Kuma Safari Lodge, hotel in Udawalawe

Located within 5.5 km of Udawalawe National Park in Udawalawe, Kuma Safari Lodge offers accommodation with seating area.

The hosts were incredibly sweet and went above and beyond to help us arrange a fantastic safari experience. The room was very clean and comfortable, though the Wi-Fi was not working during our stay. The food on the first night was just okay, but the hosts were quick to adjust the breakfast to our tastes, which we appreciated. Overall, their hospitality made our stay truly memorable.

Mansala Safari House, hotel in Udawalawe

Offering a restaurant, Mansala Safari Resort is located in Udawalawe and provides a 24-hour front desk for the convenience of the guests. Free WiFi access is available.

- Very nice location and kind hosts (family business). - We very much enjoyed the safari, which was organised by our hosts. We did a full-day safari and enjoyed the tour very much. Because it was low season we had a driver and a guide who explained very well about the animals. Our impression was that both - driver and guide - very much enjoyed the tour themselves, drove very carefully and respectful of the animals in the national park, and were also amazed by the animals we have seen. After the safari in Udawalawe, we also did a half-day safari in Yala. It was special to us as we were lucky enough to see a leopard in Yala. But the driver and guide in Yala were only focused on finding a leopard and did not pay much attention to other animals. If you have only time to do one safari, I would recommend the Udawalawe national park.

Max Safari Villa, hotel in Udawalawe

Set in Udawalawe, 14 km from Udawalawe National Park, Max Safari Villa offers air-conditioned accommodation and a garden.

Great room with amenities like water cooker, fridge and hair dryer. Very clean, hot shower, good working air con. They gave me a room inside the house first but after asking gave me a bungalow without hesitation because I prefer some more privacy. Max is very friendly and helpful, they give a good price for the safari (although I didn’t compare, I have reason to believe he offered a very good price). The driver also serves as a guide a bit, I don’t think an extra guide is very necessary. He can also arrange transport cheaper then PickMe, which was very much appreciated.

    Friendly and beautifully run guest house perfect for visiting Udawalawe. Nature House surpassed our expectations - the terrace outside our room over looking the jungle was a real highlight as was the tasty curry buffet and breakfast. The owner and his son were great hosts and we would recommend this to anyone. They have a pool finished in 2 weeks too so will be even more of a top place to stay soon!

    Perfect location - 5 minutes from national park entrance. great host who really wants his guests to feel welcomed and taken care of. The food was fantastic, the pool was clean and there were not so many people staying there at that time,so it was quiet. Plus thing: there is one elephant coming really close to the hotel to feed,so you can see him from 1 meter distance :)

    Great location! Close to the elephant transit home 15 minute walk. Great host who offered me a cup of tea when i got back and some good conversation as well. Managed to set up Safari for me with top driver Suresh. Knowledgeable driver who had a crazy good eye for all animals. Breakfast was the best i had in Sri Lanka.
