The most beautiful family of hosts that went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. The rooms are brand new, very clean and tidy and well presented. The food menu was simple and the food incredibly tasty... and extremely good value! Organised a full day safari jeep at a fantastic rate for us. The hospitality can not be over-stated... absolutely beautiful family! Definitely recommend.

We had an amazing experience in Wikpattu Mooklan Resort! The owner and his son were taking care of us all the time and organized a great safari! It was a full day trip at a very affordable price, We managed to see 3 leopards, bear, elefant, crocodiles, tones of deers, and many, many other species of mammals, reptiles and birds. At night we could hear a lot of animals and it was an extremely peaceful time. The food was delicious and made with love. Absolutely recommended place!

We can a 100% recommend this resort for everybody. Stayed here 2 days and the personal does absolutely everything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. The food they serve is really tasty and there is a evening buffet that you certainly will enjoy. You can have a nice walk to create your own mini-safari. The owner, Roshan, is a really nice guy and helped us with everything. Booked an amazing safari as well with a driver who new the animals and their patterns very good allowing us to see them all. Nothing but praises.

From the first contact with the owner Mr. Kamal, until arriving at the accommodation where we were met by the manager Manju and his wife - absolutely everything was perfect. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner in the accommodation. The lady cooks deliciously and to order. We went with Manju on a full-day safari. There is 10 minutes to drive at the entrance of NP Wilpattu. At night, local farmers chase the elephants out of the rice fields. It's noisy, exciting and a great experience for us tourists (I believe it's not for the locals, I feel for them). Amazingly, tap water is drinkable!!!! The owner orders a tank of drinking water in the tank, which is additionally filtered! Congratulations! We regularly consumed tap water (for 3 days) without the slightest problem! Like at home :) If it were possible, I would give a score of 11 and not 10*. We are not backpackers and I would absolutely choose the accommodation again! Do not hesitate to choose this accomodation.

Isuru and Samadhi are fantastic hosts. From the moment we arrived they made us feel welcomed. They are very attentive and attended to all our needs. The bungalow is spacious, comfy and nicely laid out. The photos on the wall are taken by Isuru himself and are absolutely stunning, he’s one talented photographer! Samadhi cooked amazing Sri Lankan breakfast and dinners and had no issues making them vegetarian for us. We stayed 3 nights, booked a half day and full day safari through the accommodation and we loved every minute of it. Wilpattu is an incredible park filled with lots of wildlife. We also did the walking tour with Isuru and got to see the local farming/land practices and that was good fun, be sure to do it. Isuru and Samadhi are a beautiful couple and we wish them all the best in their new journey with Safaria Lodge.

Still under construction but did not affect our stay. Great location as it is only 10 mins to the national park entrance. But it is a fair way from anything else. We had the plunge pool room and it was perfect. Clean, comfy beds and spacious! Staff were helpful.

We had a lovely stay at Ceylon Resort. Our hosts and their family were very friendly and went above and beyond to make us comfortable. The cabin is lovely with clean facilities and in a good location close to the lake and national park entrance. The food was amazing and we highly recommend the full day safari.
