Atha Safari Resort & Riverside Camping

The owners are amazing, very friendly and kind, the place is out of this world. You can definitely feel the atmosphere of a bird paradise. The best thing is the safari trip arranged by Asanka. The driver with over 15 years of experience was a very complete guide. Although I have been on safari many times even in African countries, this was my best safari trip. It was truly amazing. If you come to Udawalawe, do not miss this place. Highly recommended.

I can't describe in words how much I enjoyed "Atha Safari". Everything here is perfect. The cabin is very clean, the beds, the wifi are all perfect. The park is built with great attention to the river in front. It is truly a green paradise. Book a safari with Asanka without fail. It was amazing. They took good care of me, I felt completely comfortable and welcome. I had breakfast and dinner. It was the best meal of my trip, they took into account that I don't eat meat. Thank you for everything, it was so heartwarming. I hope I can meet you again one day. My heart is filled with wonderful emotions. Never miss this.

We really enjoyed our time here. The host was very helpful and organised our safari and transfer to our next destination. Our dinner and packed breakfast on the safari were excellent. Great value for money!

It was a pleasure to stay at Bird Paradise by the river! A warm welcome, all our wishes were fulfilled, our questions were patiently answered. The safari prepared by the owner Asanka was amazing. The food was very good. The wifi facilities were excellent with a very clean room. So we will come back.

Alles prima, Asanka hat sich hervorragend gekümmert 🤍

The place is a little paradise. Everything was perfect and the room was amazing. The food was delicious and the cleanliness was top notch. The wifi service was excellent. Their best feature is the excellent safari trip. They have a very knowledgeable guide and driver with 15 years of experience. Don't miss this place.

The location by the river is fabulous. The murmur of the river, together with the sound of cicadas, provides a peaceful background sound. You can enjoy it in the hammocks and beds in the garden. The rooms at this cosy resort are of great design with highly original elements. They are beautiful, spacious, clean, and well-equipped. Everything worked, and the staff was friendly. We had lunch, dinner, and breakfast at the resort, which were all very tasty. We had the riverview (King's) room for 1p, the deluxe room for 1p, and the villa for 2. The latter two rooms have a cute porch with chairs. The safari we booked through the resort was very good. The driver/guide knows his job. He drove us around safely, and showed many animals. Communication with Asanka was easy and fast. It was very convenient that we could pay by creditcard.

Hardly anything. Perhaps the only comment I can give is that, unfortunately, the jacuzzi was empty. But I guess that was to be expected at the start of the rainy season... Wifi was a bit unstable, but that is quite usual in Sri Lanka and not a problem if you have good local roaming.

Perfect for exploring Udawalawe and the National Park! Beautiful surroundings and a very attractive river flowing in front of the rooms. Friendly staff. Well equipped and clean room! Their best feature is the excellent safari trip. The driver was a very experienced guide. The food was delicious and the owner family is super friendly and supportive. Highly recommended.

It is a wonderful, beautiful cottage. Very clean and everything is functional. The hospitable owner Asanka was a great host. Taxis and a safari were arranged for us. The food was excellent. . A wonderful location close to the safari park. The sound of the river and the birds are amazing. Great for a few days' vacation. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

The breakfast was the best I had in Sri Lanka. A little paradise in a wonderful setting. The safari arranged by the owner Asanka was fantastic. The wifi was very good and the air-conditioned room was amazing. If you are visiting Udawalawe, don't miss this place. Highly recommended.

Everything was perfect.
