+We had an outstanding experience at this wonderful property just on the edge of the Yala National Park. The service was fabulous and we especially appreciated the insights and attention from Nishantha and our safari guide Taturanga.

+This was a very interesting stay in the heart of Yala- super close to the safari which is very convenient to get there at a good time. The highlight was the staff who were so helpful, kind and attentive, and they really accommodated all of our needs. I would recommend this just for them alone!

+For visiting yala nationalpark, yakaduru is perfect. The people at yakuduru are so friendly, the food was great and most importantly: Nishantha our camp host and naturalist was amazing. We learned so much from him and he answered all our questions on all kinds of animals and culture. He showed and explained a lot on walks around the area. They do a really good job here, care about the nature and animals and they go the extra mile for the guests. They can organize the safari including entry tickets and they have good reliable drivers and are on the priority lane at the entrance.

“This is true National Park experience. Family of 4 (kids aged 11 and 16) will remember their adventure at Yaladuru for a”
+What an incredible place Yakaduru is. So authentic, spacious, clean, huge focus on sustainability but also beautiful with lots of hanging basket lights and swinging chairs. Nish and Moorthy and team created the most welcoming and comfortable stay. As a unique experience a 10/10. You really feel like you’re in the wild. Having Nish on the sunrise safari really changed the game as it felt like we got a biology lesson on the way round and were able to spot way more than if we were on our own just being driven around. Sleeping in an open room with mozzie nets also fantastic , and prepared for us each night so we knew we were safe from bugs! Also the food - 10/10! The traditional dance show too was fantastic , at intervals throughout the dinner, which due to the small size felt like a family dinner rather than a restaurant. The extra fuss made over a family birthday was so appreciated 💕

“A special place with nature at it’s heart!”
+This place is an oasis created by beautiful buildings, landscaping and an authentic atmosphere from kind and funny people! We felt so at ease, ate so much great food and had an amazing time in Yala National Park. The Safari itself was excellent, we got in quickly to the park, our driver knew all the best spots and we saw two leopards! Special thanks to Hassan who made all the arrangements and made us feel so welcomed, and to Nishantha who knows everything and more about nature and made the experience feel both personal and insightful!
−Nothing, everything was great!
