Yakaduru Yala is located on the buffer Zone of Yala National Park. It's just 5 minutes away from the Yala National Park Entrance. Yakaduru is renowned for its architecture and tourism, where guest can stay in properties built by Mud and palm thatched roofing. Yakaduru Yala runs on renewable energy sources, and features free WiFi, on-site parking and a barbecue facility. We walked through bush areas and the sunset there was beautiful. In the evening, we had tea on Yakaduru rock with that stunning sunset. The night was calm and beautifully lit with soft, dark lighting. We enjoyed an outdoor BBQ by the firelight. The next day, we went on a safari in a Yakaduru jeep with a great guide who provided excellent explanations about the Yala area, Sri Lanka, and its wildlife.

He really made us feel at home, and went above and beyond with every little request. We’ll always remember his warm energy – thank you so much! Highly recommended to anyone looking for a welcoming and comfortable place to stay.

Located in Tissamaharama, 2.6 km from Tissa Wewa, New Cormorant Lake Resort & Yala Safari Place provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a shared lounge and a restaurant. The property is situated 24 km from Bundala Bird Sanctuary, 37 km from Situlpawwa and 4.6 km from Tissamaharama Raja Maha Vihara. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. Gem of a place. As mentioned in other reviews the rooms are basic BUT comfortable and clean. For the price they are more than perfect. The setting itself was wonderful - right by the lake, surrounded by wildlife. In the evening, the host took us by tuktuk/scooter for a free tour of the lakes where we saw varans, bats, many birds including two beautiful owls !, and even a (harmless) snake. I booked my Yala safari with the host the day before and we could tell that the driver was more experienced than others. We saw all the wildlife one could see in Yala - leopards, crocodiles, varans, many birds, elephants, mongooses and even a sloth bear ! Perfect place, I'm happy I choose it.

Located in Tissamaharama, 2.9 km from Tissa Wewa, Black Panther Yala provides accommodation with free bikes, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. The property is around 25 km from Bundala Bird Sanctuary, 37 km from Situlpawwa and 4.9 km from Tissamaharama Raja Maha Vihara. The accommodation offers a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, a shared kitchen and free WiFi throughout the property. Words cannot really express how kind and accommodating Nalin and his family were. They did so much beyond expectations to make our stay perfect. We had to stay an extra day due to sickness and from getting medication from the pharmacy, arranging everything we needed no matter what and just generally being very interesting and keen to learn about other cultures in a completely comfortable and non intrusive manner it was superb. Been to Sri Lanka many times and mat so many kind Sri Lankans but Nalin clearly stands out. The rooms were spotless, no smell of damp (which can happen due to humidity in some places), we had the room of AC which was lovely, but a family member had a non ac room which was comfortable with the fans provided. Food was superb and they will arrange ahead of any dietary requirements. It was an honour to stay there and have the please of such good hospitality. I can see why this is 10/10 and 5* on Google! Also ask ahead about Safari and what animals you want to see and the type of trip you want because Yalla can be quite hectic and Nalin will help a lot. We arranged a tour beforehand which was good but it would have been better to have had some local knowledge prior to this as the Safari was quite hectic.

Featuring a garden, terrace and views of garden, Udara Guest - Yala Safari is located in Yala, 1.5 km from Kirinda Beach. This villa provides free private parking, a 24-hour front desk and free WiFi. The accommodation offers full-day security, room service and currency exchange for guests. Udara, the host, was very kind and accommodating. I had many questions about good places to eat, the Yala safari, and more, and he patiently answered all of them. I stayed here for three days and two nights. On the first day, I had lunch and dinner at a local restaurant. Since my safari was scheduled for 5 AM the next morning, I asked Udara to pack breakfast, and they provided vegetarian burgers and sandwiches. Later, I ordered a vegetarian dinner with eggs as an extra, which was well worth the price. The taste, quality, and portion size were excellent for two people. The complimentary breakfast was also fantastic, and they packed another breakfast for my early morning safari. Additionally, Udara arranged transportation for my next destination at the same rate as the PickMe app. He also accepts card payments. Since most people visit Yala for the safari, Udara can assist with arranging Jeeps and entry.
