Big Game - Yala By Eco Team

Great glamping site with a brilliant safari trip. Ask for MJ to guide you in the park, he was excellent - knowledgeable, engaged and discreet. It rained heavily while we were there but it didn’t dampen our spirits. Highly recommended!

Manager Nalin and his team left no stone unturned to make our stay a comfortable and memorable one .It’s the fasting season and all arrangements made to make fast in the early hours of the morning with Micheal at 4am in the morning. 4 beds tent.

Wow, what an incredible experience. We booked a private safari with our stay at Big Game Yala and the entire experience was excellent from the moment we arrived. The check in was in a military style tent, and we received a friendly welcome. Our tent was neat and I couldn't believe contained its own private toilet and a shower with hot water!! We got a driver and guide in the safari for just the 2 of us, and they were fabulous at pointing out animals. The same guide took us for a nightime walk, as well as a morning walk to see more of the local wildlife which was included in the cost. On the safari we saw a leopard, several elephants, mongoose, deer, monkeys, exotic birds, hares, crocodiles, and more. Dinner was served as if it was a five star restaurant but in the open under the stars, and each table had its own candle to see by. It was a 3 course meal which was delicious! And in the trees around us were fireflies. It was so cool. They also provided teas and coffees and breakfast. The staff were so nice and made sure we were comfortable. I'd highly recommend Big Game Yala! It was our favourite experience during our Sri Lanka trip.

Extremely happy with the stay here. This is an authentic jungle camp experience following eco-tourism guidelines. The tented rooms are simple but very comfortable and all meals served were delicious. The best part of this camp are the staff - everyone is so attentive (asking about food preferences) and hospitable. The safaris organized (with guides) were very good. All in all, go for this experience - you will not regret it. Some things to take note of: the camp is situated 15-20 min from the National Park gate so it's a bit interior. The WiFi connection is less if you're someone who needs it badly but phone signal is fine. If travelling as a family of 4 adults, recommend taking 2 separate tents versus a family tent. A family tent for 2 adults and 2 children is fine.
