With lake views, Nirvaan Safari Lodge is situated in Wilpattu and has a restaurant, room service, bar, garden, terrace and barbecue.

Well equipped tent, with comfortable beds and although no air con there was a large fan. We loved listening to the sounds of the wild animals birds and insects outside the tent. The hotel area is fenced off from the forest by an electric fence so no fear of animals straying into the tent at night. The staff were very responsive to questions before we arrived and helped us in organising the safari and our onward travel.

Set in Wilpattu, TEMBO Cottage Wilpattu offers accommodation with a year-round outdoor pool, free WiFi, a garden and a restaurant.

The larger triple room was very nice but the double room in the older block was small and a little cramped. The staff were very friendly and nice. The food was lovely. The hotel arranged the safari for us which was good value with a good driver. We saw lots of animals.

Set in Nochchiyagama in the Anuradhapura District region, Wilpattu Jungle Resort offers accommodation with free private parking. A balcony with lake views is offered in each unit.

Beautiful location around the lake. Our host made a lovely dinner in the evening. Also we got stuck with our TukTuk on the dirt road, but they came straight to help us out. Really excited about this spot!

The most beautiful location! Looking out across paddy fields. All we had to do was sit and watch the wild birds come to us. A very special place. Food supplied was really delicious, possibly the best breakfast of our trip! Staff were lovely.

    Very beautiful surroundings, great tents with all facilities and a very friendly and helpful staff. The naturalists are very knowledgeable and the safari was amazing with comfortable jeeps.

    The rooms were big, comfortable, clean and had good a/c. The value for money was superb in comparison to the price of other accommodation in the area. It is really close to Wilpattu National Park so is a great place to stay before a safari.

    The food and service at The Backwater's Lodge was exceptional and even though we missed our flight connection they rearranged everything without any issue. I recommend a swim in the river after a day safari!

    We really enjoyed staying in a tent in this small eco-lodge near the entrance to Wilpattu. The owner is an academic who is exceptionally well informed about the flora and fauna in the park - it was a great experience to go on safari with him twice. The tents are basic but comfortable, and the outside bathroom turned out to be much better than we feared! It is a very quiet and secluded place to stay. The food was also delicious.

    We had me of the best sleeps there during our whole stay in Sri Lanka! They have really comfy glamping tents and huge outdoor bathrooms. The safari was THE BEST and one of the biologists who runs the lodge accompanied us and told us so much about the wildlife.

    The host is a well known bioligist who build a few lodges next to the national park entrance and situated in the rice fields. Do not expect any luxury. The money earned go’s after costs back to nature preservation. GO HERE!!
