Yala Safari Camping - All Inclusive

超棒的酒店，酒店和雅拉自然保護區衹隔一道鐵絲網，而動物們卻沒有被隔開，酒店裡就可以看到許多自然界中的動物，毫無光污染的叢林中，夜空美得驚人……晚餐，早餐都非常豐盛美味，嚮導Achi帶着我們整整一天的safari，車技高超，所有的車看見achi都會讓路，讓他走在前面，這顯然是因為他尋找動物的專業度。老闆MAHESH相當熱情，主動幫我們拍了許多照片，照片水準遠超平均水平，可惜其他幾位工作人員的名字沒有留意，但他們每一位都非常友善，熱情，總之，這是我和孩子整個斯里蘭卡之行最喜歡的酒店，我兒子迫不及待的想再去！

讓人贊歎的營地酒店，去Safri也非常近，夜晚美好的星空和無處不在的小可愛（動物們）真是非常新奇的體驗，服務熱情又細緻。印象最深的是一個是Safari嚮導超級全能厲害的Achi（照片中在燒烤的），還有一位就是第一張照片上的侍應生，服務細心又體貼。總之，推薦熱愛大自然和動物的朋友們來。

服務很好，環境很一般，就是個大帳篷，想住酒店設施的還是別了，沒有熱水，沒有洗漱用品，會有飛蟲小壁虎入侵哦，親近大自然的體驗

服務超級好的酒店，餐食也很用心

We had the most amazing experience-words cannot quite describe seeing such magnificent animals in their own habitat. A huge thank you to Archi our incredible driver and photographer - you were brilliant. With your skills we were so lucky to see 3 leopards over 2 days and so many other countless animals and birds. Also to Pramod the chef who fed us such delicious food, Chamith, Sadarutan, Madava and Mahesh - you were all so kind and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much - this was an unforgettable experience.

A once in a lifetime experience. Dining above the trees and sleeping in the jungle. We loved it. The guides were helpful as soon as we arrived (our TukTuk got stuck in the sand so they assisted) and the welcome drinks and food were delicious. They also made some Simpler options for our children. The tent was very cool, with a mini hot tub in the floor. We did have some frogs in our room, but these were removed by staff asap. The location is breathtaking. Really peaceful and natural beauty. They also arranged a great safari for us with drinks and breakfast included The only thing to note (and at no fault of the hotel) is this was probably not overly suitable for our young children (ages 6 and 3). The evening meal was VERY late into the night and once it gets dark it’s very quiet and calm (we felt anxious to not let our kids spoil others evening as there is no music or lights just the moon) I still rate them 5 stars as for adults it’s a dream. Just be aware that for kids it’s an adventure but a late one!

We’re giving Yala Camping Safari five stars as it is excellent in its category. If you’re considering YCS it’s important to know what category this is. What you get with YCS is the best service and hospitality you can imagine, extremely talented safari guides (a huge thank you to Achi who drove us for both our half day and full day safaris), truly excellent food and an adventure that you won’t soon forget. We arrived around 1:00pm and were immediately treated to an amazing lunch of crab and 6 or 7 local side dish specialties. From there, we did a half day afternoon safari where we saw a jackal, monkeys, crocodile, elephants, water buffalo, dozens of peacocks (technically, peafowl), mongoose and a wide variety of other birds and creatures. Dinner that night was a barbecue out on the main deck…again, spectacular. Beer, wine and cocktails are included. Our next day started around 5:00am as we did a full-day safari. More crocodiles, elephants (including some spectacular close-up viewings), three leopards, numerous water buffalo, monkeys, birds of all kinds…the list goes on. The park closes from noon to 2:00pm, so everybody in the park goes to a beach area on the Indian ocean. YCS prepared a delicious lunch for us, which our guide set up in a shaded area. After re-entering the park, we continued until the park closed at 6:00pm, with many more fantastic animal sightings. Just an amazing day. If you have mobility issues or are super picky about food, this may not be a good choice. These are fairly basic tents, albeit with AC and ensuite bathrooms, located a few hundred feet down a steep rocky path from the main lodge area, and the entire camp is a 12-15 minute bumpy ride away from any paved road. The food is amazing (local cuisine, elevated) and YCS appears to be able to accommodate various dietary restrictions, but if you’re a burger and fries type person this may not be the right choice. Ravi runs the operation and his organization and hospitality is second to none. Highly recommended if you’re looking for an amazing adventure with memories to last a lifetime.
