Best Place to stay in Wilpattu

I stayed here for few nights last January. Everything was perfect. Had a good time there, other than safaris they take us to walk near the camp. Its really good for watching birds. They provide a naturalist for safari and we saw lot of birds , deers and two good Leopards too. Food was delicious!

Very disappointed

Sadly the accommodation and dinner were the low point of our trip to Sri Lanka. Plus points first, the camp is in a great location, in forest, 3km away from road and requiring 4x4 for access. The tent is large with ensuite facilities including flush toilet. The organised safari was great and Nilantha really knows his wildlife. But, the inside of the tent was wet in parts, and the bed only half made. Dinner was awful, and expensive at $18! Each night it consisted of cold noodles or rice, with cold sausage and cold fried egg. First night there was a warm baked fish, and the second night cold chicken that was uncooked in the middle. After far too much discussion the next morning the cost of one of the dinners was deducted from the bill. This was booked through Booking dot com, and it is only after the non-refundable booking has been made that the cost of dinner ($18 per person per night) and safari ($115 per person) become apparent, at which point it is too late to change. This is not the luxury experience promised on their website, and hugely overpriced for the experience.

This is a primitive camping site. Yes the tent is large and there is an outdoor toilet and shower which is delightful but this is still just a camp site. No other facilities. There is no A/C and it can get quite hot in the tent. We had a wonderful candle lit dinner by the chef who also lit us a fire which was beautiful under the stars. Some holes in the tent need to be fixed due to mosquitos.

Very basic tent, but good food

First up let me say the evening meal was excellent, and served at a cute outdoor location. But the tent ... beautiful bright light in the toilet, dismal darkness in the room and bedroom - the photo showing lights strung along is deceptive. There were tabletop candles, but the manager refused to give us any matches (so, bring your own). There is not much wildlife at the camp, but you can go on a tour at extra expense.

Glamping?

We arrived late in the afternoon and were rushed off to do a safari in the park. By the time we returned for the BBQ meal it was dark. Two small candles were all the light we had to eat the BBQ'd chicken and salad - so we were unable to eat it. The tent's netting had several holes, so we spent the rest of the night fending off critters of all sorts - massive spiders, millipedes, flying God knows what. We were awoken at 5:30am after 5hrs sleep for a morning safari that wasn't on our itinerary. The bathroom was open to the air and the light been left on by the staff - so the mosqittos were awaiting a meal too.

Excellent location
