Fantastic little campsite in the middle of the Sri Lankan bush, only accessible by 4WD. Head in here and feel the serenity. With just the two tents it's a small, perfectly formed operation run by the wonderful host Nero, who not only looks after your every need but whips up amazing meals in his little camp kitchen, served on a table under the stars, with a bonfire to complete the magic.

Rooms were outstanding - spacious and felt like a home away from home. Beautiful pool. Staff delightful and went out of their way to help. The hotel organised two safaris for us. Food and drinks also extremely tasty.

The hotel was excellent. The pool like all the pools was very hot, not refreshing but huge and good to get wet and let the breeze slightly cool you down.

We visited Yala for two days (with two separate game drives - one evening and one morning one) and although we enjoyed the animals we observed, we did not have any sightings of leopards despite being the national park with the highest concentration in the world. But that is nature so we were just unlucky on those days. However, the most disappointing aspect of Yala was the sheer number of vehicles allowed into the park at one time. As soon as elephants or leopards are sighted, drivers communicate among themselves and vehicles all rush to the scene creating a massive traffic jams. This makes it feel very mass market and doesn’t seem very respectful of the wildlife

Terrible time. No wild animals as expected.
Terrible time. No wild animals as expected. Roads are all around the jungle which is pretty disturbing to the wild life. After all it is supposed to be a protected zone for wild life. Jeeps are crawling every corner of the territory. Amused to see all of that disturbing scenes in a wild life protected zone. It's like business zone. Poor animals.

I loved Yala.
I loved Yala. The number of different animals seen was slightly disappointing but apparently wash outs due to rain prevented us from accessing some internal roads. The sunrise and scenery were stunning. I would rate it as good value despite the lack of animals. The whole experience was wonderful.

The national park in Yala is beautiful however it is hard to drive around as the roads are poorly maintained. There is a large populatin of birds and i think this safari would suit bird watchers more than those who want to see the elephants. The 6am -6pm safari is too long.
Sigiriya is far superior when it comes to large herds of elephants.

The hike in the nature reserve was amazing, we saw lots of amazing animals and landscapes.
Were lucky and we were able to meet the tiger as well.
It is important to note that the trip should take drinks and food, the hotel staff where we were did not tell us the length of the trip and did not make sure to let us know that we should take care of ourselves.
Of course we were smarter and brought with us the necessary equipment ..
But there were those next to us who did not and that was unfortunate

We stayed at Laya Beach resort which was very beautiful and was very close to our safari's which made our stay even better.
The beach, however, was too rough to swim which was a little disappointing.
This is a great hotel and we had a very enjoyable 3 night stay. The location is excellent, less than 5 minutes from the entrance to Yala. The hotel is in a lovely spot - there is direct access to the beach and the pool overlooks a lake with buffalo, crocodiles, birds etc. The rooms are well equipped, a good size and very comfortable. Dinner is a choice of a la carte or buffet - the buffet food was excellent, very high quality and plenty of choice. The staff were great, very friendly and always smiling and helped us with a late check out.

The exceptionally nice and friendly staff and the close location to the entrance of Yala National Park made this stay close to nature very special. We felt very well taken care of and were very happy of our choice to stay at Yakaduru camp. Very knowledgeable Nishanta took us for a very interesting bush walk with lots of insights about local wildlife and community. The full day safari - also organized by the friendly staff - was full of wildlife sightings and definitely recommendable.
We had a high room with a nice view from our balcony, and could see for miles on the roof terrace. The room was spacious, comfortable, modern, well decorated, with a fridge and TV, and a lovely bathroom.
Buddika welcomed us with refreshing drinks, organised a fantastic safari, and was a perfect host.
Restaurants were within easy walking distance.
I highly recommend staying here - we saw more more expensive options around Yala, but I doubt they were as good as the Blue Sky Hotel.
One of the most unique and amazing properties I’ve been to in South Asia. Near the Yala National Park and having an amazing tour guides expect to see leopards elephants buffalos all types of birds and more… with an amazing staff super attentive, rooms to die for, clean spacious and fast WiFi. I will highly recommend this hotel for your stay on Yala. They even arranged for pick up at my Colombo hotel and back with a quick stop in Ella. It was wonderful trip
Dont book this hotel. Dishonest owner. Did not keep his promise n attached our WhatsApp conversation. I regret the choice of accommodation. The Wild Trails Yala & Wild Trails Yala by Suri are the same hotels. They don't have a water heater, n we had to shower in cold, miserable poor water pressure water n bed frame was broken n did not fix it. Mattress was placed on the floor. Overpriced with dated property
Have never seen alive trees inside room. Had feeling that I live in camping but with all modern appliances and city comfort. Very friendly and helpful stuff and manager, who made our stay more comfortable than we expected! Recommend to get complimentary round trip first to see places around. Take a walk to sand dunes on sunset, visit Kirinda beach and town and ask to rent Yala safari from hotel only!
it was a beautiful property with only a few rooms all at a high quality spec, rooms were massive with amazing views, immaculately clean and the staff couldn’t do enough for us, so friendly and helpful. Food was lovely (especially the breakfast) and only 15 mins drive to Yala park and easy to book safaris through the hotel. Would highly recommend and would return if we ever went back to Yala.
The hotel was stunning, the room was large with a/c and beautiful view towards the pool and beyond.
All the staff were immaculate, so friendly and courteous to us. They cook our meals to order, so fresh and delicious. They even prepared a packed breakfast for our early morning safari and waited with us till our jeep arrived. Absolutely recommended this beauty. Thank you.
This hotel is equipped with shampoo, shower gel, refrigerator,air conditioner and swimming pool.
The staffs are very friendly and helpful, They took me to see the nearby beach and the temple built in the rocks for free.very thankful.
