Offering a garden and garden view, Lake Front Yala Safari is located in Kataragama, 18 km from Tissa Wewa and 18 km from Situlpawwa.

we stayed here for two nights and also did the safari with them. it was a lovely place to stay, very clean room and bathroom with good air con! we were given passion fruit juice when we arrived, my first time having it, and it was delicious! we were cooked dinner both nights which was very yummy, and I was invited to help shape and cook the coconut roti, a lovely memory. for the safari the host also made us packed up breakfast and lunch! which she got up at 2am to do, so grateful and it was delicious. the safari was very good, we saw three leopards, solo elephants and an elephant family! plus crocodiles, many amazing birds, deer and water buffalo! we enjoyed our lunch by the coast. they also collected us from Ella and drove us onto hiriketiya, stopping to get us chai tea which was very sweet! for the final breakfast I requested the coconut sugar pancakes from the mum as they were my favourite!! she made lots and they were delicious and the last time I had them in Sri Lanka, so I was very happy! she also showed us their puppy and kittens which were adorable!! just before we were setting off the host called my partner over and whizzed him off on his moped to show him a giant squirrel that he had spotted, my partner had been wanting to see one the whole trip and we'd let him know on the safari, so he was beyond happy that the host enabled this! thank you so much, we had an amazing stay :)

    Good location to the yala park. Great host who arranged and guided us on an excellent safari trip where we were able to see a leopard and elephants from very closeby. We staid the full afternoon in the park and afterwards enjoyed an excellent dinner prepared by the host en his wife. Highly recommended.

    The hosts were absolutely fantastic, very warm and welcoming. Kapila's knowledge about the flora and fauna in Yala National Park is top level and we would highly recommend doing your safari with him. The rooms are very spacious, the beds are super comfortable and the hotel is in a very quiet spot so you are guaranteed a good night sleep. The garden is beautiful with lots of bird life around too. Highly recommend staying here!

    Great location, clean enough, when we arrived the markets were on across the road which was great. Host was very nice and helpful. Maybe not for everyone but you get what you pay for and we were happy overall.

    The host family is very nice. The young daughter speak a very good english and looks eager to train it and talk about their culture and traditions). The food I had was really good and they also greeted me with a fresh welcome juice. They let me help and Watch the dinner making and it was very pleasant. The rooms are big, very clean and Probably recently renewed (the a/c system seemed pretty new). The area is out of the city centre, but it is ist to get there in 20 minutes by walk.

    I loved the authenticity of the place and the people here. Chilled backpacker vibes. Roberto is a great host ensuring a very warm welcome to guests offering tea etc . Loved the rustic architecture , very much in tune to surrounding Nature complimented with the animals on site. Lodge is set by the river so you can go for a dip and cool down. And ample space for you to relax, read and do yoga.

    Very quiet place, hosts were really kind. dinner at the restaurant was tasty. We had full day Safari at Yala National Park and it was beautiful. Our driver Roschanne during the Safari was great, I highly recommend him 10/10. We also spotted a leopard at 5 pm. Roschanne was so nice with us.
