Campsites in Udawalawe

We had an incredible stay here! It was our first stop in Sri Lanka, and such a welcoming place to land. Isuru was an amazing host -- he is kind and helpful. He would check in on us to be sure we had what we needed, and then leave us to enjoy the peace of the beautiful home. The food was amazing. The five curries for dinner was our favorite, and ended up being our favorite meal of our whole Sri Lanka trip. The breakfasts were also lovely, with homemade Sri Lankan pancakes, omelettes, and really fresh fruit. The cottage is in a very peaceful area, so relaxing to be in the middle of the jungle. We were thrilled to see peacocks out back one morning. The cottage is simple, but just as expected -- basic bathroom with shower, bottled water provided, really comfortable bed. We loved waking up to the view of the trees outside.

Rodney who was our host provided excellent service.

Superb glamping tent set up. Very luxurious and comfortable. It was huge! With two separate bedrooms and a little seating area in the front, very well furnished and exceptionally clean. Staff were incredible and very helpful, right from the moment we arrived they couldn’t do enough to help us and were extremely polite and respectful. The meals were exceptional and seemed to be conjured up from nowhere! They were served under the stars for dinner around a beautiful fire, which was so special. Then there was the safari itself, it was so magical seeing herds of elephants and their babies. Our guide and driver were so motivated to ensure we had an excellent experience and stopped at nothing to ensure this happened.
