    Fun safari, some improvements needed at camp

    Our tent wasn’t ready until well past check-in time which was challenging as there is nowhere else to use the washroom. We also missed the nature walk as the staff did not tell us where to meet. We were able to go on the evening nature walk but found it challenging to hear our guide as they took quite a large group at once (~20 people with one guide).

    It was a quick drive to the park and the safari portion was very good. They also served a lovely candlelit dinner that we really enjoyed.

    A lot of the food given to us was not vegetarian, we had enough to eat, but it was disappointing to be given meat repeatedly

    The staff were really friendly and helpful, especially Indunil. Organising safaris was really easy and they had an excellent guide. The location is excellent and the site itself is fantastic with lots of wildlife close by - including a loris!

    Not much

    We have a very nice stay at this beautifully done glamping tented site. I cannot say more about the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff, especially the front of house Indunil and even more especially their chef Chanaka. He took it upon himself to make us a special safari packed breakfast including nicely prepared guava for me when he found I liked it! The tents are quite roomy, clean and comfortable with a fan, light and plug in. Water bottles provided and flashlight for their night nature walk. The dining area is very romantic with bonfire and barbecue nearby. Individual tips are not expected but nice tip for the collective staff at checkout would be appreciated. If you wish to attend there is an evening talk and a night nature walk on the path surrounding the property. Each tent had a nice veranda with chairs and table which makes for a very enjoyable night under the stars. Bring mosquito spray, though we had no problems with them. As mentioned in a previous review their bathroom section is smallish butt efficient with power shower sink and flushable toilet. All in all we had a wonderful visit and can't recommend it more highly.

    It definitely felt more like camping than glamping, the beds weren't very comfortable and everything seemed a bit disorganised, the evening meal is served very late (to say you get up at 4.30 for the safari) and it was never clear what we were getting. Lunch was extra for the safari too. Not a huge issue but for the price I expected a bit more.

    The staff were brilliant and the safari was excellent, our guide was very knowledgeable and respectful of the animals. The camp is lovely and peaceful and there is a small bathroom with shower in the tent so you don't have to go out in the night.

    Good value for budget stay, but no more than 1 night.

    Poorly maintained tents and WC facilities.

    Location and staff made the stay worthwhile. A good promotional price attracted us but the budget tents are very worn, washroom facilities are not well-maintained and don’t drain well. We knew not to expect any luxury, but with the scorching heat of April, showers were a must, but unpleasant due to below standard facilities. The staff was very professional and accommodating. The night walk and dinner by the fire was the highlight.

    We had a 4 course dinner, but it was cold when served, lunch the following day was cold too. We were told to wait in the reception for the bush walk but then it was cancelled.

    It was a lovely Camp, Well kept and the staff arranged games for the new year. All facilities i klud og the restaurants were great.

    A bit overpriced. I recommend coming during the day so you can see the property in daylight.

    Well maintained tents. The safari I booked at the property was amazing, we saw 2 leopards. Our guide was the best and very passionate. They let me share the jeep with a couple, as a solo traveler I really appreciate that :)

    Tents are a bit tired. We were upgraded to a large tent which was fantastic.

    Great hospitality and fantastic food. Peaceful location in the middle of the countryside. Organised safari by the team was great. Would go back.

    It was amazing staying there! It's really close to the national park and the Safari is arranged right from the Camp with great guides! All the staff was very nice and helpful. In the evening there are free little walks around the Camp and the food was really good. It's a special experience to sleep in the nice tents outside with all the jungle sounds. Would definitely come back. Thanks a lot!!

    Some people already mentioned the price-quality. Room is good price but the food is a bit expensive but it was nice (3 course meal at night and breakfast some fruit, bread, snack and cake).

    Safari tents were luxury for tents, own bathroom and a bed with space to put your stuff. Staff was very friendly and it felt like an all inclusive stay, didn’t had to think of anything and safari was nice.

    Despite the fan, It was too hot in the tent for us to get a good nights sleep.

    Sleeping in a tent in the middle of a park! You have a spacious tent, with own private bathroom. You get spoiled by a delicious dinner by the bonfire and fall asleep to crickets during the night

    Big game is a very nice way of spending time in the theme of the national park. The safari tent was more luxurious than I thought it would be with a private bathroom and the bed was very comfortable. The staffs friendliness is of another level and the food was also really good. Since you are very close to the park the area is quiet but the team organizes different activities during the day. I also booked my safari via big game and the naturalist was very knowledgeable which makes the experience even better. I had a great time and would definitely book again!

    Way to expensive, especially the food during the safari and at the tent at night was not worth the money. If you stay here do not take the cheapest tent!

    The tent was not in perfect shape: zippers were old and didn’t work properly and the toilet kept running. Overal it was okay but for the high price we expect a tent in better condition.

    There are different type of tents, some clearly older and some more modern. Our tent was a bit old and the mosquito net had some he's. However when we told the staff, they fixed it

    Unique experience immersed in the nature. Food was very good and activities well organised
