We got a nice room with air condition and when we were picked up the next morning at 4:30 am for safari, the host came out with breakfast for us which was very ice.

Yakaduru Yala is located on the buffer Zone of Yala National Park. It's just 5 minutes away from the Yala National Park Entrance. Yakaduru is renowned for its architecture and tourism, where guest can stay in properties built by Mud and palm thatched roofing. Yakaduru Yala runs on renewable energy sources, and features free WiFi, on-site parking and a barbecue facility.

We came to Yakaduru camp and had breakfast with delicious Sri Lankan traditional meals. Before we arrived, we could plan everything, like what food we wanted and what experiences we wanted to have. Their contact lines were very friendly and helped us plan our stay nicely, so we felt safe coming here. We got to experience so many things, like visiting the chena, going on a Yala safari, having tea on the rock, going on bush walks, driving to the beach, and having a hoppers night. The staff was really friendly and always made sure we were comfortable. During our two-day stay, we had a good and comfortable environment. It felt like we were at home. So, thank you to the Yakaduru staff for everything, and a special thank you to the owners for creating such a good vibe for visitors.

However what made this one of the most memorable experience for us is the amazing and ever smiling staff right from the reception, kitchen, and room service staff. Their executive chef was always there smiling and greeting the guests which made this super special!
