I stayed only one night but wished I stayed an extra one. The staff were so accommodating and extremely friendly. I really loved the afternoon walk around the village where I saw my first elephant of my Sri Lankan trip and evening walk around the gardens looking at the nocturnal animals.
I would highly recommend staying here!!

The team at Big Game was amazing! We booked because we really wanted to do a safari and that was amazing but we were blown away be everything else! The food was above and beyond what I expected with 4 courses for dinner, 3 at lunch , and a very full breakfast. They list breakfast as continental but it's much more than that.

The first tent we were in was fine but we upgraded part way through and really appreciated the extra space!

Stunning Mahoora tents

It started with a bad surprise, for which I would blame Hotels.com as they showed pictures of the Mahoora tents, but booked us in the Big Game tent… a lower standard.
Once that issue was cleared, we truely enjoyed our stay… the Mahoora tent is amazing, in a stunning environment. Service is great, candle dinner is amazing… and the safari organization was perfect.

Sri Lanka tour January 22

Well spaced out tented accommodation in a glorious lakeside setting. Very helpful courteous staff and excellent knowledgeable guide for nature walks. Solar power and recycling of plastics helps eco credentials. Basic shower facility but ‘does the job’. Food was very authentic Sri Lankan. And what could be better than sitting under a star lit sky eating dinner with a central wood fire! A very short drive to Wilpattu national park entrance. All in all a pleasant comfortable stay. Very good value bearing in mind luxury tented accommodation on Sri Lanka is three times the cost!

An unforgettable experience

I cannot recommend this place highly enough. It was an absolutely amazing experience to stay there. It’s a luxury campsite with large spacious tents. The beds are very comfy and each tent has a fully equipped bathroom including hot water. The campsite is beautiful and is located right in the middle of the jungle, so you can wake up to the lovely sound of birds and insects in the morning. The staff were so enthusiastic and knowledgeable and friendly. The hotel manager is a big fan of David Attenborough and can speak in a very knowledgeable manner about all of the wildlife in the park, it was truly very humbling to listen to him and how much they all cared about conservation. We were very pleased to see that the whole site was very eco-friendly, lots of it was run on solar power, and it was completely plastic-free. They give you stylish glass bottles with clean water in them so that you don’t have to use lots of plastic bottles. In the evening there is tea on the lawn followed by an incredible dinner in a clearing in the jungle. Before dinner a member of staff came to the tent and collected us and then led us through the campsite which was all lit up by lanterns through the jungle and into this beautiful clearing where tables had been set up under the stars. It was truly amazing to sit under the stars and have a freshly prepared meal (the food is included in the cost), and a cold beer after a long day Safari. We had an amazing stay.

Great safari

We stayed for 2 nights in April 2018. Staff were lovely from the minute we arrived. So friendly and helpful.

We did the full day safari offered by Big Game Camp which was brilliant. The naturalist knew so much, was really friendly and accommodating. We saw leopards, elephants, crocodiles, monkeys and wild boar, amongst other animals (but I think we were particularly lucky). It was a brilliant day, would recommend.

The tent was very nice and spacious and had a comfortable bed and a fan. The bathroom was in a separate ‘room’ within the tent. The shower was just cold water and not strong so probably not one for washing your hair in. Basic but nice.

In the evenings we were taken to the campfire for a drink - lovely. Then dinner was outside, romantic. The food was tasty but the main course was disappointingly English on both nights - barbecued meat and fish with boiled potatoes and veg, plus some rice.

Drinks were reasonably priced. After dinner it was a little lacklustre as it was assumed we would go back to the tent which was dark with a small light - not ideal at 9pm! But we asked if we could stay at the campfire and have a glass of wine and the staff were very polite and said this was ok. It would better if there was a more lit area to sit in the evening and maybe a bar.

Breakfast was better with fresh fruit, toast, roti.

Camp was very difficult to find, you had to follow the sign for ‘Eco team’.

Not quite a luxurious camp experience

Booked for a night stay due to its proximity to Wilpattu National Park which was nice for the early morning safari tour. Staff were very nice and friendly but seems a bit disorganized sometimes. We also expected a bit more from the condition of the camp itself due to their pricing and marketing as a luxury camp. The camp is only furnished with a simple double bed and an extremely small table with a small lamp which barely light up the room at night. Also encountered a big rat in the attached bathroom in the tent at night because the tent had holes which the rats can enter and this is a bit unnerving for someone who is afraid of rats. The night has a big dip in temperature and therefore was a bit chilly but the only blanket provided was a thin sheet. Had to get up to put on thicker clothes to keep warm.

Camp and site was well maintained and clean. The staff was very welcoming and helpful. The Breakfast and Dinning location is very beautiful, and the meals were on point. The safari they organized was totally worth it since we saw everything we had to in a matter of a few hours. Will always go back.

PERFECT GETAWAY IN THE WILD!

Totally loved every minute of our stay! We were warmly welcomed and all the staff were super friendly and always willing to help. Our safari was well organized and we were very lucky to have seen a lot of different wildlife. The BBQ dinner with a campfire and candles was amazing under a clear sky and plenty of stars.
Can't think of anything to complain of. Perfect 2 days spending our wedding anniversary!

Great tented camp experience!

On arrival the staff had no record of our booking. We also discovered they did not take credit card and we did not have enough cash for the game drives.....however, after some initial confusion, we were shown our tent, which was fine - big enough, surrounded by bush, birds and butterflies and with hammock! The staff were excellent - kind and attentive. We went for our game drive (but were unable to negotiate a discount for 2 drives - maybe you'll have more luck! we paid $110 per drive for 2 people, $220 for both drives). The park is gorgeous - more forested than Africa, but fewer people. Safari vehicle ideal. Saw a leopard!! After the drive, they took us to the ATMs in town to get cash, which took several attempts in four banks, but we got it! Problems solved!! Back for tea and biscuits, and get ready for dinner. There were holes in the tent and rats had smelled our food. However, they told us not to keep food in the tent and they took it away and looked after it, sewed up the holes and problem completely solved! Dinner was BBQ sat around an open fire - fantastic!!! They serve wine - pricey at LKR1000 a glass! Next day up at 5 for the morning drive - tea and coffee and snacks offered, and off to the park. All great - no leopards or bears but lakes, birds, scenery. Breakfast served from the vehicle in the wild!!! Wonderful! Back to pack and off to Colombo. We arranged our own transport as their was far more expensive. Overall - brilliant - totally recommend!

Moeilijk te vinden, maar fijn

De campsite is niet met borden aangeduid, dus zeer moeilijk te vinden met je eigen wagen.
Eenmaal ingechecked is alles OK. we kregen een upgrade tot een Mahoora tent, ruim en luxueus.
De game drive was zeer goed, een klein probleem met de wagen werd deskundig verholpen.

Disappointing experience

It's definitely not a luxury camping experience. The facility is not clean and food is so so. It's not worth for the money we spent.
The most serious problem is getting contact with the camp. We want to do a full day safari and we tried all means to contact the hotel - email/phone/whatsapp/hotels.com link but there's no reply. We end up arranging safari through our driver. It's quite disappointing.

Génial !

A recommander ! Tout était parfait : la tente , le barbecue du soir , la petite marche du soir pour nous montrer la faune , le safari réservé avec l hôtel (125$ pour 2 personnes ), et l accueil .Un remerciement à Kamel pour son accueil et ses services
