We stayed at Camp Leopard - Yala for one night and it was a very exceptional experience beyond our expectations. The staff was very friendly and especially Chatu consistently made sure we were comfortable at any time. We booked an afternoon safari with them and we got very lucky with seeing a lazy leopard, huge tusker, lots of beautiful birds and so on. We got picked up by Anjallee when we arrived, she was also the safari guide, you can notice how experienced she is. The owner Marc is one of these people that have this amazing positive energy, he is very passionate about what he is doing and you can see that everyone who is working with him is putting a lot of effort in this place as well. For the four course dinner they set up a lovely decorated table in the garden with lots of cozy lightening and next to the fire place. We will definitely send our friends here and will hopefully come back some time!

This is a very wild house. Very kind owner. Do not expect a wifi. Rooms are nice, clean, with animals in it (gheco). Meals are very good, owner is a good chef.

The entire team of staff were absolute stars! They messaged us ahead of check in for some final arrangements. Upon arrival, the check-in was quick and the brief was easy to comprehend. We checked in at 3pm and got to do the complementary afternoon bush walk with Malik (and the other kind gentleman I forgot his name). The tent and the surroundings were clean. I loved the sustainability concept. Water is available in a dispenser at reception and the room water bottles are made of glass. Tea and coffee with milk were also free anytime of the day. The playgrounds were nice and big and a couple of kids played cricket freely. They have lockers at the reception to keep your valuables. Again at 9 pm, we went for another complementary bush walk where we saw tarantulas and other nocturnal insects and birds. In the morning, we went for a safari but didn't know that it would extend slightly past the checkout time. The duty manager was kind to us and let us pack our things in no rush. He offered tea and coffee as we waited for our tuktuk which his team ordered. Also..When we checked out, my friend had forgotten her hair clip in the tent and one kind gentleman (one of the housekeeping staff I presume) ran after our tuk tuk to give it to us :) I recommend this place to everyone for an authentic camp experience!!

Before even arriving at mahoora yala safari we were added into a WhatsApp group where they helped us arrange transport to Mahoora from Ella and from the safari to Mirissa! On arrival we were greeted by porters who carried our bags to and from tent (I use the word tent very lightly) were brilliant as the rain was intense when we arrived. The trails to our rooms were lit with little fires which was a beautiful touch and really very helpful. The staff were very polite and professional. Tea and coffee facilities and chill area were great. The candlelit dinner was delicious and plentiful. Unfortunately the night walk was called off due to severe and persistent bad weather but the tent are so luxurious it was a welcome rest in our accommodation listening to the rain and nature around us. Brilliant to read about the eco-friendly initiatives they take such as sourcing food locally, composting all organic waste and minimising plastic use. The safari was out of this world and so well organised. We had a jeep to ourselves which added to the experience so much. Highly recommend booking accommodation and safari with Mahoora!

Staying at this treehouse was the best decision we made for our Yala safari trip! It felt like living out a childhood dream—sleeping high among the trees in a cozy, clean space with everything we needed. The property is huge and full of charm: a beautiful BBQ spot by the firepit, a swing made from a tree trunk, and torch-lit pathways perfect for evening walks. The safari experience began right at the location—just outside the grounds, there’s a small watering hole where animals come to drink! The host was incredibly kind and helpful—he arranged our transfer, cooked delicious meals, and made sure we lacked nothing. The only minor downside was that the only power outlets were in the host’s house, but we managed just fine with power banks. A few extra tips: - The shower is outdoors (summer-style), but in the Sri Lankan heat, that’s actually a plus! - Bring cat food—there’s an adorable little cat crew here. - Book at least 2-3 nights; we didn’t want to leave! With only a few treehouses (I think three, maybe more being built?), it’s great for small or large groups. One of the most unique and atmospheric places I’ve ever stayed—highly recommend!

This is glamping at it's best. It was perfect for what we wanted. Very comfortable bed in a large tent in a private setting, outdoor ensuite toilet and shower, dinner arranged by the fire and under the stars, and an completely enjoyable afternoon safari with a knowledgeable biologist who loved to answer all our questions.

The location is wonderful at the dune and right next to the sea. You can fall asleep to the sounds of the waves and nature. The property is not huge with only four glamping tents and you feel very secluded and private with the greeneries. The food at the property is also amazing! The curd made by the team was so delicious! The team is so kind and helpful. Especially Rimesh who took care of us so well during the stay and also during our full day safari. His knowledge of Sri Lankan animals and birds as well as his great personality has brought us a wonderful experience in Yala national park. We would definitely recommend nature lover to stay at this property as it really gives you a unique experience.
