Excellent base for safari in yala. Only 15 minutes to the national park. Very welcoming, kind staff and always ready to help. They are well educated to show the wildlife, flora and fauna (really nice walk to a little village, exceptional safari in yala nationalpark). There is a rock just on the camp and after 2 minute walk you have a nice view. The rooms are fumigated every evening, so we didn't have to deal with any mosquitoes in the bed (the mosquito net worked perfectly if it was closed properly). We also didn't have to worry about elephants or other animals, as the doors could be closed well. We felt very safe at all times. The food was really good. If you like nature, it is just the perfect place to stay.

The host, Udara is awesome. He took us to a beautiful local temple and the scene behind the temple is beautiful and peaceful.... good place for meditation. He organised the safari trip for us. We had a home made packed breakfast on the safari , really good. We also ordered lunch cooked by Udara's mother.....yummy sri lankan food. Only regret, we only had 1 day at Yala.

We've stayed at a lot of hotels during our 3 week honeymoon travelling all of Sri Lanka, but Wild Culture Yala was hands down the best!! All the staff is super attentive, friendly and very easy going. We had the pleasure of spending a lot of time with Upul, who went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable! Besides the staff the food, pool, rooms and general Atmosphere and facilities are great and well worth a 12/10 score if possible :) PS: book the safari with the hotel. The price is competitive with other options we investigated, and the driver is super skilled and the car is very good.

The tents were lovely, a little bit of wear and tear but it’s to be expected in a jungle with rain. What made it special though was the staff and the experiences they provide. We booked our safari through them and got a private safari with a very knowledgeable ranger. It was also done in a 4WD (an old school Land Rover which was very cool), whilst many others are in 2WD. We found out the benefit of this as the roads were very badly damaged from the heavy rain the last few days and many cars got stuck, whilst ours didn’t. Another highlight was a candlelit dinner in the wilderness, as well as breakfast up in the tree canopies. We won’t ever forget this stay. Our only wish is that we stayed two nights rather than one as we didn’t get time to use the private pool

The villa provided a high level of comfort with all necessary amenities. The children had a great time observing the squirrels, lizards, and frogs around the property, which was perfect for those who appreciate nature. The service was attentive, and staff members took us out on mini excursions to nearby fishing village and beaches using a villa cart or tuktuk. These experiences were truly incredible and will be remembered for a long time. A big thank you to manager Mahdawa, Tallina and Suraj for taking such good care of us.

The pool is huge and fantastic for families and the dining experience was very positive too. The bar menu is accessible, the buffet very wide ranging with multiple cuisine types, and the Sri Lankan restaurant good quality. The private beach looks good but was closed to us. We also used the gym which had a couple of running machines and climbing, bikes etc.

The staff at Yakaduru are wonderful, in particular Nishantha who took us on the nature walk. His love and knowledge of wildlife really shone through. The huts are open to the elements in places (including the bathroom) but the team perform a visual inspection of each room at bedtime to remove any unwelcome critters and they also fumigate it. We had tea on the rocks and the BBQ which were both really magical and throughly enjoyed by our kids. Although we were only there for one night, it felt like a real adventure.

This is an incredible hotel that exceeded our expectations in many ways. It is hard to fault - the staff regularly went out of their way to meet our needs. The facilities were exceptional - our family pods were very comfortable and the decor classy and in keeping with safari vibes. Kids loved our private plunge pool! The spa was fabulous - possibility one of the best massages I have ever had thanks to experienced therapists. The quality of the food and choice at the restaurant can not be faulted.

Yakaduru is a great place where nature and tradition come together, making it perfect for tourists. We really liked how they treated us and how comfortable we felt during our stay. The safari was amazing, especially because our guide was so friendly and helpful. Despite the dry surroundings, Yakaduru felt peaceful with lots of trees and nice buildings. We had a fun BBQ night with interesting food. Exploring the chena fields and climbing treehouses made our trip even more exciting. We can't wait to come back with our kids for more fun!
