Yala National Park: Sri Lanka’s "Mini Africa"
Nestled along the southeastern coast where the scrub jungle meets the Indian Ocean, Yala National Park stands as Sri Lanka’s premier wilderness sanctuary. Often described as a “mini Africa,” it offers a rare, immersive look at wildlife roaming freely in their natural habitat.
Yala is most famous for its “Ceylon Big Five,” which includes the elephant, sloth bear, water buffalo, wild boar, and the leopard; notably, Yala boasts one of the highest leopard densities in the world, making it arguably the best place on Earth to spot these elusive predators.

Pathum, our driver, was fantastic, he was so knowledgeable about the animals in Yala and tried his best to ensure we got to experience the best of Yala National Park! We were lucky enough to spot a leopard on both drives thank you Pathum!
Jasmina
We were in a few cities before them and they can’t compare to this proprety and keep in mind you are in the middle of nowhere. Also special shoutout to our safari driver (unfortunately we didn’t remember his name) we had a blast!
Elizabeth
We ate our breakfast on the safari, prepared by Goshi and his team. They were very accommodating to our children’s food likes/dislikes. We are delighted we chose Wild Trails for our safari experience.
Mandy
Perfekte lodge im Dschungel, umgeben von Vogelgezwitscher,Sattem Grün und sehr freundlichem Personal. Die Safari Tour war auch super 🙂
Montse
Nos alojamos en una de sus tiendas en medio del bosque. La experiencia fue fantástica! Nos prepararon una cena con comida típica de Sri Lanka buenísima y un desayuno por la mañana súper rico.
Emma
We were lucky enough to see a leopard and lots of another animals. The lunch provided was very good and the driver set up a nice picnic spot by a river. They also provided us with plenty of water.
Monice
We booked a full-day safari with Wild Trails by Suri as well. The driver had an incredibly sharp eye and spotted plenty of wildlife, and was an excellent driver too. Overall, I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a true wildlife, jungle, yet comfortable luxury experience.

Wir waren mit zwei Kindern im Wild Camp und haben jeden Moment genossen. Schon beim Ankommen spürten wir die herzliche Atmosphäre und die besondere sri-lankische Gastfreundschaft. Warmes Willkommen und großartige Hilfbereitschaft, was uns sofort zuhause fühlen ließ. Köstliche lokale Küche – reichhaltig, Sri Lankesische Gerichte mit tollem Geschmack. Aufmerksames Team, das jeden Wunsch ernst nimmt. Apartment mit perfekter Mischung aus Komfort und Natur (Zeltfeeling, aber genügend Platz, Betten, Dusche Sanitär alles top).
Vivien Stecher
Tolles feeling! Wir wurden sehr freundlich empfangen und durch den Manager begrüßt. Zum Abendessen gab es ein Menü aus Vor-, Haupt- und Nachspeise, welches uns gut geschmeckt hat. Unser Zelt war toll! Sehr gemütlich mit allem, was man benötigt. Auch unsere Safaris waren top organisiert mit einem tollen Fahrer, der uns direkt an der Unterkunft abgeholt hat.
Es wird vor Allem Wert auf einen guten Service gelegt.

Het personeel is ontzettend vriendelijk! Ze staan constant voor je klaar. De safari was super goed en we hebben alle dieren kunnen zien. De gidsen zijn ervaren. De luipaarden waren een hit, waardoor daar veel jeeps stonden, maar dat komt omdat iedereen ze wil zien. Als je eenmaal weer weg bent bij de hotspot zie je bijna geen jeeps meer. Er werd ook rekening gehouden met onze kinderen van 3 en 4 met het eten.
Wijitha
We visited Sri Lanka from the US. We wanted to spend, at least a day, out side of the city. We booked the Wild Trails Yala by Suri. From the moment we arrived at the place, Mr. Uditha and his team took great care of us. The location was perfect. Unlike the camp sites or camp grounds in the US, these camps had all the facilities including a nice rooms, separate bathrooms, individual pool and a nice dining room. Dinner was under the stars and by the bonfire as was promised. We had the privilege to meet Mr. Soori personally. He is a softspoken nice gentleman. It is sad that we had time to stay there only for one day. For next time, we plan to stay there longer.
Wainer
Excellent glamping safari experience. The rooms were delightful, dark polished wood floors and luxury bathrooms. Good positioning for Yala game reserve. We had a full day safari experience, the hotel packed us a breakfast and the driver set out a lovely Sri Lankan shared meal for lunch. Plenty of water and a good jeep.
Our hosts set up an under the stars BBQ for our last meal there and that was superb. Unfortunately We had to change our itinerary at the very last minute and our hosts could not have been nicer and more accommodating about the whole situation. I would definitely stay here again. Thanks for a lovely stay.
