“Amazing Value Safari Stay”
+The staff were extremely friendly and had high standards of service and excellent attention to detail. They were very accommodating and helpful. The rooms were clean, comfy and stylish. The food was the best we had during our trip.
−The monkey didn’t be or pester us at all, but if you don’t like wild animals, give it a miss.

“Luxury tent accommodation close to Yala National park.”
+Lovely rooms set in natural bush surroundings. Loved the outdoor shower and the bed was comfortable. Staff were great and food was plentiful. Safaris were good and our driver did his best mad max style to get us a great view of the leopard we saw. It was absolute chaos but he did well. No complaints and a great way to see Yala.
−The short dirt road to the property was in terrible condition, given it seemed like a private road shared by a few properties filling in the potholes could have been easily achieved. No coffee or tea supplied in the morning safaris, snacks provided could be improved both day and night. A few biscuits and a bananas probably not cutting it for the price.

“If you are thinking of booking here - do it!”
+A wonderful boutique stay but has a real feel of being in the jungle/bush! We had a lovely stay, dining under the stars and speaking with the owner as well as two amazing gam drives where we saw pretty much every wildlife possible!
−The drives to get in to Yala National Park are a bit far, but that’s the benefit of it being quieter :)
+Bala and the team were amazing and made the stay. A great boutique luxe resort on a strong march to sustainability. Food was amazing. The safari's were excellent. Thanks. We'll be back with our families. ❤️

“Extremely disappointed given the price point”
+The room was comfortable
−Unfortunately, we left Leopard Safari quite disappointed with several aspects of our stay. While all of the staff were friendly and welcoming, there were many shortcomings that, in our view, are simply not acceptable given the price of over US$500 per night. For that rate, we expected a much higher level of quality and attention to detail. First, the food, although decent, was far below the standard one would expect at this price point. There was no menu or choice, and we ended up eating almost the same meal two nights in a row, which is not at all acceptable. Breakfast, in particular, was the simplest and least appealing we have had since arriving in Sri Lanka. Considering that Leopard Safari is by far the most expensive place we stayed, this was a real disappointment. Additionally, our room was not made up while we were on safari, and housekeeping was only done during dinner. This is not in line with what we would expect from a property of this cost and supposed standard. Beyond that, the overall experience felt far from relaxing. Throughout our stay, we often felt “watched” and were repeatedly interrupted for questions that could easily have been addressed at another time. This

“Nice but over priced for what it was”
+The camp is setup well and should be a lot more enjoyable than it is. The food while all very local and basic was amazing and the guides and general staff were lovely and accommodating.
−Advertised as luxury rooms, they were not remade daily or given turn downs in the evening. We had someone come in once during 3 days to change towels and make the bed. Food and service was very nice however for what you pay versus what you get for the price in Sri Lanka is extreme. Advertised as all inclusive but they very much make you feel like you can only have things when offered at certain times. Camp manager was very controlling of times and what people were doing and also appeared to micromanage the rest of the staff so they seemed rightfully abit unhappy. Game drives were nice but we saw very little during the hours we spent in the park.

“Magical”
+Superb rooms and food. Staff went above and beyond to make this stay unforgettable . Special mention to Noel and Don for making us feel so welcome. We saw every animal possible including leopards and sloth bears. The best was that the company is so respectful of the wildlife that they refused to embark on mad chases with the other jeeps to try and find animals . Don and Dilip used their expert knowledge to seek out animals without intruding on them . The hotel is the best safari lodge we have ever stayed in .
