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

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

We were at yala mahoora camp before going to Colombo for the final night of our 14 day tour. Mahoora Yala staff had a challenge in making us happy as we had already stayed two nights in Wilpattu. I must say that they did it perfectly well. Our Tent was really comfortable. It exceeded our expectations, with regard to the... 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
