Guest Reviews

• Nick (9/5): A really nice place to stay if you want to do a safari tour! - A really nice place to stay if you want to do a safari tour! -
• Yousra (10/5): Incroyable je recommande à 1000% - Nous avons séjourné au camp pendant deux nuits et c'était exceptionnel ! Nous avons été très bien accueillis par le personnel. Le personnel était très attentionné avec une table très soignée et une nourriture incroyable ! Concernant le jour du safari, ce fut une journée magnifique qui restera à jamais gravée dans nos mémoires. Nous avons pris une journée qui était très bien organisé avec un déjeuner à emporter et des collations ! Je ne peux que recommander le camp ainsi que l’organisation très professionnelle pour aller au parc Yala.
• Steph93470 (10/5): Une super expérience - Une aventure géniale, le personnel aux petits soins, un concept super. Le repas du soir est delicieux
• Hannah (10/5): Amazing staff and safari! - The staff were amazing, the food was all delicious. The highlight was the 2 safaris we did, where we saw leopards, elephants, bears, crocodiles! Out guide Earl was so knowledgable about all the animals and birds. Could not recommend more! Nothing! The tents are pretty basic but exactly as described and comfortable.
• Thitipong (10/5): Recommended for stay and explore around Kataragama and Yala national park - The camp is great both location, atmosphere, and staffs. The house was clean and quiet, although some bugs can be observed. The service is excellent and the food is really organic and healthy. This place also provides safaris so you need not to arrange with other tours. Nothing
• peter (6/5): Would not recommend, or go back ever - The breakfast Overcharging, not helpful to our guide, mislead about access ( didn’t need a jeep our guide did it in a normal car) I think it’s because our guide booked our safari elsewhere which was excellent Overpriced dinner
• Gillian (9/5): -
• Nicola (10/5): - Loved the ambience here - Rustic charm. Rooms are very comfortable with great ac and shower. All the staff were friendly and our guide Nikki and our driver were brilliant. Nikki answered so many questions and gave so much information on our safari. I hadn’t realised that a lot of other safaris don’t include a guide and just have a driver. We saw jeeps pulling up with the occupants not knowing what they were looking at! The food is so delicious and so much of it - you won’t go hungry. Loved all the resident dogs too
• Maëva (10/5): Super endroit et personnel au top - Super accueil, personnel très gentil et chaleureux. Endroit dépaysant au calme c’est une super expérience de dormir la bas! Ils sont aux petits soins. La tente est bien et propre. Ils ont des chiens très attachants ! Le safari : nous n’avons vu aucune léopard et juste 2/3 éléphants. Pour le prix c’est bien dommage même si ce n’est pas de leur faute…
• Bettina (7/5): - Sehr bemüht, 2 safaris. Essen war mittelmäßig, sonst alles okay. Personal sehr bemüht
• Emmie (10/5): Highlight of our holiday! - We had the most incredible stay at Camp Leopard It was truly a magical overnight stay and without a doubt the highlight of our entire Sri Lankan holiday. The food was absolutely delicious, and they were so thoughtful in catering for our three little ones — even surprising them with s’mores around the campfire, which they loved! The property itself is stunning and really makes you feel like you’re camping deep in the jungle under the stars — such a unique and immersive experience. Highly recommend! -
• Martina (9/5): -
• Saskia (8/5): Beautiful experience with amazing hospitality and the best possible safari option. Worth every cent! - The staff and professionalism of the whole experience at Camp Leopard was amazing. Our Safari guide Nikki was just fantastic- giving us such insight into the animals. We did a half day and full day and were so lucky to have private tours both days so were treated like princesses. After a full day of safari in the Jeep, my back and neck would have loved a softer bed. Dinner on our second night (after our full day safari as well) was a bit uncomfortable as we were seated at one table with 7 other guests but catered a 3 course meal. We were feeling too tired to socialise.
