Yakaduru - Yala

Yala

Yakaduru Yala is located on the buffer Zone of Yala National Park. It's just 5 minutes away from the Yala National Park Entrance. Yakaduru is renowned for its architecture and tourism, where guest can stay in properties built by Mud and palm thatched roofing. Yakaduru Yala runs on renewable energy sources, and features free WiFi, on-site parking and a barbecue facility.

There is a 24-hour front desk at the property. Guests can engage in various activities, such as cycling and hiking. The resort also offers bike hire. Yakaduru Lodge is an amazing place to visit. We enjoyed a fantastic safari and saw many elephants bathing in the lake and playing. On Yala roads, we were thrilled to see leopards in their natural habitat. We had tea on the rocks during an amazing sunset, which was a breathtaking experience. At night, we participated in a Hoppers Night with the staff, where we cooked and enjoyed colorful hoppers together. The accommodation plan at Yakaduru is very traditional and sustainable. The views from the rooms are stunning, and the whole place has a great vibe. We felt like we were living in a traditional Sri Lankan village with many little houses. You might think it’s not good or too traditional when you look at them from the outside, but the rooms have all the modern facilities you need. We highly recommend Yakaduru for everyone. It’s a wonderful experience that combines the beauty of nature with the charm of traditional Sri Lankan culture.

The Boundary Yala

Kataragama

Located in Kataragama, 13 km from Situlpawwa, The Boundary Yala provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. The property is situated 21 km from Tissa Wewa, 46 km from Bundala Bird Sanctuary and 3.8 km from Kataragama Temple. Guests can enjoy garden views.

At the resort, each room comes with a desk. All rooms are complete with a private bathroom and air conditioning, and certain rooms include a balcony. Spacious clean AC rooms very close to Yala’s Katagamuwa entrance. We had our own front porch in a very peaceful private garden setting. The owner and host, Kapila, took care of all our needs, and arranged our full day safari for the next morning. He is a retired environmental journalist who knows plenty about all the SL national parks,especially Yala and the animals. We had an excellent safari driver and jeep. Kapila accompanied us on the safari which was a treat because he shared all his knowledge of the past, present and future of Yala, as well as all the details of every bird, mammal, reptile, insect we saw. The host family cooked us a most delicious homemade meal of rice and curry/fruits and cold beers. Just make sure you let Kapila know that you will want dinner beforehand, and anything else you want. I highly recommend boundary yala for your yala safari and stay. We enjoyed our time there and saw everything and learned a lot about the animals.

Enjoying a prime location, Cinnamon Wild Yala's restaurant provides beautiful landscapes and serves Asian and Western dishes. Meals can also be enjoyed in the privacy of guests’ rooms. Such a wonderful property and location. Full of wild life. The price is much more reasonable than the other ones close by. We’d come back here anytime and would stay for longer than just the one day that we booked. Staff were all amazing, helpful and friendly. Elephants wander around which was a pleasant surprise. Kids loved it.
