The staff at this camp are wonderful and really do their best to make you comfortable. Our guide/naturalist was very passionate and we saw a large variety of animals including 5 leopards, 2 sloth bear and 2 critically endangered black headed storks. The safari side of the stay was great. Unfortunately the actual camp was a let down. It simply... More

I was there with my team on the 27.04.13. Mahoora has an excellent well trained team to give you an adventures experience in Yala. The Tents are so clean and well arranged. It was the 01st time in Sri Lanka we enjoyed a tent experience in Yala. The food presentation is excellent and it is delicious indeed. Yala is a... More

We went to Mahoora Yala as part of a family tour and we can't say more than it was a five star service that made you feel like you were home from home in the bush. Camp accommodation was excellent and the canvas tent, with two beds, shower and outer living area were very good. Spacing between tents ensured privacy... More

We were here as part of our 10 day tour and so glad that we insisted our Agent to book this camp. Amongst very good reviews, we have read few not so good reviews about this camp also, and now wondering what those not so happy clients would have been looking for. We experienced much more than what we expected... More

If you are planning a trip to southern part of the Sri Lanka and has an interest in wildlife, we strongly suggest you to spend some days in this amazing place! The tented camp is located at the border of the Yala National Park which is rich of wildlife. The camp is built closer to the nature and it blends... More

We have stayed at quite a few good game lodges and I rate this Tented Lodge as one of the best place we’ve stayed. If you are visiting Yala don’t miss it. It’s our favorite place for a number of reasons, best being the team who runs it. We arrived quite late for lunch, but the staff were helpful, friendly... More

I was expecting a camping holiday with a great safari, and that is exactly what I got! I was upgraded to a tent with a bathroom which was very nice. The tent had a double bed with mosquito netting and a luggage rack. This is not the place to bring heaps of luggage. Electricity and hot water were provided during... More

This should be read against the background of being soaked in torrential rain for most of the 48 hours we were there on our 2 night stay. I have stayed in 'luxury' camps in Africa and by comparison, Mahoora has a very long way to go. The camp is now outside the park and this is a flawed concept with... More

We arrived at Yala after an exhausting but enjoyable trip around Sri Lanka. Unfortunately we only stayed one night. The staff were absolutely brilliant, very welcoming and efficient. The Tents exceeded our expectations and we left disappointed that we had not factored in a couple more nights to take advantage. Our two sons enjoyed their stay also and particularly enjoyed... More
