Wilpattu Mookalan Resort

If you like to stay close to nature, you could not find a better place. Breakfast and dinner was served just outside the room and with the jungle just outside, like a dream. The family running this place are the friendliest people you could imagine. We went on a night safari outside the park and a full day safari inside the park. Both are were great and we saw a lot of different animals, including two leopards. I would definitly stay here again if I come back to Wilpattu.

Location for the safari was perfect. The dinner prepared was delicious and the staff were really kind

Perfekt beliggenhed og virkelig søde værter. Safarien var virkelig god og vi så alle de dyr vi havde drømt om. Køleskab på værelset var rigtig godt. Maden var helt fantastisk!

Der var indelukket og meget dårlig luft på værelset og fanen virkede ikke. Og for mange myg til at man kan lade døren stå åben.

Excellent hospitality, enjoyable safari ride, delicious food.

This was a lovely place right next to the entrance to Wilpattu Safari Park. The owner was friendly and helpful. We stayed for two nights and ate an evening meal both nights, the food was very tasty and the portions were huge. The rooms were basic but had everything you needed. We organised a full day safari (at extra reasonable cost) via the accommodation and I would highly recommend this. We had a great day out with all food and drinks provided included in the price. We saw two leopards, elephants, jackals, crocodiles, mongoose and many birds.

Absolutely brilliant stay. The people are so very friendly and so lovely with my children. De room itself is clean and had plenty of space for the four of us. The bathroom was proper and has a good shower. The food was also great and abundant. We saw plenty animals just walking around the premises and the lake (Crocodiles, deer, monkeys, birds). The safari with Nisal was really the cherry on top. We got to see three different leopards, two elephants and many, many other animals. Nisal was also respectful of the animals which is important to me. We were so incredibly happy with our stay here, I would recommend it to anyone.

Wilpattu Mookalan Resort was the perfect base for our adventures in Wilpattu National Park. Our hosts were so kind and hospitable, providing incredible dinners the two nights we stayed, breakfast and a packed lunch for our safari. We did the full day Safari organised through the resort and were guided by the owner’s son Nisal who was very knowledgeable about the park’s wildlife and dedicated to helping us see as much as possible. Highlight of the Safari was seeing a Sloth Bear! The resort is right at the entrance of the national park so we did not need to wake up too early for the safari. You can also walk from the resort to the lake which is lovely in the afternoon. We would highly recommend the resort for anyone headed to Wilpattu.

The location was amazing right next to the national park, we walked along the lake and saw an elephant, deer and crocodiles! We watched sunset here both nights, it was beautiful. Father & son are both so friendly and helpful. The food we ate here is some of the best food we have eaten in Sri Lanka so far, such generous portions. The beds are comfy, AC is good and shower warm! Mosquito nets are also great

Nothing

It is located right next to the gate of the national park, so the location is perfect. However, the rooms are very small. As the lodge is hidden in the jungle, there is no breeze at all. It is very warm and humid, with a lot of mosquitoes, which makes it practically impossible to enjoy the beautiful surroundings outside. Make sure to ask the staff to prepare dinner in advance, as there is no other place nearby to have dinner. Compared to the other accommodation options, it was rather expensive.
