The people make the place even better. I would love to go back again and stay more nights. You can also buy cinnamon sticks, black pepper etc… direct from their farm… so it’s cheap.

Blue Birds Tissa & Yala safari, hotel in Tanamalwila

Providing garden views, Blue Birds Tissa & Yala safari in Tissamaharama provides accommodations, a garden, a terrace, and a shared lounge. Beauty services is available for guests.

The best stay in Sri Lanka so far. Priya was so helpful! He sent us the bus schedule from Ella to Tissa, he drove us around the lake to see crocodiles and birds, and bats at a late time, he also arranged the safari in Yala for us for a great price, and prepared an early breakfast before leaving at 4:30. He drove us with his tuktuk when we needed to catch the bus to Tangalle and checked that we had successfully arrived. The room was also cozy and the location of the hotel is not far from the main road.

Really, this accommodation is a great accommodation. I stayed at this lodge for a day and I also went on a safari with the owner of this lodge. I saw many animals during that safari. The food provided by this accommodation is also very delicious. They run this accommodation with family members. I recommend this accommodation.

JAMI River Side Hotel & Yala Safari Place, hotel in Tanamalwila

JAMI River Side Hotel & Yala Safari Place in Tissamaharama provides accommodations with a garden and a shared lounge. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking, and free Wifi.

The entire family that run this place are about the nicest people you will ever meet. They did above and beyond to help me out, notably finding and then physically hailing mystery bus #10 direct to Elle which saved me 7 hours travel time. Facilities were clean, comfortable and relaxing even though, because I was too cheap to pay for air conditioning, a little hot in the early evenings. I suggest you choose more wisely. They have free bikes, which I was unable to take advantage of but others raved about and the on site food was very good. Bring guitar pics, music, and a few licks for their talented son.

    The host/owner, Anne, takes care of every single person or group that books the accommodation. Her English is great. Best English speaker we met in Sri Lanka. The rooms are comfortable with a lot of attention to detail. We did a safari tour and a boat ride, both organized by Anne on the day of arrival. All worked out very pleasantly and smoothly. Would recommend this stay!

    I had the best and tastiest srilankan food here. Anne is an amazing host, she took care of us and prepared snacks for our safari trip. She also arranged the safari for us and a boat tour but unfortunately it was raining. We can see alot of birds and wild animals around too.

    Tranquil Wild is perfectly located to explore the quieter side of Yala National Park. We had an amazing bird watching safari and saw around 40 local species in one afternoon. Ann, the owner, is on hand and was really warm and friendly. The food was humble, delicious and perfect for the setting. The rooms are really spacious and well appointed. We loved our stay and will be back.

    The location itself was very rural, which is exactly what we were hoping for. The property is very relaxing and quiet, with a nice pool and grounds. The entire staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Without a doubt, the best part of the stay was the staff helping us to arrange a safari to Lunugamvehera National Park. It was amazing! The food at the restaurant was very delicious as well.

    The garden is really nice and quiet. Especially in the morning I enjoyed my coffee on the terrace while watching the peacocks dancing in the field next to the garden. The host arranged a Safari to Lunugamvehera National Park for us, which is really recommended if you want to do a Safari without masses of tourists. We just saw 3 other jeeps and our guide took distance to the animals.

    Thanks to our host Prasad ! Organized safari, transport to next place, took us to see local landscape etc. The place itself (separate buiding) is just enough away from the highway at the small creek. Exactly the place to start safari in Yala (VI) . Thanamalwila also had the cheapest "Lion" on Lanka :)

    We had an extremely tranquil stay at Tranquil Wild! We decided to kick back and do nothing as we'd already previously been on an amazing safari so we just enjoyed this lovely location on the lake and relaxed and watched the peacocks and water buffaloes. Our room was lovely and the kids loved their beds up in the mezzanine. The highlight of our stay was doing a wonderful boat ride around the lake at sunset, it was the most relaxing thing and truly not to be missed! Anne the owner is a very attentive host.
