Coming down the B35 from Ella in our own tuktuk, we booked Safari Lodge Yala in Katharagama as our seventh accommodation on 25-27 March during our 15-day road trip, because of its proximity to the northern entrance to Yala NP. We were greeted with much enthusiasm by Savinda, who assigned us to the "Woodpecker" room. Nice and spacious with and en-suite bathroom. Both breakfast and dinner were delicious, just like the pineapple juice with a scoop of ice cream. A private safari was arranged for us by the accommodation with service partner Onadi Yala Safari. Driver and guide Prasad made this an unforgettable experience. Love from Belgium, Raf and Nadine

Location was good if you want to be a little outside of the town, quiet with animals and farmers around. The room was nice for the price. Bring your own blanket if you come here though, it was none. Staff and food was great.

A magnificent place in the middle of the nature. They had a beautiful garden with many flowers and herbs. We had a dinner here and it was the best dinner we had in Sri Lanka. We booked it in advance to be sure. We also bought the breakfast to go for Yala safari. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful and they were fluent english speakers. They had parking for our rental car.