• Franziska (9/5): -
• Kate (9/5): - The staff, so helpful and welcoming. The safaris were fantastic, thank you Earl 😊 🙏
• Edith-Clare (8/5): Excellent safari provider — hospitality a little odd - Reasonably priced compared to alternatives in the area. Our half day (evening) Safari guided by Nikki was great and we noted that most other vehicles in block A didn’t have a guide and hence struggled to spot wildlife. Some food was very good - especially the curries at lunch. We loved the set up for the dinner by the bonfire. Rooms were cleaned thoroughly. The food at the dinners was very expensive and rather disappointing. I also felt they made a bit of an over performance of check in needing to be at a specific time. And by not having a jeep on site, you are essentially trapped on site where prices are very high. I did see a small lane on the far right of the property, which according to maps would be a 5min walk to the main road and I believe the staff were using this route. Perhaps this is just to make you feel a bit more rural than you actually are. We also did not like the upsell pressure to try to get us to do additional safaris/ create large packages.
• Charlotte (10/5): -
• Ole Jørgen (9/5): Great place for safari - Nice place, good food and excellent safari, spotted leopard, buffalo, crock, elephant, deers, wild boar and lots of birds
• April (10/5): -
• Suzanne (10/5): Perfect safari experience - A highlight of our stay in Sri Lanka The most incredible full day Safari with a wonderful guide Nikki. 5 sightings of leopards (2 very up close) The whole experience at Camp Leopard was perfect.
• Thomas (10/5): Amazing experience for lifetime memories - Amazing experience with lifetime memories. Everything is up to expectations and more because they focused on small details that makes all the difference. They knew our names before we arrived, they knew I am dairy intolerant, the whole place is simple and at the same time it has an Indiana Jones feeling and we had the chance to see the Leopards so it was truly a wonderful experience. The place is very clean and the food was excellent ! Thank you very much!
• Neil (10/5): Professional and comfortable and lots of fun. We loved it. - Camp leopard was a wonderful tented property near to the entrance to yala national park. You have to book your safaris with them once you e booked at camp. The standard of vehicle and guiding wa superb. The meals in camp were excellent and the meals out on safari were also fab. The camp also organised to go to Bundala bird reserve for a morning bird safari and then dropped us at our next hotel. Nothing was too much trouble. We loved every minute of being with them. We saw leopard, sloth bear, elephants and plenty more. The bird life is amazing. Nothing!!!
• Emily (10/5): Wonderful Echo stay in Safari would be back again - Love that it was an eco-friendly stay and that the staff was super welcoming and went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable got to see baby elephants, and the food at dinner was delightful No notes
• Hannah (10/5): Amazing staff and food! Really knowledgeable safari guide. Loved the entire experience - Amazing staff and food! Really knowledgeable safari guide. Nothing
• Filippo (10/5): - Abbiamo trascorso una notte al Camp Leopard nello Yala National Park ed è stata un’esperienza davvero piacevole. Abbiamo alloggiato in una delle tende del camp: semplice ma molto confortevole e soprattutto pulita. Lo staff è stato estremamente carino e accogliente fin dal nostro arrivo, facendoci sentire subito a nostro agio. L’atmosfera del camp immerso nella natura rende il soggiorno ancora più speciale, perfetto per chi vuole vivere l’esperienza del parco in modo autentico. Un’ottima scelta per chi visita lo Yala National Park e vuole provare l’esperienza di dormire in tenda senza rinunciare al comfort. Consigliato!
• Kara (10/5): - Was a true jungle experience with safe, clean and comfortable accomodation.
• Aurelie (9/5): Top - Superbe parenthèse dans ce camp pour nos deux safaris. Nous avions pris l'option repas , délicieux et copieux . La literie était bonne . Le coût des safaris .
