlfriend hated it, but it’s really because she’s from the city, so barely a negative.

The place was great. And the room Super clean and organised with everything.
