Located within 39 km of Kumbichchan Kulama Tank and 39 km of Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi, Kurumba Lodge provides rooms with air conditioning and a private bathroom in Wilpattu.

We stayed at Kurumba lodge for 2 nights and couldn’t fault our experience. The homestay is situated in a beautiful area of the national park, we were able to see so much wildlife on our doorstep. We had breakfast, lunch and dinner all made fresh by the family. The night safari that they took us on was amazing, we saw a wild fishing cat (very rare), elephants and crocodiles.

Situated in Achchamulai, Wilpattu Green Cabin features accommodation with seating area. The property has lake and river views.

Beautiful setting and lovely, comfortable rooms. We enjoyed delicious home cooked Sri Lankan food. Rishwan was a helpful host and arranged a safari at a reasonable price. We had to travel to the further gate due to flooding but it was worth it as we saw 4 leopards and a sloth bear, countless birds and other mammals in this beautiful park. A walk around the area surrounding the accommodation is well worth it. There is lots of bird life to enjoy.

    Susil was a great host for us. He took time to talk with us and tell us about the surrounding area and some of the history of Sri Lanka. Made us beautifully cooked homemade meals with traditional ingredients. Very kind man that made our stay an extremely positive one. Hostel is in the most perfect location literally metres from the entrance of the national park.

    Really lovely host, very helpful and caring. I also booked a full day safari with them, which I also enjoyed a lot. The food at dinner is exceptional. Maybe the best food I had on my whole trip. It is cooked by the host family and comes as a buffet of sri lankan dishes. The room is nice, clean and comfortable.