• Matthew (9/5): Peaceful stay near Yala Park - Lovely scenic setting. So peaceful. The tent we stayed in made you feel you were in with nature, but was clean and AC was a nice touch. Loved all the dogs too. ‘Rash’ was a great tour guide around The National Park. The evening meal was fantastic with Sri Lankan food and the chance to cook your own Hoppers and smoores. Nice touch. Nothing
• Jorge (10/5): Más que un alojamiento, una experiencia! - Toda una experiencia!! Un poco por encima del precio medio de la zona (sobre todo el safari) pero aún así muy recomendable
• Céline (9/5): Super Unterkunft für Safaris - - Sehr gute Safaris, die Guides wussten viel zu erzählen - Freundliches und bemühtes Personal - Hat Hunde auf dem Areal, welche gut umsorgt werden :) Wasserdruck bei der Dusche etwas schwach, Warmwasser funktionierte mal besser, mal weniger
• Ana Carolina (10/5): -
• Denise (10/5): -
• Georgia (10/5): Peaceful property with high quality food and service. Mr Ruwan is very professional. We expected more from Safari -
• Francesco (10/5): -
• Jessica (10/5): Amazing - We had a great stay! The Tents are comfortable and clean, felt very luxurious. The staff is so attentive and friendly, especially the Managers is very detail oriented and so helpful! He really ensures that you have the best time. Our Guide for the Safari was amazing and so knowledgeable! He and the drive both made sure all the animal encounters where in a respectful and ethical manner. We can definitely recommend Camp Leopard! (The food is absolutely amazing too!)
• Saptarshi (10/5): Would love to come back. Stay, food, safari : everything was great about this place. - Great location, exceptional hospitality. Ruwan & Nikki were exceptionally great. We were also welcomed by the dogs at the property. Nothing.
• Oliver (10/5): -
• Annie (10/5): Super locatie en heerlijk verblijf met goede safari - Heerlijk verblijf in Camp Leopard. We werden heel vriendelijk verwelkomd, de tenten waren super goed uitgerust, het sanitair was uitstekend, zeker naar Srilankaanse normen. Het diner buiten in de tuin was zeer lekker maar ook heel gezellig in een mooie setting met veel sfeerverlichting. We werden tijdig gewekt voor onze ochtendsafari. Net genoeg tijd om een tas koffie, koekjes en banaantjes te verorberen alvorens te vertrekken. Bij aankomst aan de ingang ( niet ver van het kamp) reden we al de jeeps voorbij zodat we snel aan de safari konden starten. Na aanvankelijk weinig dieren te zien zie de chauffeur dat we ons moesten schrap zetten en zette hij een ware rally in naar een plek waar een luipaard gespot werd. Heerlijk om eindelijk een luipaard in het echt te zien :) Ook nadien nog heel wat andere dieren gespot met uitleg van de gids. Na de safari genoten van een lekker ontbijt. We hadden nadien nog ruimschoots de tijd om ons uitgebreid te douchen alvorens onze reis verder te zetten. Niets, het was helemaal perfect
• Yuuki (9/5): スリランカで特別な体験をしたい方には本当におすすめです。 - すべてが特別な体験でした。 ヤーラでやりたかった本格的なサファリを楽しみたい方は心からおすすめします。レンジャーの方もドライバーの方も、スタッフの方もみなさんとてもプロ意識を感じて素晴らしかったです。またスリランカディナーはオーガニックでこだわりを感じました。サファリは夕方と朝の2回は最低でもいくことをお勧めします。雰囲気は特別でディナーだけでも来る価値のあるステイでした。とても良い思い出になりました。友人や家族にもおすすめしたいです。 寝具はベッドに沈みがあり、夫婦2人だと少し狭く感じました。綺麗にされているのは感じましたが、わたしは少し寝心地の悪さを感じてあまりよく眠れませんでした😅ですが、外でキャンプをしていると思ったら十分だなと感じますが、潔癖の方やベッドにこだわりがある方は少し気になるかと思いました。シャワー圧はかなり弱かったです。
• Chris (10/5): -
• Pauline (7/5): Great experience for one night with room for improvement - The set up of the small scale camp is charming and camp manager Earl was lovely. We booked a half day dusk safari with a knowledgable guided and this was of course the best (but unpredictable) part of the experience. We saw elephants, buffels, many birds and even a majestic leopard. For our exit we arranged a taxi through Earl, who also brought us back to the meeting point, which is a bumpy 10 minute ride. We had thought to stay closer to the park, but it was still half an hour to the entrance of block 1. The tent is comfortable and even offers AC, but the mattressess are very tired. During our stay, the bbq was not possible and the dinner did not have the quality the price suggested (like crisps on a plate, kottu and ready made dessert).
• Barbara (9/5): -
• Jordi (10/5): Màgic - Tot. 10/10. Tot molt bé. Si hagués de dir quelcom potser el llit una mica més gran pero repetiriem tal i com està sense dubtar-ho.
