The space
The Campsite is situated in a mini forest reserve surrounded by a vast array of flora and fauna that is unique to the area facing the park boundary. It is inevitable that our guests get to observe and be a part of the natural wilderness within such a setting.

The tent consists of an outside seating area with 2 armchairs and a small coffee table , living area [ where we will have 2 additional beds ] , bedroom tent with an attached bathroom.

Guest access
The camp property has a span of 13 acre land and it is accessible with a naturalist present. Other than the kitchen and the dedicated tent areas at the camp site the guests have access to the property grounds as per the rules and regulations mentioned at the camping brief by the manager.

Other things to note
Although the tents are set up far from local villages, bear in mind that this area is very quiet, so the distant sound of a radio or temple chant may sometimes carry to the campsite. These occurrences are rare, but we would like to keep our customers informed in case such situations arise.

Where you’ll be

Yala, Kataragama, Sri Lanka

The Big Game campsite is located close to the “Katagamuwa” entrance (off Katharagama) facing the park boundary, with a 15 to 20 minute drive to the park entrance.

The area is a haven for a wide array of birds, which not only forage and hunt in the area, but also nest in the trees. The campsite might also give you glimpses of axis deer and the occasional Sri Lankan Elephant. It is not unknown to hear the sound of leopards and see the mischief that the various species of monkeys – purple-faced langurs and toque macaques – get up to. There is a watering hole in the campsite that attracts thirsty animals, and this gives our guests a great opportunity to observe wildlife up close.

We can provide short safaris for an extra cost.
