Hashan and his wife were exceptionally accommodating and truly made our stay memorable! We recommend treating the stay as a "whole package" experience:
Accommodation (booked through booking.com):
Located near the edge of Wilpattu National Park, the setting was scenic and convenient, making the early mornings for safari so much easier! While basic by Western standards, it’s clean, well-kept, and equipped with essentials like mosquito nets and warm water (not always common in the area and so nice after a day on safari). The delicious, spicy dinners (you have to ask for spice; if you get not spicy it is truly no spice) and cold beer added an authentic touch. We loved the short walk to a nearby tank, where we spotted more animals in the evenings.
Safari Experience (we messaged and booked):
We did two full-day safaris with Hashan, and his vehicle was perfect—an older model with a drop-down front window, ideal for photography. Sitting close to Hashan made it easy to communicate, and he was attentive to our needs, turning off the engine for steady shots and offering valuable wildlife insights (on other Safari's in Sri Lanka we sat separate to the driver which we found much less enjoyable). We saw an incredible range, from leopards (4 in two days!) to vibrant Bee-Eaters. The whole experience felt intimate and personalized, a true wildlife enthusiast’s dream!
Current Costs (as of August 2024):
Accommodation (with Dinner): 20000lkr/night
National Park Entrance: 21500LKR/day (this covers a vehicle, driver and 2 people)
Safari (with Food): 37000LKR/day (including tax for 2 people - in a private safari truck)
Note; the above are approximate (we lost our receipt) and to the best of our memory - Hashan; if we're off feel free to correct us in the reply as this sort of info is very useful for people trip planning :D
Overall, we can't recommend this experience highly enough for anyone seeking an authentic and well-rounded safari adventure!

We had a lovely stay at at Manike lodge ! The rooms were spotless and the ac worked perfectly. The rooms were also very big with room to make yourself at home.

We organized a safari with the owner. He was really helpful!
This is my second time at the Sungreen resort. As I expected, the food was exceptional, with menu that included a variety of Sri Lankan and Western dishes. The service throughout my stay was outstanding and welcoming. The hotel's location is convenient, making it easy to go on safari and visit Sigiriya, Dambulla temple, Ritigala, and more. I highly recommend this hotel.
This is a lovely property in a great location for Dambulla, Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa and Minneriya National Park. Lots to see and do all around here. The room was big and comfy, with great views. The staff were lovely, very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was fab and they went out of their way to accommodate my husband’s dietary needs. We also booked a safari through the hotel, this was last minute and our jeep arrived within 5 minutes. The price of the safari was cheaper than I found online too so that was a definite bonus.
The treehouses were simply amazing. Such an experience. Beautiful open air bathroom. Very friendly staff who arranged a great safari for us.
Our stay in the tree house was lovely. Our host Ruwan was so helpful with organising any excursion or transport we required. Even included us in a family celebration at a retirement village he has supported for 22 years. His main staff person, Isuru, looked after us exceptionally. And Irosh, the safari guide from our villa, gave us a wonderful tour of Habarana Eco Park- we were lucky enough to see several elephants. And Anthony was always happy to take us anywhere we wanted to go. Fond memories of Habarana.
Location is perfect, next to the entrance. The owner built the house by himself. Its beautifull , clean and new. The owner is the most friendly guy i've ever met. He arranged everything for us during our safari. The food was on an amazing level. So tastefull. I definitely recommend this accomodation.
The host Leel is super friendly and helpful. He arranged the safari for us with a very good and experienced driver Tharindu. Excellent food (especially the Sri Lankan dishes), abundant portions (we couldn’t finish everything). On the morning of check-out he packed the leftovers from breakfast (including a delicious chickpea dish) for us for lunch. The room has everything you need. Everything is new and clean. Location is right next to the park. Thank you Leel and Tharindu!
All was excellent . We loved the family who looked after us while we stayed. They cooked for us every evening with the best food we have eaten while in Sri Lanka ! Delicious! The breakfasts too were delicious with lots of variety! The room was spacious and had great aircon and was extremely clean. The family organised tuk tuk drivers and safari jeeps too. The lodge is a little out of town but so quiet away from the noise of Habarana, we were so happy there.
The lovely chocolatecakes we had when we arrived on our bicycles😁. The family was very helpful in organizing things for us like a safari and a tuktukdriver for a day who drove us to Dambulla, Pidurangala Rock and to our organic cooking class in Sigiriya (which we found on reisjunk).. Manike Lodge Is a very quiet place, which we loved very much.
