The little house was great! Very spacious and with beautiful bathroom. Feld very private! We also ordered dinner barbeque – great experience that we suggest. The host was very helpful – organising our safari and also helping to get to public bus t continue our trip to Weligama.

Wow, what a special experience! The accomodation: The accomodation was located in the middle of the jungle with lots of space, a little lake and a fantastic rock to see the stars during the night. At the rock, the host arranged a campfire. Together with the fantastic noise of the jungle, this was breathtaking moment. By the way: the host offered us, next time we visit, we can sleep on the sun warmed stones outside and watch the stars😊 The room is very simple, with lots of space and a veranda. There are mosquito nets at the bets (didn't needed them, as we had no problems with mosquito). We arrived with the scooter, which is a bit tricky to find as the road, after a few days of rain, was more for the advanced riders. Important: take the road from the south (coast side). It's the road to the yala national park main entrance. At km09 sign, take the little path to the left (there is a stone marked with "yala wild house"). But the host is willing to help. There is no constant electricity at the camp. They are running everything with solar and partly a generator. So it's good to have a charged power bank as a backup. The host: we ordered a dinner for the night of arrival and it was fantastic. Rice, beans, herbs, and a lot of ingredients are home grown. Typical sri lanken curry. The host is running business with his family. They've just startet the business in September, and he is so pleased to talk to foreigners, get tipps and grow an income for his family. As he is a seasonal safari driver, living in this hidden area for decades, the host has a perfect education about flora and founa, wildlife, herbs and natural medicine. He told us about the challenging life in the jungle, growing plants and living with the Elefantens that trying to steel the harvest (now a days, they have electric fence around). In the morning, we were picked up on the exact time for safari, as the host double checked everything the night before.

Everything is fantastic! We stayed here for two nights while going on safari in Yala with the all inclusive package. The staff at the Lodge were wonderful, and gave us everything we needed. The meals were delicious with lots of different menu options to choose from. The room was clean and comfortable with good aircon. The pool was also great. The perfect place to stay in Yala!

I have been to Sri Lanka three or four times, and when I come, I mostly stay in places connected with nature. Really, this place is very beautiful, and no matter how hot it was, it didn't feel like it inside this room. Here is a place of amazing beauty combined with a real jungle-like environment. I highly recommend this place to anyone. This is the place that provided the best service at the lowest price among the places I have visited in Sri Lanka. The staff was very close to us and provided good service. I highly recommend it as the only place that gave the best service for the lowest price.

The staff was perfect, I can only say that the experience was perfect. We were there for a night to attend a safari. We asked the staff a day before, he managed to do it, they book online ticket for us so it’s was faster than the other jeeps. The dinner and the breakfast under the tree is amazing and beautiful ! If you want to live a real safari experience this is the lodge ! We are two French people and we can guarantee that the tent is clean, AC helps a lot and the shower is beautiful 😍 Thanks again for your kindness !

The perfect place for an authentic safari glamping experience - sitting out under the stars at night and listening to the sounds of nature. The lodge is run by a lovely family who are friendly and professional. They also cook delicious food so I highly recommend having a candlelit dinner at the lodge!

Beautiful, comfy and spacious safari tent. Lovely outdoor area with a real safari feel. Amazing food served under the stars each night. We went on a safari organised by Ranakeliya lodge and owner Thisara joined us which was a pleasure and great experience. 100% recommended this place

We stayed in the tented lodge for one night. The lodge is amazing. It is beautifully built, very clean with mosquito nets on every entrance and window. The open air bathroom rounded up the glamping experience. There is electricity and even wifi in the tents. We booked two safaris and one starlight BBQ. The safari organisation went smooth and the guides were really good. The dinner was outstanding and one of our highlights of the whole vacation. The owners are super friendly. Would definately recommend!

This lovely lodge was like your own little house. It was near to the owners house so you felt safe but had a lovely rustic feel with lots of nature surrounding you. Very clean and good size bed. Air conditioning was great. Family and owner were extremely friendly and welcoming. They cooked amazing authentic food. The bbq under the stars was a fabulous touch. Great proximity to Yala National park for a safari. The lodge arranged everything.
