Everything is fairly new. Large sitting area for chatting with friends. We went to Yala Safari with Udara, we liked that our crew did not rush, but captured the moments. Udara is attentive and sincere. Shares his knowledge about birds.

The location and the staff are incredible!! The team was very nice and helpful, Chathuni made us feel at home and Mark taught us all about nature and the park, it was just great. The rooms are very comfortable, equipped with private bathroom, AC and wifi. The place itself is great, you can relax there before/ after the safaris. Actually, they also organize the safaris, which is very convenient. We will definitely come back if we visit Yala again.

It sounds like a wonderful place to stay, especially for nature enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the biodiversity and scenic landscapes near Yala National Park. Staying at Podi Hoona Eco Bush Camp would likely provide a peaceful and eco-friendly experience, allowing guests to appreciate the natural surroundings and perhaps spot some of the local wildlife, including geckos, in their natural habitat. Highly recommended for anyone who looks for a wonderful wildlife experience….

Priyantha and his family gave us an experience we will never forget.The family was extremely friendly and hospitable and Priyantha and his son,Hansa,went above and beyond with their care for us. Communication after booking was excellent. As the location is off the main road and up a challenging but fun dirt track we were met at Yoda lake and followed Hansa to the accommodation,which is located 10 yards from the perimeter of Yala National park. As we were driving our rented Tuktuk,Priyantha and Hansa kindly drove us back to the local town and main roads at the end of our stay. We stayed 4 nights in an authentic mud house which is set in a wonderfully designed woodland setting.Rooms are very private,extremely peaceful and away from all the tourists. Priyantha provided plenty of excellent healthy food as and when you wanted it,you will not go hungry here.A fire was set for us to sit round every evening with the host providing authentic live music after dinner.Three of the healthiest and friendliest dogs belong to the family and will gladly lead you on the many walks available from the property. We saw an abundance of wildlife on the local walks,monkeys,deer,eagles,crocodiles to name but a few.Priyantha kindly took us traditional rod fishing,net fishing,to a secret beach where we were the only two people and were lucky enough to see an elephant very close to the beach in addition to a visit to a local monastery and local temple which had a unique twist.A full day safari tour was also organised by Priyantha with his very experienced and friendly driver,at a very reasonable price.We simply cannot recommend Yala wild house and farm high enough if your willing to embrace an experience never to be forgotten. Thank you Priyantha,Hansa,Loki,driver and family,you all went above and beyond to provide us with the most amazing experience.

We were only at the hotel for 1 whole day to go on a safari in Yala National Park, still, it was a very nice stay with a warm welcoming and smiling hosts. We got a nice room with air condition and when we were picked up the next morning at 4:30 am for safari, the host came out with breakfast for us which was very ice.

We stayed at Big Game safari camp for 2 nights, we had a very stylish glamping tent that we stayed in - it was very comfortable and immersive in the jungle nature. Big Game organised a full day safari for us which was amazing! We saw so many animals (tusk elephants, leopard, sloth bear, crocodiles, water buffalo, etc). They prepared great breakfast, lunch & dinners for us also & we really enjoyed our time at Big Game. Would recommend to a friend!

very nice location in the middle of green lush. The accommodation was spacious, very clean, had comfortable mattresses and was well equipped. even equipped with things as luxurious shower gel, shampoo and toothpaste. owners of the accommodation were very sweet, friendly and funny - they even made us a nice dinner last minute after a long day of safari. besides that we would definitely recommend their sri lankan breakfast, it was one of the best we had in 5 weeks of our holiday in sri lanka. thanks a lot for the nice stay ❤️
