We spent two nights in this little resort at a lonely beach right next to Yala NP. We just wanted to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. You can stroll along the long beach, collect shells and watch the sea birds. The owner Hansa and his assistant and cook made us feel very comfortable and served us delicious meals and great breakfasts with big fruit plates, once even the Sri Lankan style breakfast. The curries and the fish dishes were outstanding and very tasty! It was a three-course meal every evening cooked just for us! The price for these meals was absolutely okay for us. Hansa is a very knowledgeable person who can tell you a lot of interesting things about life in Sri Lanka if you ask him. We especially enjoyed sleeping outside on the big porch where there are three beds to relax in during day and night. The unforgettable highlight of our stay, however, was watching an elephant at about four o’clock in the morning, eating some leaves from his favorite tree next to the main house and then passing silently by the veranda where we were breathless (and a little nervous) onlookers!

We had an amazing time at the camp. Staff was incredibly welcoming and helped a lot already with planning the whole trip, including arranging pickup and drop off after the stay and arranging a safari day trip. They were very flexible especially regarding our kids wishes and changes in plan from our side. We all loved it and will definitely come back again.

Lovely friendly staff on arrival who explained about the property and facilities. The accommodation was excellent, very clean with everything needed for a night’s stay. The two fans in the tent were much needed due to it being very hot and humid Booked the evening meal and early morning safari the next day. The food was delicious and eating outside was a lovely experience, especially gazing up to see all the many stars. All staff very attentive and a good choice of food and drink.

Everything! We absolutely loved our stay at wild culture. The hotel is stunning, food was great, the staff were incredible and there was a load of small activities to do just in case the safari and pool weren’t enough. The papaya juice on arrival was our favourite one of the holiday. So pleased we booked here it was a highlight of our trip.

Our favorite stay and experience in Sri Lanka! From the warm welcome with a fresh drink to the friendly, attentive staff, everything was wonderful. The accommodation was excellent, clean, and charming, with a delightful outdoor shower. The food was delicious, offering a wide selection for lunch and dinner. We also loved the walk around the bushes with the hotel’s ranger.

Yakaduru is the best safari and camping place. You can reach the camp easily from the main road using any vehicle. The accommodations are good and offer a unique village-like experience. The safari is excellent, and you can request specific things you need. They arranged our food as we requested, packing it for our safari trip. The stay was comfortable and friendly. Initially, we only planned to go on the safari, but we also enjoyed a BBQ night, a 2-hour bush walk, and a beach drive. It was a great experience!

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 ❤️
