Set in Tissamaharama, 1.6 km from Tissa Wewa, La Safari Inn Tissamaharama offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Featuring room service, this property also has a restaurant and a children's playground. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. A very good accommodation. We were very happy staying here. Very nice and clean rooms. The staff is very good. We came here by bus. They picked us up from the bus stand for free. We went on a very wonderful yala safari tour. We were given a very comfortable jeep and a very knowledgeable driver. We saw many animals. I want to say especially that we saw leopards. The next day we were given a vehicle to go to arugambay for a very low price.

The guest house provides certain units that include lake views, and all units include a private bathroom and a desk. At the guest house, units have bed linen and towels.

Both a bicycle rental service and a car rental service are available at the guest house. My hosts couldn’t have made me feel any more welcome. They are kind and generous. As a single female traveller I felt very secure in their compound. I strongly advice you book your safari with your host. He’s a confident driver with a keen eye for leopards. Don’t think saving money will serve you well, take a private tour. The guest house is situated close to the park and near to the road the dissects the park. Take an evening safari on the road if you can. The accommodation is very clean. I found it hard to leave these lovely people.

At the guest house, every unit is fitted with bed linen and towels. The host was incredibly friendly and helped us out with any matter we had and also organized an amazing safari for us. After we arrived he took us for a little bird tour, which was really nice. He treated us with a fresh coconut, fruits and little snacks. The hospitality was outstanding. The room and generally the whole property was clean and comfy. We felt really welcomed and enjoyed our stay! We can definitely recommend this awesome place! Thank you very much for everything, we will come back! :-)