• Irina (10/5): -
• Olivia (10/5): Amazing stay! - The Glamping facilities and food were great. The staff were so welcoming and attentive, they went above and beyond to ensure we had a great stay.
• Claudia (10/5): Unser absolutes Wohlfühl-Camp - Wir hatten im Camp das A-Frame gebucht. Es ist neu, großzügig, sauber und ruhig gelegen. Sehr netter und interessierter Guide, danke nochmal an Earl für die tolle Morgensafari und all das Wissen, was er uns vermittelt hat über die Tierwelt. Auch das Essen war sehr gut, wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und wurden toll versorgt. Alle sind super nett und freundlich. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen. Klare Empfehlungen! Alles war super
• Robbie (10/5): Exceptional safari experience - Camp Leopard has been the highlight of our Sri Lanka trip. Ruwan and the team were all excellent - so hospitable, friendly and knowledgable, and the camp setup is perfect. Their passion for what they do comes across with the excellent guided safari tours and the attention to detail at the camp. We would definitely recommend for anyone looking to do a safari in Sri Lanka!
• Benjamin (7/5): - Personnel très attentionné et serviable. Repas de qualité. Chambres vétustes (salle de bain notamment). Peu d’activité sur place (billard, fléchettes…). Pas de « bar » avec boissons alcoolisées (des bières ont été achetées pour moi, spécialement - ce qui a été une bonne chose)
• Maxime (10/5): Werkelijk ons meest bijzondere verblijf in Sri Lanka tot nu toe - De gids: Earl Niks, alles was echt geweldig. Van het eten tot aan de service tot aan de locatie en de hondjes.
• David (10/5): -
• Thalia (10/5): Highly recommend - Exceeded all our expectations. This was a super special glamping experience and safari tour. Earl was a fantastic and knowledgeable safari guide and we got to the see lots of wildlife including a leopard. The camp itself was very well equipped. Everything was great.
• Ursi (9/5): Abenteuerliche Safari, outdoor fire, super guides und Fahrer - Die Nähe zum Nationalpark und den Tieren. Auch im Camp selber gab es wilde Tiere nachts. Tolles Team, unkomplizierte Art Matratzen
• Tim (9/5): - The owners constantly made sure we were as happy as possible. All food locally made was excellent. We especially liked BuBu, the local camp mascot (a German Sheperd). Power outages which made the room impossible to be in. A young puppy nipped our legs upon arrival. Not an issue for us as we are used to dogs but people should be aware.
• Aikaterini (10/5): -
• Nidarsha (10/5): Unique beautiful stay at Yala - Our stay at Camp Leopard Yala was truly special. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel so welcome..kind, attentive, and genuinely lovely throughout our stay. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, generous, and beautifully prepared, setting the perfect tone for the day. The camp itself is incredibly unique, surrounded by nature and full of wildlife, creating such a peaceful and magical atmosphere. Staying here with my friends made the experience even more memorable We laughed, relaxed, and truly connected with the calm of the surroundings. Waking up to the sounds of nature and spending time in such a serene environment was unforgettable. If we ever come back to Yala, this is definitely a place we would love to return to. A truly beautiful experience from start to finish. 💚 Nothing
• Klaus (9/5): Camp und Safari jeden Euro wert 👍🏼 - Ein kleines Camp mit 3 Zelten und einem Haus im Zeltstil. Wir hatten ein Zelt und zwei Safaris gebucht. Ruwan der Campmanager hat uns an einem Treffpunkt abgeholt da das Camp im Reservat liegt. Wurden gleich von einer Affenfamilie begrüßt - tolle Atmosphäre mit Lagerfeuer beim Abendessen . Die beiden Safaris waren der Knaller - mit einem Privat Guide Sudheera der uns mit Begeisterung über jedes Tier und jeden Grashalm etwas erzählen konnte. Etwas teurer als die Massensafaris aber jeden Euro wert. Gerne wieder. Die Ausstattung ist zweckmäßig aber man darf keinen Luxus erwarten
• Lea (10/5): An unforgettable stay combining warm, heartfelt hospitality, luxurious yet sustainable camping in nature, exceptional fo - We absolutely loved our stay at Camp Leopard. The staff was incredibly warm, attentive, and genuinely caring, which immediately made us feel welcome and at home. The camp blends beautifully and sustainably into nature, offering many quiet spots to retreat and relax. The tents were very spacious and felt surprisingly luxurious for a camping experience, while still preserving an authentic connection to the surroundings. There was a truly family-like atmosphere throughout the camp, enhanced by the adorable dogs that belong there. The food was outstanding and exceeded all expectations. The safari was an absolute highlight – our ranger was exceptional, knowledgeable, and clearly committed to animal welfare, always keeping respectful distances and prioritizing sustainability. Nothing at all – we truly didn’t miss a single thing.
