Pelican Lake safari resort

Amazing setting near the river where water buffalos and birds can be spotted, helpful, friendly host with playful children who showed us the best spots to hike and swim, fantastic cooking to let us discover delicious local flavours, coconut fresh from the tree, great location for safari. It was destiny that brought us here as our original address cancelled for no specific reason. What a stay! Hope to go back one day during the raining season to experience the difference.

The location is amazing, soo peaceful and romantic. The owner is super kind and the foods are delicious. Especially the breakfast was a king’s breakfast. The rooms are super clean.

Everything was great.

Amazing place to stay when visiting Udawalawe, beautiful location, the staff and owner were incredible. Once booked, they were very prompt in replying to my questions, organising the safari to Udawalawe. We arrived quite late, but straight away the owner met us as we arrived, showed us straight to the room. Cooked and beautiful dinner, on the floating pontoon over looking the lake, the food was great and there was so much of it. The room was very clean, hot shower and good air conditioning. The safari was again, excellent, we were picked up at 6am, they supplied a small snack and water during the safari, then on return we were supplied with an awesome breakfast, no shortage of great food. All in all, highly recommended, everything you need for your time in Udawalawe. The owner will make you stay a great one, that’s for sure.

The pelican lake Guesthouse has a beautiful location right at very clear river and lake where you can have a swim. The hosts there are very friendly and try everything to make you happy. It is very close to the Udawalawe Nationalpark and it was possible to get a very impressing safari arranged by the host.

The hotel is located perfectly at a lake close to the national park. The staff is awesome making the stay a unique experience - caring so much. Food is the best. You can also book a safari. English is very good and it was very enjoyable. 10/10 will do it again. Thanks again for the best experience ❤️

Very nice guest house near the canal and lagoon. Large and well maintained territory with peacocks walking around. Had delicious lunch and dinner, which was prepared by hosts wife. Owner also provides safari ride option for reasonable price, host was also a driver. Very good experience. Totally recommend!

Powercut happened at night time so we need to walk around with flashlight and thousands of bugs went to that only source of light - that was interesting. Of course this do not depends on host, just a situation in country.
