Backwaters was a lovely spot on the doorstep to the western gate of Wilpattu. They organised a game drive for us (where we saw lots), a river trip and boat ride to our next destination. The rooms and grounds are full of nice, environmentally friendly touches, and the meals are great. Since the centre of the park is a little ways from this gate, a full day game drive turned out to be better than a half day - and allowed usto see lots of elephants at the end of the day.

Excellent location, few steps from the gate of the National Park! Room was very comfortable and very clean. Bed was super comfortable too and mosquito net provided. Air con was a welcome relief from the heat. Bathroom was also spacious and clean, hot water was great. The owner was the sweetest man, his nephew messaged to ask if I wanted dinner, I declined, but the owner knocked on my door to give me fruit and ice cream so I wouldn’t go hungry at night. So sweet! His nephew also provided me with a welcome drink and even took me on the safari. Highly recommend doing the safari with them, they were the most affordable and they really considered what animals I wanted to see and tried their best to find them. The breakfast, lunch and snacks were so good! I was very well fed! They were very accommodating to me and really put in effort to help me when my card had issues. I will definitely stay with them again.

Just about 100 meters from the entrance to Wilpattu wildlife national park. The owner is and experienced tour guide and happily will tell you about the wildlife to be found, both in and out of the park. Just by the entrance to the park is a trail going around a beautiful lake where families come for a bath and swim. We were warned not to not to walk around outside after dark to avoid unpleasant encounters with wild animals. I would defintely go back there to stay if I am in the area.

Green Sapphire is in a great location on the access road to Wilpattu. There are lots of little shops selling snacks and things along that road too. It is not isolated. It is easy to find, on a good, sealed road. The place is kept immaculately clean. Dylan (the main host) is very responsive and helpful and will sort out whatever you need. He also provided plenty of food as well as binoculars, a tripod and a lens for mobile phone cameras Aircon was good and needed

Susil was a great host for us. He took time to talk with us and tell us about the surrounding area and some of the history of Sri Lanka. Made us beautifully cooked homemade meals with traditional ingredients. Very kind man that made our stay an extremely positive one. Hostel is in the most perfect location literally metres from the entrance of the national park.

Great location when visiting Wilpattu NP for safari. Owners where super friendly! Food, both breakfast and dinner, where home cooked and diverse. Bed was comfy, musquito net and ac in the room. The guesthouse is close to the Wilpattu entrance and easy to reach by road. Don't be surprised to see an elephant walking past the guesthouse. There is a lake near the place where you can walk and watch some wildlife as well. Owner has his own jeep and can arrange safaris for a fair price.