• Radka (7/5): - Uzka postel, uz opotrebene i poskozene vybaveni
• Ellinore (8/5): Lovely camp with great safaris - Great safaris and lovely dinner Leeches in the bathroom
• Linda (8/5): - Special experience sleeping in a tent/bungalow. Dinner was amazing and the people were nice.
• Murat (10/5): Einfach außergewöhnlich gut - Es war eine außergewöhnliche Erfahrung. Wir haben noch nie einen so hohen Grad an Professionalität gesehen. Das Team rund um Ruwan hat einen extrem hohen Anspruch an sich selber, um den Gästen eine bestmögliche Erfahrung zu bescheren - sowohl im Camp, als auch auf Safari. Danke dafür!
• Jessika (5/5): Empfehlenswerter Anbieter für die Safari - Die Safari empfanden wir als professionell, der Preis war absolut gerechtfertigt. Alle waren bemüht, trotz der schlechten Wetterlage viel zu ermöglichen - und das mit Erfolg! „Glamping“ ist zu viel versprochen und trifft es leider nicht. Wir empfanden unser Unterkunft als muffig und mäßig sauber. Während der Preis für die Safari absolut fair war, halten wir den Preis für die Unterkunft und das Essen für überteuert. Es ist einfach gehalten, was auch ok ist - dann sollten Preis und Wording aber nicht auf „Glamping“ lauten …
• Henk (8/5): -
• Sophia (10/5): Best Yala safari experience! - We arrived at the camp in the evening and it looked beautiful with all the lights, the room was really comfy it it has a really nice camp / jungle / safari vibe. We had an amazing 4 course dinner and got to try making hoppers too, Ruwan was a lovely host. We did the safari in the morning with Nikki and went through the less busy entrance to block one really close to the camp. We saw a leopard and sloth bear, elephants, water buffalo’s and loads of birds. Nikki is really informative and was a great guide, he knew so much! We also had a packed breakfast which was delicious! They also let us check out a bit later so we had time to shower when we got back. Definitely the best experience you can have for a safari in Yala!
• Kristiane (9/5): -
• Jan-Oliver (10/5): We will never forget our stay in such adventure and family atmosphere! Big thank you! - It was a unforgettable experience. We did two half day and one full day Game Drives. Our guide was one of the best we had in our safari career. Very helpful, experienced and friedly. The driver was also great. Food and tent: excellent. Extremly high hospitility! We can highly recommend such Camp! Fully satisfied.
• Mathilde (10/5): Séjour incroyable au Camp Leopard - L’emplacement de Camp Leopard est parfait, tout proche du parc de Yala. Ruwan a été un hôte parfait, extrêmement prévenant, passionné par son métier. Le repas du soir était absolument délicieux !
