The trip was incredible from start to finish! We were very warmly welcomed on arrival by Aaron who felt like a close friend right from the get go! He has amazing stories to tell and he and the team really go the extra mile to make your trip one to remember! The food was some of the best I’ve had in Sri Lanka! It was an awesome experience to stay in a luxury tent, with a veryyyy comfy bed, AC, warm shower, beautiful views outside with a plunge pool to cool off in! And the safari was absolutely epic - we learnt so much about all the animals, there’s so much to see and the driver was very respectful throughout! Would highly highly recommend coming here to experience Yala in the absolute best way!

By far one of the best Safaris. Accommodation was pure luxury. AC, hot water, really comfy beds, plunge pool with beautiful views and sometimes wild elephants pass by. Food was delicious - real 5 star. Safari trips were incredible, getting to see lots of big game. The ranger was super knowledgeable. The staff could not be more accommodating. We had the best experience with Ceylon Wild - Thank you and I can’t wait to come back.

The whole experience is just wonderful. Our safari guide, Arran, was super hospitable, and knowledgable about the wildlife. We actually got to see elephants and leopards during our adventure out in Yala! The food served were cooked locally and it was so good. One of the highlights include a chill night by the camp fire with drinks. What an experience!

Honestly the crew at Ceylon Wild go above and beyond. The accommodation is lush, so unique and the plunge pool is a fancy little treat. One of our party had a birthday while we were there and they went the extra mile to celebrate it, with a table and lamps set up outside for dinner, cake and drinks! Then the actual safari. Amazing. We were so lucky and our guide was so knowledgeable and kind and a great host. Would recommend to anyone that they come stay here!

Easily, the best glamping experience me and my friends have had. The food was amazing and nothing like that afternoon dip in our own private pool after a safari. The A/C tents were very comfortable and the bathrooms were fully equiped. Special thanks goes to Indika, Aaron, Tharanga and Chandre who guided us in the adventurous safaris and made us feel homely. Their knowledge of the wildlife is second to non and a lot to learn from. We would all definitely be staying with CWS again.

My partner and I have been to CWS before and loved it!!! The team are fantastic, the bungalows and food incredible! Arran and Indika are awesome at what they do, the safari with these guys is out of this world, they are so ethical you end up with beautiful peaceful close up sightings. They are a wealth of knowledge and you will not find guides the like in sri lanka. This latest trip we took friends who had said they would never go back to Yala because of how upsetting they had found the experience with other guides hounding and upsetting animals. Arran and Indika changed our friends minds very quickly and we now cannot wait to all come back! The conservation work Arran and Indika are doing is vital to Sri lanka and we love that they are trying to make the island a better place and train others to improve animal welfare.…
