Noel Rodrigo’s Leopard Safaris

Spacious mobile tents are available at the Yala and Wilpattu campsites and there’s a choice of double, twin, triple and family options. The tents have king-size or twin beds, jungle-view living areas with chairs, outside there’s a separate bathroom area which has an open-air hot/cold water shower, and a private sit-down toilet is attached to the living area of the tent. The Yala camp also has two luxury lodge tents which are inspired by African lodges and are ideal for guests who are looking for a more luxurious camping experience. The luxury lodge tents have a romantic king size four-poster bed, en-suite bathroom with hot running water, plus a private access path and private deck.

Common areas at the camps include a lounge tent furnished with comfortable chairs and cushions, and a kitchen where you can join hands-on Sri Lankan cookery demonstrations. The Yala site also has a saltwater eco-pool where guests can refresh themselves after game drives in the national parks. All meals, BBQs and snacks, alcoholic beverages, game drives accompanied by a wildlife specialist and entrance fees to the national parks are included in the rate.