• Angela (9/5): Experiencia excepcional - El personal es muy simpático y amable! El conductor y Nickyy , el guía son super expertos. La experiencia del safari fue perfecta! La cena muy buena y la habitación, teniendo en cuenta que es un campamento en medio de la selva , tiene todo lo necesario. Realmente se respira paz! Demasiada comida! muy buena pero vamos a volver rodando a casa…
• Anna (10/5): Einmaliges Erlebnis mitten in der Bufferzone des Yala Nationalparks - Wir hatten einen wahnsinnig tollen Aufenthalt im Camp Leopard - große Empfehlung! Anfangs waren wir etwas skeptisch, da man aufgrund der Lage in der Bufferzone des Nationalparks vollkommen auf die Angebote des Camps angewiesen ist und die Preise im Vergleich zu den Angeboten vor Ort doch sehr teuer erscheinen. Allerdings müssen wir sagen, dass sie jeden Cent wert sind! Unsere Ganztagssafari mit Nicki war traumhaft! Er ist ein super erfahrener Guide, der jederzeit darauf bedacht war, dass wir so viele Tiere wie möglich sehen und dennoch das Gefühl hatten im Park alleine unterwegs gewesen zu sein. Nicki und unser Fahrer haben jederzeit die beste Entscheidung getroffen, sodass wir stets mit sicherem Abstand einen tollen Blick auf alle Tiere hatten! Trotz der eher niedrigen Wahrscheinlichkeit im Oktober haben wir in Block 5 drei verschiedene Leoparden, zahlreiche Elefanten, Krokodile und viele verschiedene Vögel gesehen! Generell ist die Ganztagssafari mit Frühstück & Mittagessen im Park sehr empfehlenswert! Auch das restliche Camp ist magisch! Wir hatten das Glück, dass wir am Anreisetag ganz alleine im Camp waren und das Abendessen an einem gesonderten Platz mit Lagerfeuer und Lichterketten stattgefunden hat - sehr romantisch! Alle Mitarbeiter sind unfassbar zuvorkommend und sehr nett und darauf bedacht, dass man einen einzigartigen Aufenthalt hat. Insgesamt einfach zu 100 % empfehlenswert!
• Larissa (9/5): Tolles Camp, Yala Park ist super, Leopard tatsächlich ganz nah gesehen :) absolutes Highlight - Camping feeling und tolle Safari guides -
• Mary (9/5): This is the only place to stay if you are visiting Yalla National Park - Everything was superb from the hammocks to the wildlife just metres away, the fire pit at night while we dined, the excellent safari organised by Camp Leopard. We didn’t see a leopard but the abundance of animals and birdlife made up for that. We loved it all
• Daniel (8/5): Un lugar para el retiro. - Nos gustó la tranquilidad que se respira, que si te gusta andar, tienes caminos cercanos al parque de Yala donde te vas a encontrar con un montón de animales que campan a sus anchas. Las tiendas tienen aire acondicionado y en general es una experiencia que no había vivido antes. A tener en cuenta: no hay nada cerca para comer, por lo tanto hay que hacerlo todo con ellos, no olvidarse de pedirlo.
• vlok (9/5): -
• Jayne (10/5): A fabulous camp and memorable stay - The location of Camp Leopard is perfect, as is everything else. From our arrival to departure the level of service, food and attention to detail was outstanding. We stayed in the new Chalet which was luxurious with home made soaps, shampoo, conditioners and shower gel. The Safari tours which were organised by Camp Leopard were also outstanding, we did a dawn and dusk tour on the same day. Many thanks to Ruwan and all the team for taking such good care of both me and my daughter. We will never forget our memorable stay and experience. Nothing
• Laura (10/5): - Amazing stay in nature, boys took extremely great care of us, with unbelievably good food. During safari we even got to see a leopard. Perfect!:))
• Livia (9/5): - Very cool Glamping and Safari experience!
• Axel Sting (10/5): - Everything! The manager is more than amazing! The team was so great! The Dog was so friendly And food was amazing to. Nothing to say and the atmosphere was peaceful. Is a beautiful eco camp! I 100% endorse people to go there if they do Yala National Park experience. Nothing
• Sarah (8/5): Great! - Great staff! The food is amazing! A lot of personal attention and just a lovely getaway overall
• Nikki (10/5): Geweldig verblijf! Als je naar Yala gaat hier verblijven. Je wordt behandeld als koning! - Ruwan de host. Hij was echt de liefste. Koude handdoekjes en welkomdrankjes bij aankomst. Na een lange dag safari hetzelfde. Het eten was geweldig, de service van het personeel was geweldig. Echt alles Niks
• Cecilia (8/5): Perfetto per una notte. - Camp Leopard é situato a soli 3km dal Yala national Park, é munito di jeep privata che provvederà a prenderti, una volta arrivato, dalla strada principale e a portarti all’interno della struttura e lo stesso farà il giorno in cui devi andare via. Il personale é gentilissimo. La colazione é abbondante e ottima, il pranzo é caratterizzato da una portata principale con riso e verdura di contorno e poi un dolce, lo stesso vale per la cena, caratterizzata da più portate. La tenda é molto bella, il letto comodo e il luogo é molto silenzioso. É possibile trovare dentro la stanza gechi, ragni o altri animali, che non bisogna uccidere, ma chiamare lo staff che si occuperà di prenderli e metterli nuovamente nel loro habitat.
