An amazing and memorable experience
It was one of our favorite places and experiences during our family trip in Sri Lanka. Our tent was nestled in the natural habitat of wildlife and nature by the side of the seaside rolling sounds of the waves with respect to the wildlife as well. Their welcoming service and attention to guests with its heartfelt and kind hospitality where every guest is welcome and served as if they are the only ones in the sanctuary heaven is amazing. Even though it rained heavily towards the end of the safari and towards the evening dampened some of our plans. Nonetheless, they ensured we were all safe and taken care of with promptness. Safari was an amazing experience and Shani was an excellent ranger as well. Tharindu, the Front House manager was there to welcome to the end of iur stay and went out of the way to make sure we were all taken care of. The entire team which takes them all to offer a great experience indeed assured us of such a wonderful and an amazing stay. It was a memorable stay! So looking forward to next time and our best wishes to all of them.

We really enjoyed our 2 night stay, rooms were spacious and nicely appointed. We enjoyed the pool and the safaris organized by the lodge, who supplies rangers in addition to drivers in the safari vehicles. We opted to add an optional safari to increase our chances of seeing the elephants and leopards. Excellent staff, Sasha was very helpful, Venura in the restaurant was great and so was our Ranger Amida.