• berry (10/5): Fantastische!! - Bizar mooie locatie met een prachtige glamping tent , waar alles op en aan is. Super vriendelijk personeel, staan dag en nacht voor je klaar. Maar die omgeving waaauwwww. Diner is ‘s avonds bij een kampvuur en smaakt geweldig. Safari met driver en gids, ontbijt mee voor in het park. Geweldige uitleg over alles in het park. Nietsbte melden. Alles was geweldig.
• Flore (10/5): Romantische slaapplaats - Meest romantische locatie die je kan hebben! Personeel is super super vriendelijk. Eten was geweldig, en ze willen alles voor je regelen. Dit was denk ik onze beste slaapplaats in Sri lanka. Niets!
• Connor (10/5): Outstanding Safari Experience! - Fantastic set up - they’ll sort out the safari for you and it will be an excellent experience - highly recommend! Very professional from start to finish with amazing local information. Safari tents are comfortable for your stay, they served us dinner and breakfast too - dinner was a lovely experience with the bonfire and sat outside. Safari was outstanding - Nicky was incredibly knowledgeable, very friendly and incredibly helpful. He made the experience so great, lots of stories and knowledge to share with us we absolutely loved it. We spotted lots of wildlife and did spot a leopard! Manage your expectations though as it’s not always possible to see them - just enjoy being out on safari spotting various birds and animals. It was expensive - the most we paid for dinner and some of the extras quoted were a high price - preordering a bottle of wine etc - safari is a high price but you do get an excellent guided experience
• Pia (10/5): - Große Empfehlung! Wir hatten 2 ganz tolle Nächte im Camp Leopard. ✨ Mit full day Safari, sehr leckerem lokalem Abendessen am Lagerfeuer & super gut geschultem, sehr freundlichen Personal. Bei der Safari haben wir Elefanten, Krokodile, besondere Vogelarten, Affen, Wasserbüffel und vieles mehr gesehen. Besonders gut hat uns der respektvolle Umgang der Guides mit Tieren und Natur gefallen. Keinem Tier wurde zu nahen gekommen und trotzdem - oder gerade deshalb - ein unglaubliches Erlebnis. ☺️👏 Auch ganz toll fanden wir die super liebenswerten Straßenhunde die um Camp aufgenommen und ein Zuhause gefunden haben. 🐕☀️
• Maria Clara (10/5): A magical stay in nature - We had such a wonderful stay here, it truly felt like a magical place surrounded by nature. Everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help. We enjoyed both lunch and dinner on site and the food was absolutely delicious, they also adapted perfectly to our requests. We also went on a safari with them, everything was perfectly organized and made us feel really well looked after. Even though we slept in a tent right in the middle of the national park, all the comforts were there, which made the experience even more special. There are also four lovely rescue dogs, very cute and sociable, and the staff made sure we were comfortable with them, assuring us they could be moved if needed. It was the perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. I would definitely come back and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in nature.
• Jonas (10/5): Ein ganz besonderes Erlebnis in und mit der Natur! - Das Camp ist mitten in der Buffer-Zone des Nationalparks! Es war ein einzigartiges Erlebnis mitten in der Natur in den super sauberen und komfortablen Glamping-Zelten. Die Mitarbeitenden des Camps sind sehr sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend, der Service ist wirklich perfekt. Die Organisation des gesamten Aufenthalts wurde perfekt für uns geplant, inkl. Anreise und Abreise. Es ist einfach selbst einen Fahrer bis zum Pick-Up Point zu organisieren (ebenfalls auch für die Abreise). Das Camp-Personal holt einen vom Meeting Point ab. Die Kommunikation im Vorfeld war sehr nett und schnell über WhatsApp! Wir empfehlen die Safari mit dem Camp sehr, da der Guide sich gut auskannte und uns viel Wissen über die Tiere und die Natur erzählt hat. War alles super!

• Birgit (9/5): Ruwan war der beste Guide, den wir bisher je hatten. - Der Service ist excellent, rund-um Betreuung durch die Angestellten. Anreise war unkompliziert, wir wurden am Treffpunkt bereits eine Stunde vor dem Zeitfenster abgeholt, weil wir zu früh da waren. Essen fanden wir sehr lecker, allerdings ohne Wahlmoeglichkeit. Wir ( Familie mit3 Kindern 19/17/11 Jahre) hatten eine Safari am Ankunftstag nachmittags und eine halbtägige am nächsten Morgen. Earl war ein sehr aufmerksamer Guide, wir haben insgesamt 3 Leoparden, viele Elefanten und etliche andere Tiere gesehen ( Block 5 und 1). Am Nachmittag des zweiten Tages waren wir mit Camp-Manager Ruwan an einem Fluss baden und abends mit ihm beim Tempel. Ruwan hat extra wegen uns uns auf seinen freien Tag verzichtet, um uns die Kultur seines Landes auf einzigartige Weise näher zu bringen. Das hat uns tief beeindruckt, es war ein unglaublicher Nachmittag und Abend! Danke Ruwan, für diese einzigartige Erfahrung, wir werden den Tag für immer in unserem Herzen behalten.

• Netanel (10/5): - Amazing staff. Number 1 in Sri Lanka. The best service there is, the safari guide was very friendly and pleasant, and the camp manager was amazing and gave us the best experience there is. They made a surprise birthday for my wife with a cake and music, and when we forgot a bag in the jeep he drove a special long distance to get it for us. Perfect staff for a stunning experience Nothing
• James (8/5): -
• francesca (10/5): Molto piacevole - Posizione, gentilezza staff, ottimo cibo Le tende e il bagno erano molto spartane per il prezzo richiesto
• Isabella (10/5): Se cercate un’esperienza a contatto con la natura è il posto giusto! - È stato tutto meraviglioso, dall’accoglienza dello staff, alla struttura, al cibo, al safari. Lo staff è molto preparato su tutto. Sono molto attenti ai dettagli. Era proprio l’esperienza che cercavamo. Completamente a contatto con la natura. Abbiamo dormito in una tenda che era completamente attrezzata e dorata altresì di aria condizionata ed acqua calda. Il safari è stato molto emozionante. Abbiamo visto molto animali, tra cui elefanti, coccodrilli e Leopardi. Nulla. È stato tutto meraviglioso

• Sweta (8/5): Good old Glamping- a bit pricey perhaps. - Eco/nature-friendly place, a rustic glamping experience. Excellent food. The safari arrangements were great, we did 2 half day safaris and the safari guide, Noyel was quite enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We actually had a great leopard and sloth-bear sighting ..It is purely a glamping/ safari experience oriented place. If you are staying at the camp, you have no other options for eating, other than their own kitchen. The camp arranges pick up jeeps /to from kataragama town, twice a day- no other check-in or check-out options possible. There were some glitches with our tent- out toilet door key got stuck and the door needed to be pried open. They do not have a common restroom at the reception for guests and until our tent/ toilet door was ready, we could not use the restroom. The water in our tent ran out when we came back at night after the safari, my son was stuck mid bath and there was a motor issue and it could not be fixed for almost 1 hr, he had to use cold bottled water instead-- brrrrrr. This is a personal observation regarding the camp manager, Rohan. The other guests with us in the camp were Germans and I am Indian. There were many instances where the host repeatedly kept declaring that they were very valuable and important- which I felt was unnecessarily discriminatory and weird, especially in front of other guests who are paying you just as much for your business.
• Aoife (9/5): - Great staff. All very knowledgeable. Great safari experience and the tent was lovely. Clean and comfortable.
• vgandiar (10/5): -

• Anis (10/5): Amazing - Amazing 👍🏻 Cleanless .Services , food
• Marcel (9/5): We had a great stay and safari tour.👍 - Nice and helpful staff. The safari was good, the staff did everything to spot animals. We have seen elephants, water buffaloes, crocodiles, dears, birds so nothing to complain. The dinner was also nice. The bed was little small.
